Nope, wrong. They're all Marquette homers. No way we finish in the top half. We are rebuilding this year, probably shouldn't even expect to make the NCAA tourney. Too many freshman, lost all our good players, etc. lol.
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

I think you just covered every possible reply. Well done.
Big East Basketball is what it's always been. Great competition nightly.
If the Atlantic 10 didn't suck, why is everyone looking for the exits?
There is a reason why the A-10 left a team in the Central Time Zone...SLU, your move.

Seems pretty fair as far as X is concerned. I think a shot at the tournament is realistic this year, and should be expected next year.

We picked your team to win the conference in the HolyLand poll. What more do want? That we think you are a lock for the Final 4?

I'd bet every fan of every team in the top 7 in this league could make some sarcastic post of this sort about where they were/are predicted to finish. Like it or not it's a very balanced league this year. At least your on top.

Alright, I may have over-indulged in the validation. However, it's nice to have considering recent threads. We've all been a little on edge recently, the season needs to start already.

And for whatever it's worth, I think the separation between spots 1-5 are closer than spots 1-2 in most conferences. We all have very good teams.

One writer had Butler finishing ahead of St. John's. Ain't happening. And St. John's has 4 new players, not one. Orlando Sanchez is a monster and many think he's more talented then Jakarr Sampson who won the Big East Rookie of the year. Then there's Rasheed Jordon, a 5 star player, not 4. Then God's Gift Achua who was solid in his first year at St. John's. Then finally we have a sharpshooting 3 point shooter in Max Hooper. St. John's needed a point guard like Jordon and they got one, they got the forwards they need now and the 3 point threat. And Harrison will be more focused. The new Big East is shaping up very nicely.

It wasn't unanimous :cry:

And you'll probably finish 2nd or 3rd, just because you're the favorite.
