Year 5 of the new Big East should prove to be another banner year for the conference.
1. Hall- Senior bunch with championship pedigree is going to have a big year. Delgado could average 15 rpg this year.
2. Prov- Arguably the most talented team in the conference. Experienced veteran leaders throughout, star freshmen coming in. Will go deep into March.
3. Nova- They're reloaded and look like a trademark Jay Wright team but they don't have the seniors that the teams above have. Collin Gillepsi is the next Nardi-Arch-DiVincenzo mold.
4. Johnnies-Two full years worth of hard work pays off in year three. I expect Shamorie, Marcus and Bash to have all league years.
5. X- Mack is a terrific coach who should be going to Trevon Bluiett a whole lot this year.
6. Creighton-Foresee a breakout year for Khyri Thomas, think the Bluejays flirt with March, interesting year ahead for them.
7. Marquette- Wojo has a nice prospects in Sam Hauser and Markus Howard, think their youth will be inconsistent.
8. Butler- Kelan Martin should be a beast this year but the league is too talented for them overall.
9. DePaul-Recruiting momentum finally starting to build with their new arena, excited to check it out soon. Have more momentum than the Hoyas.
10. GTown- Much like Clyde Drexler and Mullin, Ewing has a brutal rebuilding process to undertake. Derrickson and Govan should each have big years but their roster is thin.

I think SJU ends up in 5th place. Our main competition for the spot are Butler and Creighton. I think we have enough to stay ahead of them this year. Butler with new coach, although they are vey talented. Creighton also very talented, but I still think they are going to miss a true inside presence more than we have, with their style of ball.
I think we have a lot of kids who were already excellent as freshmen, but there's a big transition to soph and we will have a more mature team. We have some of the best guards in the country, but now also have dynamic forwards. This year we make the NCAA tourney, and I suspect the Big East overall gets at least 6 teams into the tourney.

You realize X made the Elite Eight last year without Summer, right?

They also had a 9-9 BE record. They'll be a tough out but I like the rosters ahead of them over the course of the 18 game conference season.

Do we think Ponds and Lovett are better than Howard and Rowsey?

Yes

I think SHU will be best team in the league next year.
Veteran teams with really tough kids...
I think SJU finishes 5th and is close to the fringe of the NCAA Tournament
-
I've got Nova, X, Providence, Hall, Creighton, and then St. John's (although I think both Butler and Marquette push us for that 6th place in the BE).
If the coaching improves along with the chemistry, I think this team can be a bubble team.

My one concern about Seton Hall is that they don't have a point guard, and it's a significant issue. Hall fans think/thought it would be Carrington but reports are that he has looked awful this summer trying to run the point. They are deep, talented and experienced. Not having a PG could hurt a bit though.

A decent PG would rack up the assists on that team

Based on the quote above, the team should without a doubt be an NCAA Tournament team.

Should be, but that's a big if.
