 preseason poll: Villanova receives 9 of 10 first-place votes and the defending national champs are picked to win the Big East again. 2) Xavier (with one first place vote) 3. Creighton T4. Georgetown T4. Seton Hall 6. Butler 7. Marquette 8. St. John's 9. Providence 10. DePaul

preseason poll: Villanova receives 9 of 10 first-place votes and the defending national champs are picked to win the Big East again. 2) Xavier (with one first place vote) 3. Creighton T4. Georgetown T4. Seton Hall 6. Butler 7. Marquette 8. St. John's 9. Providence 10. DePaul

It was explained on the media day coverage, that coaches fill out their picks 1-9, leaving their own teams off.  So, Villanova was basically a unanimous selection (with Wright being responsible for the Xavier vote).

Someone got an A in logic.

I on the other hand, need to look at your notes....

This All BE 2nd team stinks. I remember when All BE 4th team meant something.

Billy Garrett sucks

Sickle Cell Disease will do that to a player...

I wouldnt have had him as a 2d teamer.  He can only play 20 min a game max.

Any All BE potential on our squad?
RF, Lovett, Ponds, Bash, Yakwe?

Both those guys are nice complementary pieces.  If either is an All Conference player, it really does speak to Poison's original point - lack of high end talent at the top of the league.

Would you rather have those two guys at the 3 and 4 or Bashir and Yakwe?

If Italians got sickle cell MB would have Mussini short listed as a first team AA.

Sickle cell is a deadly disease - nobody should ever joke about it.

Did you type that while wearing your "I'm with her" pin?
Everything can be joked about.

Did you have anybody die from it in your family or friend die from sickle cell.
I have and do not see the joke
How about somebody joke about one of the diseases that kill one somebody from your family.
How about I joke about a fatal disease that only for example only affected Jewish people - I am sure nobody would be laughing then.

I wasn't calling out a lack of talent. Really, it's what I hope is a lack of awareness. The names on the second team are only there because they are familiar names. So, hopefully, 2 out Yakwe, LoVett, Ponds, Ahmed, Ellison and Freudenberg surprise us in a good way.

Scheppy needs a hug Or did someone in your family die from hugs too?
Time to man up before Trump grabs you.
