Around the Big East 19/20

CONNECTICUT

Things already look to be trending back upward for Dan Hurley’s Huskies. They’ve won six of their last eight and have a blossoming young star in freshman guard James Bouknight. They’ll lose guard Christian Vital, who has lit up scoreboards, and when freshman shot blocker Akok Akok will be able to return from an Achilles tear is unknown, but they get the majority of their best players back and there’s a lot of excitement about the potential of Howard transfer R.J. Cole.

Throw in four-star recruits Andre Jackson and Javonte Brown-Ferguson, and UConn’s highly anticipated return to the Big East could be an exciting one.

If he goes doesn't seem like it will be his choice. ;)

Let's hope for fighting ejections!
 
Micheal Carter Williams’ brother Marcus Zegarowski gets chippy a lot, very good though.

Wow students rush the court, but Zegarowski limps off and looks near tears.

Got hurt with like 2 minutes left.
 
Julian's good game today made me think about the current Big East Freshman. Not as talented as last years class or as deep but the All Freshman team seems pretty locked right now...

Champagnie
Robinson-Earl & Moore from Villanova
Weems from DePaul
Freemantle from Xavier

Am I overlooking anyone? I really can't think of anyone else who makes sense. Also am I insane for thinking that if Champagnie is able to have a couple more strong performances in the Big East tournament he can leapfrog Robinson-Earl or Moore for Freshman of the Year? I don't think it's likely but it seems possible now.

The voting is done before the Big East Tournament.

IMO, it's Robison-Earl. Champ has been the rookie of the last 6 weeks, but Robinson-Earl has been better from start to finish, IMO.
 
Not sure the regular season title means much but Seton Hall really let it get away. One day I think SH can make a run and the next I think they could lose in the first round. That kind of year in the NCAA.

Wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the info. Yes, definitely Robinson-Earl in that case.
 
Admit I never saw this coming from Providence.

Also this DePaul debacle I think is going to seal Leitao's fate. Funny too it looked so promising early on this year that they finally turned the corner. Looked like Leitao in a must win year was going to save his job.
