Happy Tuesday! Hope you readers of Big East Coast Bias are having a good day out there. Us here at BECB would like to extend a belated Happy Columbus Day to everybody, and would like to remind everyone that we're under a month from the college basketball season. Doesn't that sound so exciting???
Today, in just a few hours, you'll be seeing our opinions on the Top 5 Shooting Guards in the conference, and just in case you missed it, we had a Seton Hall Pirates-related podcast last night as part of our preview series.
With that said, here are some links for you this morning. If you feel that there's more to discuss, please provide a few things in the comments section below!
