Big East Tournament Picks, Predictions, Odds

Admittedly, it is hard to assess without having seen or knowing all the other teams so well at this point, but on its face, knowing what we've got (or think we've got), I find that hard to believe.

Agree but I think that allot of what is written is based on players performances in the past. And while Soriano seems greatly improved offensively and Jones a bonified scorer and Posh (hopefully with a better shot) is consistent, none of the other players, in the writer’s eyes, were anything to write home about. And perhaps, aside from the players, the writer may not be sold on coach A’s system which in the past has given up way too many points.

To me, this years success may hinge on the contributions of Curbelo, Storr and Stanley. . If Curbelo lives up to the hype, Storr gets close to his potential and Stanley can give the team a strong inside presence, we could be looking at a Dance invite. Even with as such, I just can’t see this team finishing any higher then 5th or 6th but hope on wrong on that.
 
The motto this season is simple. Prove it.

This team hasn't earned benefit of the doubt for a top 4-5 ranking in Big East. Prove that the 8 returning guys and big splashes in the portal are going to make for a better cohesive unit. Win the games that matter. Let them doubt now, and eat their words later.

Pressure is on, so thrive in it and Prove it.
 
I mean these are completely meaningless. Although, I think the odds pretty correct. Are we the 9th best team in the league? Maybe, maybe not but +2000 is a draw for NYers and they can definitely make some cash. Once you get into the +1000s they are just looking to get suckers money. Throw $10 on it for $200

Hard to figure? Clearly based on returnees and recruiting agree that Creighton is number one but after that it's a scramble with lots of unknowns. Here are some....

1. Will the Johnnies with new additions and an improved Posh and Soriano make the jump?

2. Will G Town with some great recruits and the return of Wahab be back in the hunt?

3. Can Nova sustain its dominance with their new coach?

4. Will highly touted new coaches at Butler and Xavier make a difference?

5. Will UConn with a stellar recruiting class and the return of Song win the league?

We can go on and on.
