I think they got the All-Big East team perfect. A little surprised Providence is picked last, they must not have alot of respect for them without Brooks (which makes sense considering they won 4 games with him). I just think there are worse teams than Providence, although the bottom 3-4 are all pretty bad.
Glad to see de Paul, Providence and Seton Hall adding their usual value.
West Virginia fans hate everybody. They remember every snub and joke and bit of snark. And they never forgive, and they never, ever forget. In other words, they're a lot like West Virginians in general.
but but but but Jeremy Hazell...
yeah, seriously, other than Georgetown and Marquette, the football schools have been all over the top of the Big East basketball standings for a while now.
