weird league (so far) this year

[pearl31]

Except for us, it's like the bizarro Big East. Pitt, L'vlle, Nova and even uconn are suddenly way down. While SH, Rutgers, Cinci and Provvy are contending.

Providence isn't exactly contending at 1-4. Their win last night is probably more reflective of Lville's downfall.

RU looks to have a nice young team that is really improving. Back to back wins vs. UConn and Pitt (even though they clearly stink) is relatively historic for RU, not to mention their win over UF a couple of weeks ago.

Seton Hall isn't that big of a surprise for me, considering they have two great players in Pope and Theodore. Solid inside/outside combo that can win you a lot of games.

The jury is still out on Cinci, imo.

In the end, I still think the league title will come down to us vs. UConn. They are struggling, but I fully expect for them to significantly improve between now and late February when we play them.

The key to winning the Big East for us this season is to get out to as big of a lead (wins/record wise) on the rest of the conference. Let them all beat each other up in the first 10 to 12 games of the year. Hopefully we'll have a 2 or 3 game lead on the 2nd place team by mid February, and we can coast to the league title.

I tend to agree about it ultimately coming down to us and uconn - but to see pitt, ville and Nova in the cellar is a bit odd.

I keep thinking we've avoided the weirdness so far- but won't forever.
