Well, someone in the Big East loves Ryan Theis’ ability to coach volleyball much more than I expected.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Big East released the results of the preseason poll of the league’s coaches in women’s volleyball. As expected, Creighton is the preseason favorite in the league. They have the preseason Player of the Year in outside hitter Norah Sis and three of the 12 women — a full one-quarter! — on the preseason all-conference team.
The surprise doesn’t kick in at second place, which is where YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles turn up.
