As expected, Big East commissioner Val Ackerman announces the Gavitt Games against the Big Ten are canceled for this season.

The Big East has announced the implementation of the John Thompson Award, which will be given annually to an athletic department or team that best embraces the fight for social justice, per release.
 
Ackerman said there won't be a conference policy to ban fans. Up to schools. #bigeasthoops

Mike Anderson: “Hopefully you’ll see our team more balanced this year. Having access to our guys, testing, all the things you gotta do to prepare our team, we’re taking it day by day. We’re gonna try to make it as normal as we possibly can.” #sjubb

Mike Anderson on COVID: “This thing touches a lot of different areas, and I don’t think people realize that. You just have to be adaptable.”

Mike Anderson on being picked 9th and opening at #UConn: “The analogy I made last year was I was my wife’s third choice and it didn’t turn out that bad. UConn’s gonna be a big challenge. Coming out of the gates, you gotta be ready to play.” #sjubb

Mike Anderson: “The league’s going to be really good. If you look back on our season last year, we were in 7-8 games that were one possession. I thought our guys competed last year, they just didn’t finish games.”

Mike Anderson on being picked 9th: “I don’t take it personal. I always tell my guys it’s not the start of the race. We got popped upside the head (last year) and it took us a while. All that means is we gotta continue to work and prove we can be the best.”

Mike Anderson: “Julian will be better, Greg will be better, we got a lot of freshmen coming in...Posh Alexander’s gonna be an exciting player for us, so is Vince Cole and Isaih Moore.”

Mike Anderson: “We got some better players, that’s gonna help. We’re gonna be a more versatile team this year, we’ll be a much different team. We didn’t have Mustapha most of the year, he was hurt, so now those guys have a year under their belt now.”

Cole apparently had knee injury recently

Mike Anderson: “I’ll tell you what, I like what Toro brings to the table. He brings maturity, he does whatever it takes to help the team win. Posh has a lot of confidence.”

Mike Anderson said Vince Cole has been out for three weeks with a knee injury. Hopes to have him back within a week. Knee bruise

Mike Anderson: “Rasheem Dunn’s in for a big year, and with the emergence of Greg Williams, I think it’s gonna be a number of guys. Isaih Moore is a versatile forward, and you can’t look past what Julian did last year. He’s hungrier, he’s humble about it.” #sjubb

Mike Anderson said Josh Roberts has put on 10 pounds of muscle and has looked good of late. "He's starting to do some things I envisioned him doing last year." #sjubb

Here we go again. We beat each other up every year before the season begins.

So the presumptive player of the year doesn't make either first or second team All BE. How is that?
