We being our Big East preview at the conference’s basement. It sounds like a cool place to hang out, but this is the last place any teams want to be in their effort to stay afloat in the conference. St. John’s, Georgetown, and DePaul all reside in this preseason tier according to the 2020-21 coaches’ poll — these teams will likely be sitting at the bottom of the conference come season’s end.
