All depends on the quality of the Big East this season. I think the conference as a whole will be down next year. Villanova will be top dog. Butler, Creighton, Marquette, Seton Hall, UConn, and Xavier will be smooshed in the middle. DePaul, Providence, and St. John's will have at least a prayer of making the NCAAs. Georgetown will be BAD.

Don't get the Butler love, think they'll be much closer to DePaul and Providence level than Creighton, Seton Hall, or even our level.  Lost three of their top 4 scorers (like us).  Top returning scorer is a forward that can't really create his own shot.  Incoming freshman class isn't nearly as good as ours (any of our freshman would be their highest rated recruit).  And assuming that DJ gets his waiver, we also have a better immediately eligible guard.  Seems like a textbook NIT team.

Maybe.  Without Alexander,  I'm not so sure. That being said,  I would put them towards the top of that middle group
They return the whole rest of their starting lineup plus Mahoney who was Sixth man of the year in the Big East .

In addition , Creighton will  also have a Healthy Jacob Epperson back, he did not play last year because of surgery.

They also have Antwann Jones, the transfer from Memphis , eligible. He is a big ( 6-6 )physical guard who has had a year to get acclimated to the Creighton program.

So they are going to have plenty of offensive firepower and increased Defensive and Rebounding capabilities.
Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

I'm well aware of what they have coming back, though I don't think Epperson's health is a lock as you suggest. They also have a trio of talented freshmen coming in. I just hesitate to call them great. I think the distance between them and Villanova will be greater than the distance between them and the rest of the league. Though Saddiq Bey's departure defintiely closes the gap...but that only goes to further the original point that the league will be down as a whole compared to last season.

Xavier has a ton of moving parts with a coach that has been "eh" so far.  Can he mold this group into a team and how quickly will that take?  Still little outside shooting on this roster.  I can see them at the bottom along with Butler.

I'm not sure about them either. I'd put them at the bottom of the middle group. I like them a lot defensively, but I have no idea where the scoring is going to come from.

Yep, I think there's a tendency for scoopers to look at what we've lost (which is a lot) in a vacuum, and not compare it to the rest of the league.  Providence lost a ton, Butler lost all of their scorers, X lost quite a bit from a team that wasn't great to begin with, Gtown is absolutely gutted (it's almost comical to compare their roster from 365 days ago to now).  I know that I look at things through gold tinted glasses (injured players returning to form, Carton getting a waiver, Freshman coming in as billed), but .500 in Conference certainly seems attainable.

We may or may not play Minnesota and not sure he will get a waiver but Gophers land former Austin Minnesota star Both Gach in transfer from Utah. Sam Hauser liked Both Gach’s Tweet.

Meaning way above the bubble prolly 8-9 seed.   Jjjjj said we will go 10-10 n be on the bubble

I mean, I was being fairly liberal with the use of the term "bubble".  I don't think a 19-13 team is so far from the bubble in a positive or negative direction that its worth pointing out. 

I also think 19-13 is an absolute pipe dream without Carton.  May even be one with him. 
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.

I think OSU feels pretty confident that their one year ban will be overturned or reduced.  It is kind of a ridiculous punishment all things considered.

"I view it differently from most people. To me, the important things are scheduling, referees, coaching, and material-- in that order. I rank scheduling first because that includes not just who you play but when and where you play them. For instance, South Carolina opens this year against Minnesota and Alabama. That's Dunkirk. You're supposed to play your first game against East Cupcake."

Philly just banned gatherings of 50+ through Feb 28th.  Technically Nova plays in Villanova, PA so they could work around these rules.  Something to keep an eye on relative to staging BE games / attending BE games.
