Ever since head coach Kevin Willard came to Seton Hall, he established a defensive identity for the team. However, the team has had its troubles on offense at times. In the past few games, it has been as obvious as ever that the Pirates have a very hard time putting the ball in the basket. Against Louisville, [...]
While it seems like the DePaul Blue Demons are still a year away, their best player certainly isn’t. Cleveland Melvin has been going off, with his latest masterpiece being a 32-point performance in a tight loss to Cincinnati. Melvin also pulled down eight boards.

The Louisville Cardinals survived a tough road test last night against Connecticut, so it’s pretty clear that they’re the top team in the Big East. But who’s number two?

The ESPN Top 25 preseason rankings are being announced this week, and with 21-25 already released, Big East schools Notre Dame and Cincinnati have come in at #22 and #24, respectively.

There will be a Calhoun on the Connecticut Huskies to start the season, but it won’t be former head coach Jim Calhoun. Instead, it will be highly touted freshman Omar Calhoun. Calhoun is stepping onto a Huskies’ team that is loaded with turmoil and needs something to hang onto. He may be that something. Calhoun has good size [...]
With the college basketball season just a few weeks away, it’s time to get past all the preseason hype and start looking forward to actual games. Fans should be chomping at the bit, especially if they’re love the Big East. With Syracuse, Notre Dame, and Pittsburgh all on their way out, we must relish this season for what [...]
