You have to admit, when people talk of the superb guards the BIG EAST is blessed to have in its ranks this season, the first three names that usually roll off the tongue are Marquette’s Markus Howard, St. John’s Shamorie Ponds and Seton Hall’s Myles Powell. Not a bad triumvirate, for sure.
But there is one name that seems to get omitted during those “Who’s the best guard?” discussions. The one who leads his team in a plethora of categories. The one whose name is found all over the BIG EAST statistical leaderboard. The one who plays his home games in one of the country’s finest and most historic facilities.
