Got another W against a top 25 team

Great Tourney for Villanova!! They are good. Love #3, freshman Josh Hart, he can play.

Time for MU to be the 2nd Big East team to win a Turkey week tournament.

Unfortunately it looks like Nova is the only Big East team doing much of anything in the non-conference season.

Overall, this is going to be a down year for the Big East. There are a lot of average to good teams, but no really good teams that I see. The good news is that with the exception of Creighton, most of the teams are very young, have good recruiting classes coming in, and should be better next year. I also don't think the conference will lose many, if any, players early to the draft with the exception of St. Johns (where Lavin can't coach them anyway).
