Austin Freeman? Brandon Triche? I wouldn't put them on an All BE 3rd team.

What a joke.

LOL  I might can agree with you about Triche not worthy of being on an All Big East 3rd team, but I think Freeman is worthy of being a 1st or 2nd team all conference.

Wooden Award list?  I have no problem with Freeman being on the initial list.  But, Triche?!  No way!

Triche is purely a speculation pick. He didn't do enough last year to earn anything close to this, but this implies he'll blow up

Remember Baldi, Triche was 18 last year.
Chris Wright is a college basketball veteran.

We know how good Wright is now.

Let's see what kind of player Triche is now that he's had a full season under his belt.

I have played against Triche a couple of times he is legit just give him another year or so.  I am 4 yrs older than him and the couple of times we played him he more than held his own, but had a bad knee injury in hs.  Once he adjusts to the speed he will be one hell of a player.

Also, Syracuse is bringing in a guard that has been compared to Baron Davis and Dwayne Wade.

His name is Dion Waiters.

Mookie will get burn this year.

Let's hope Paris Horne doesn't play his patented I dare you to make a wide open 3 pointer defense.

He's talented, but who compared him to those two?

Paris is our best, and hardest working, defender.

Paris doesn't guard the 3, but I agree, he does work hard. Hopefully, Lavin can help him learn an all around game before he leaves.

Leaving shooters wide open was probably a Norm Roberts mandate.
