Who is under the most pressure in the Big East?
Chris Thedinga: I'll give an outside the box answer for 'Who is under the most pressure?' I'll go with
Jordan Dingle, the former Penn Quaker. Dingle comes to St. John's and Rick Pitino boasting massive numbers at Penn in his three-year tenure. There's a lot on the line for Dingle when it comes to his post-collegiate career.
The bump up in competition from the Ivy to the Big East is considerable, but the '23 version of the Ivy was nothing to scoff at. Dingle put up 23.4 points per game while shooting at a 46 percent clip. He also got the free throw line about as much as any guard in the country.
Dingle has the skillset and the pedigree to play at the next level. But he'll have to prove it this season at SJU to maintain the attention of NBA front offices.
Here's a look at some of the Big East players and coaches who are feeling the heat this season.
