The DePaul Blue Demons finished at the very bottom of the Big East last season, recording only three conference wins. However, this was nothing new for DePaul. They did show some promise in nonconference play, going 9-4, thanks mainly to their “Big 3″ of sophomores (who will be juniors next season): Cleveland Melvin, Brandon Young, [...]

With the departure of Maalik Wayns, their top scorer, the ‘Cats could be in trouble this coming season and are desperately in need of someone to break out.

A lot of people, myself included, picked the Pittsburgh Panthers to win the Big East last season. Their 5-13 conference record showed that we were very misguided with this team. A #1 seed in the NCAA tournament just a year ago, Pittsburgh fell to the bottom of the Big East, and it’s not looking good [...]

The St. John’s Red Storm had an incredibly young class last year with seven freshman. Everyone will be back besides Moe Harkless and everyone will likely improve with a year under their belts. However, the team will need some serious breakouts in they want to contend in the Big East. No one’s development is more [...]

Too long have the Rutgers Scarlett Knights been stuck at the bottom of the Big East standings. The team hasn’t had a wining record since the 2005-2006 season. Head coach Mike Rice seems like he’s on the right track to build this squad, but they’re not quite there yet. The emergence of Eli Carter last [...]

It’s amazing what two years’ difference can make. Back in 201o, the Connecticut Huskies were the Big East and national champions, on top of the world. Now in 2012, they enter a season where they just lost two lottery picks in Jeremy Lamb and Andre Drummond and will be left out of both tournaments they won two [...]

After one of their better seasons in recent memory, the Seton Hall Pirates fell flat in their final few Big East games and missed the NCAA tournament. What was looking to be a resurgent year for the program saw Pirate fans, including myself, disappointed in the end. With the graduation of seniors Jordan Theodore and [...]

The Louisville Cardinals made a shocking run to win the Big East tournament and make it to the Final Four. They look to be even better this year.

Debby Wong-US PRESSWIRE

The South Florida Bulls, an up and coming Big East program, relied heavily on head coach Stan Heath‘s philosophy of defense. However, when a team has as much success as USF did this past season, there has to be some sort of offense to help the cause. Victor Rudd Jr. was a big reason the [...]
