Lets predict the Big East basketball standing 2024-25

[Xavier]

If Freemantle and Hunter are healthy and as good as pre-injury, i honestly think X has the most complete roster.

I don’t know the rest of the BE enough to rank. Feel comfortable saying UConn/Creighton/X will be the top 3. I don’t think Shaka is a great coach, and refusing to do the transfer game will hurt. I think for the good of the BE, nova finishing towards the bottom is best case. They need a new coach. I always think how X has been 3-4 games away from Steele stlll being the coach.

When will X have the opening tipoff "Midnight Madness" scrimmage and meet the team?

[Mel Cooley XU'81]

Agree with others that its going to be a lot more packed together this year. Here's what I think off the cuff:

1. Creighton
2. X
3. UCONN
4. St. Johns
5. Providence
6. Marquette
7. Butler
8. Hall
9. Depaul
10. NOVA
11. Georgetown

XVille nails it.

I love all the confidence, but every year is a great big surprise for me these days.

Truth

Truth

Its "health" this year more than anything. I know that sort if goes without saying, but Free and the foot are simply huge for this team.

#2 is putting the pieces together with all the new players

[Xville]

I will say that hypothetically speaking if Free knock on wood gets injured, we are in much better shape than we were last year. It'd of course take X down a notch but it wouldn't be the dramatic drop off we had this past season.

I stand corrected:
