Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Long time, first time. Who has the best and worst in the Big East? Trying to have some fun feel free to add photos.

1- uniforms
2- campus
3- coeds
4- what else?

Despite being a Providence Alum, PC's mascot has to be the worst. It has been know to make young children cry.

I know, we have to get the dalmatian back.

The Providence mascot is pretty scary, but I liked the Providence grey unis with the white lettering they wore this year. I also like the Johnnies road reds and Marquette'sbaby blues. The Hoya and Nova unis are a bit bland.

One guy's thoughts.

uniforms - Marquette


campus - Georgetown


coeds -

Uniforms - Marquette easily
Arena - Has to be MSG
Campus - Agree, Georgetown
Facilities? - Not sure about other teams'. All I know is that it isn't Georgetown. Marquette's Al McGuire Center is pretty world class.

Uniforms-Marquette
Arena-St. Johns (MSG)
Campus-Georgetown (beautiful on the river)
Facilities-Creighton (CLCO,TDAPO, Morrison, Sokol,Practice facility)

Starting out with the coed category, I believe it's safe to say that it is all relative. Kudos for finding that Xavier picture, but it probably is safe to say that a bunch of mostly academic, private schools aren't going to fare well in a category that is virtually owned by SEC and other mainly southern schools. I understand you were keeping this to our 10 schools, but it's just an interesting category to consider. I imagine you had a little tongue in cheek action going on when you typed that out.

I suppose Georgetown's campus wins the campus category. Being in Georgetown certainly is nice. Being on the Potomac River is a nice setting. But I've always liked Villanova's campus and Xavier's campus for the fact that they both have main academic rows of buildings sitting prominently along their main drives. Going back to the Cintas Center, Xavier has experienced over a quarter billion dollars worth of construction on its campus. Phase 1 of what is being referred to as University Station, a $54 million project, is starting this month. I have to imagine that schools like Providence and Creighton have pretty nice settings as well.

As for facilities, if we are talking about basketball venues, then the Cintas Center has to be near the top of the list. Xavier's baseball and soccer stadiums are nice. But a recent crowning jewel is the golf facility that will serve as home for both the men's and women's golf teams. It is a state-of-the-art facility located at Macetewah Country Club in Cincinnati; a little under $2 million and it includes a specialized, fitting and golf swing analysis system, thanks to Puma Golf's president being a Xavier graduate.

Uniforms? I'll give the nod to Marquette as well, though I am a homer and like Xavier's uniforms.

I've always liked these uniforms




Best arena - no question.

1. Uniform: Georgetown. Jordan brand has hooked us with great looking jerseys with the kente sides. Marquette has great Jerseys too. Don't know much about the new schools uni's so they might have some great ones too.

2. Campus: Georgetown. Absolutely beautiful campus on the Potomac, in DC proper but when you're on campus you'd have no idea.

3. Arena: St. John's. No explanation needed.

4. Mascot: Xavier or Seton Hall. Perhaps they should fight for dominance.

5. Cheerleaders: Not sure who is best but Georgetown has the WORST, and that's a crown we won't surrender easily.
