Big East Conference Preview


Last season might be described as crazy and suprising. This season could be more of the same, there are four teams that have a legit shot of winning the Big East crown. West Virgina and South Florida are the two proven vets, Pitt and UConn are the new contenders looking to make a mark. Pitt has already had a clutch moment, last season they defeated the Mountaineers in that Morgantown epic
5 Best Players
Matt Grothe (So. Florida)
Pat White (West Va.)
Noel Devine (West Va.)
LeSean McCoy (Pitt)
Courtrney Greene (Rutgers)
3 Players to pay attention to
Greg Cross (Pitt)
Pat McAffe (West Va.)
Hunter Cantwell (Louisville)
Coach on the Hot Seat
Steve Kragthorpe (Louisville)
3 Games to watch
Auburn at West Va. (October 23)
Probably the only tough game for Pat White and co. until at trip to Pitt in Late November
Pitt at UConn (December 6)
A bowl bid could be on the line in this one
South Florida at UConn (November 23)
UConn could play two roles in this game, Spoiler or title contender at this point in the season
