In a year with no coaching changes, the Big East won’t be filled with stylistic surprises. The league’s coaches are settled in, none are on the hot seat (though a rough year for Georgetown could start a conversation in the nation’s capital), and from top to bottom, there are exciting young players entering the league.
The conference has whatever validation it needed nationally after sending five teams to the NCAA Tournament last season with Villanova winning the championship.
Creighton has a chance to move into the top echelon of the league, but Georgetown’s talent should trigger a bounceback.
