Sports Illustrated completed their annual ranking of the 351 Division I College Basketball teams on Tuesday. One Big East team made the Top 25, that team being Villanova who comes in at number eight. From there, Georgetown and Xavier come in at #31 and #42, respectively. Then we see a huge drop off. Let's take a look at the list in full, from a Big East perspective.
#31: Georgetown Hoyas
#42: Xavier Musketeers
#58: St. John's Red Storm
#61: Providence Friars
#79: Seton Hall Pirates
#82: Creighton Bluejays
#102: Butler Bulldogs
#182: DePaul Blue Demons
Poor DePaul. They are sandwiched between Lehigh and Northern Arizona, so it has to be lonely down there. Also, Marquette is much higher than I would have thought, given all that they've lost.
