Second favorite Big East team

[classof2k]

Comments in Nova threads got me wondering what other Big East teams scoopers favor.  Nova and Creighton would be my top two - largely due to affinity developed before becoming conference foes.

Nobody.

Warriors eat Wildcats, Blue Demons, Blue Jays.

We slay Bulldogs, Musketeers and Pirates.

We send Friars to monasteries.

We outlast Red Storms.

Not sure what we do with Hoyas other than kick the crap out of them.

Xavier, I really respect what they've built up but I don't feel threatened or jealous like I do of Nova or GTown.

Nova for me, and it's not very close.  Jay Wright has always been a class act and I really like the style of basketball his teams play.

I like Providence for the following reasons:
1. Ed Cooley is a high quality coach .
2. I enjoyed Ernie D and Marvin "Bad News " Barnes back in the day. Then Pitino with Billy Donovan and the 3 point strategy  was  fun.
3. The  Dunkin Donuts Center seems to allways be rocking.
4. We have the quirky history of the Bat game with them.
5. We seem to have the upper hand over them  , so I can enjoy their success and not have it impact us.

After Providence I like Creighton because of the fan enthusiasm and I think McDermott is a quality coach. They also are a fun team to watch.

I'm pretty sure we (W)Ring Out A Hoyas for an MU rah rah!

Have always liked and respected 'nova. They play smart...which is a welcome change from the way MU typically plays.

I did the exact same poll in December resulting in much different results

Interesting you can see that Nova is running away with it now, a recency effect of winning yesterday.

Also, I did a companion poll at the same time, asking what Big East you hate the most.

Georgetown and Depaul ran away with it ... Nova was a distant third.

Did we just have this thread a couple of months ago?

Also, I see some recency bias is in action here.

I appreciate/respect almost everyone in the current BE (exceptions being my lingering distaste for Seton Hall, apathy for DePaul, and annoyance with Gtown attendance), so right now I'll side with the standard bearers bringing in the checks.

DePaul. Since 2008-2009 in conference (both Big Easts):

19 wins

125 losses
