Oso planning to go pro
DePaul was the best last place team in the P6. The Big East is very tough.
They were also the best last place team in 2018-19 when they went 7-11 in the BE and 19-17 overall. Heck, they probably have been the best last place team a few times in the last decade.

Ehhh a lot of other years had mind blowing non con losses and 18-19 it only came together in conference. This year they truly were the best last place team.
I would argue that finishing strong in 18-19 (as opposed to their epic face-plant down the stretch this year) makes it even clearer that they were the best last place team.
However unlikely, Saddiq Bey could still return to Villanova as well.
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
Fair enough. Guess it depends if you mean best last place as in better than other conferences or best last place meaning able to compete within the conference.
Mike Anderson did a nice job with very little at The Johnnies and I would not be surprised to see him take that team up a notch. Georgetown has some question marks.
Honestly, I think it means a little of both. But making the distinction between the two is difficult because non-conference games are always weighted toward the early season, and conference games occur late. So the difference between 18-19 and 19-20 might not lie so much in whether DePaul was "better than other last place teams" or "more able to compete within the BE" as it was in starting slow one season and starting hot the other. Put another way, maybe DePaul just appeared to be better than the last place teams of other conferences last season simply because they started hot. And maybe the season before, they didn't appear as strong simply because they started slow.Anyhow, to-MAY-toes vs to-MAH-toes. Either way, they are still the last place team, but not bad as far as last place teams go....

This is no surprise at all...Evan Daniels@EvanDaniels·50sDePaul forward Paul Reed is bypassing his remaining college eligibility and signing with Ron Shade of Octagon for his professional representation, a source tells @247Sports. Reed averaged 15.1 PPG and 10.7 RPG this past season.
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
Georgetown's five year record since 2015: 78-82, 31-59 in the Big East.And for 20-21? Georgetown loses 63% of its scoring and returns two starters, each of which shot under 39 percent on the season.
