With 30 years under its belt, The BIG EAST Conference contin-ues on a path of success in and out of the athletic arena. The goals have always been the same. The league wants and expects to compete at the highest level and does so with integrity and sports-manship. The commendable performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are the indicators of the league’s proud tradi-tion of success. The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2009-10 academic year will mark the conference’s fifth straight with the same 16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-A conference. In 2008-09, BIG EAST student-athletes again succeeded on the national stage. The Connecticut women’s basketball team won its sixth national championship by defeating conference foe Louisville in an all-BIG EAST NCAA title game. The Notre Dame women’s soc-cer team reached the NCAA championship game and the Syracuse field hockey squad advanced to the NCAA Final Four. Three BIG EAST women’s cross country teams finished in the top 10 at the NCAA Championships. West Virginia was fourth followed by Villanova in sixth place and Georgetown in ninth. Individually in women’s sports, Providence’s Danette Doetzel won the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Connecticut’s Maya Moore was the conference’s sixth winner of the Wade Trophy as the top player in women’s bas-ketball. Notre Dame’s Kerri Hanks won the Hermann Trophy, the top award in women’s soccer. On the men’s side, Connecticut and Villanova advanced to the Final Four in basketball. The 2008-09 campaign was arguably the best men’s basketball season in the history of the BIG EAST with the league setting NCAA standards with three No. 1 tournament seeds, four teams in the round of the Elite Eight and five in the Sweet 16. The St. John’s men’s soccer team reached the NCAA College Cup before losing in the national semifinals. BIG EAST football has maintained its high profile and its reputa-tion as a balanced group. Seven of the league’s eight squads were nationally ranked or received votes in the national polls in 2008. Cincinnati was the league champion. The BIG EAST, a charter mem-ber of the Bowl Championship Series, has won three of its last four BCS bowl games. West Virginia, Louisville and Connecticut also have won or shared league crowns over the past four seasons.

The BIG EAST has continued to produce student-athletes who were at the forefront of athletic and academic achievement. In 2008-09, 19 BIG EAST players were chosen to their respective ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Teams, including eight first-team selections. Nearly 400 student-athletes have earned aca-demic all-America honors. The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A confer-ence in 2005-06 when five new members began competing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida. BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top 34 larg-est media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one fourth of all television households in the U.S.Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 26 national championships in six different sports and 126 student-athletes have won individual national titles.The BIG EAST has enjoyed tremendous basketball success, espe cially in this decade. In 2008-09, the BIG EAST produced four of the eight Final Four teams in men’s and women’s basketball. It was only the second time in NCAA history that one conference placed that many Final Four teams in the same season. In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. In men’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won three of the last 11 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken six of the last 10 NCAA titles. Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the con-ference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. In 2009-10, the BIG EAST will add men’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports, which will increase its total to 24 sport championships. The first women’s golf championship was held in the spring of 2003. Women’s lacrosse and rowing were added in 2001.

The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance. While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broadbased programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student-athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics. Any successful organization has been fortunate to have out-standing leadership. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Dave Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the forma-tion of The BIG EAST Football Conference. For 2009-10, the BIG EAST will undergo one significant change. Tranghese stepped down from his position on June 30, 2009. John Marinatto, who has served as senior associate commissioner, has

moved into the Commissioner’s chair. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding televi-sion. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST studentathletes. The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC. BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at cam-pus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past six years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball. More than 550 BIG EAST student-athletes have earned allAmer-ica recognition and dozens have won individual NCAA national championships. The BIG EAST has been wellrepresented in U.S. or foreign national and Olympic teams. Several athletes earned gold medals in each of the last six summer Olympiads. The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the con-ference administers to more than 5,500 athletes.

BIG EAST Bits

CONNECTICUT, VILLANOVA DROVE TO THE MOTOR CITY Connecticut and Villanova represented the BIG EAST in Detroit in the Final Four. UConn dropped an 82-73 decision to Michigan State in the semi-finals. The Huskies had won the West Regional by defeating Missouri 82-75. Villanova lost to North Carolina 83-69. The Wildcats took the East Regional crown by edging conference rival Pittsburgh 78-76. The last time the BIG EAST placed two teams in the Final Four was 1987 when Syracuse and Providence qualified.

HARANGODY RETURNS, COULD SET BIG EAST RECORDSNotre Dame forward Luke Harangody tested the NBA Draft waters in the spring, but decided to return for his senior season with the Fighting Irish. Besides the obvious boost his return provides to coach Mike Brey’s team, Harangody has a chance to put his name atop some all-time BIG EAST lists. Going into 2009-10, Harangody has scored 1,036 points and grabbed 540 rebounds in BIG EAST games in his three seasons. If he would average 20.6 points and 9.0 rebounds over an 18-game league schedule, he will become the league’s all-time leader in both categories. Syracuse’s Lawrence Moten (1991-95) is the all-time BIG EAST scorer with 1,405 points. Syracuse’s Derrick Coleman (1986-90) is first in rebounds with 701. Harangody is already the first player in league history to lead the BIG EAST in scoring and rebounding more than once, accomplishing the feat in the last two seasons. Last year, he was an All-BIG EAST First Team selection. As a sophomore, he was the BIG EAST Player of the Year.

BIG EAST COACH AND PLAYERS FOUND SUMMER SUCCESS ABROADTwo USA Basketball teams that won medals this summer received some big contributions from the BIG EAST. Pitt’s Jamie Dixon coached the U19 Team to its first gold medal in 18 years. The team, which included Panther guard Ashton Gibbs who averaged 9.8 points, finished with a 9-0 record in New Zealand and compiled a 22.2-point margin of victory. The USA World University Games Team took the bronze medal at its championship, which was held in Serbia. Marquette’s Lazar Hayward scored 14 points in the bronze medal victory over Israel. West Virginia’s Da’Sean Butler added 13 points. They were joined on the team by Villanova’s Corey Fisher. All three players started at least three of the seven games and they all averaged between 9.3 and 8.6 points per game.

BIG EAST AND THE FINAL FOURThe BIG EAST has won three of the last 11 national championships. Connecticut took home the NCAA crown in 1999 and 2004. Syracuse won it in 2003. Before they began competing in the BIG EAST in 2005-06, Louisville made the 2005 Final Four and Marquette appeared in 2003. Georgetown competed in the 2007 Final Four. A BIG EAST team has made the Final Four 15 times in 30 years of competition. A BIG EAST team has played in the national title game 10 times. The conference’s NCAA cham-pions are: Georgetown (1984), Villanova (‘85), Connecticut (‘99 & ‘04) and Syracuse (‘03).

NBA DRAFT TAKES NINE FROM BIG EASTThe first 14 selections of the NBA Draft are considered Lottery Picks. The BIG EAST led all conferences in the NBA Draft with players chosen in that group. In all, nine BIG EAST stars were taken in the two-round draft on June 25. Connecticut’s Hasheem Thabeet was taken second overall by the Memphis Grizzlies. Jonny Flynn of Syracuse went sixth to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Louisville forward tandem of Terrence Williams and Earl Clark were taken 11th and 14th respectively, by the New Jersey Nets and the Phoenix Suns. Five players went in the second round: Villanova’s Dante Cunningham (33rd by Portland), Georgetown’s DaJuan Summers (35th by Detroit), Pittsburgh’s Sam Young (36th by Memphis), Pittsburgh’s DeJuan Blair (37th by San Antonio) and Connecticut’s A.J. Price (52nd by Indiana). The total of nine draftees is the league’s second highest total since the NBA Draft was reduced to two rounds in 1988. In 2006, 11 BIG EAST players were select-ed.

BIG EAST FINISHED WITH A 17-7 NCAA MARKOn the strength of a record five teams in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Championship, the BIG EAST finished with a 17-7 NCAA mark, which includ-ed Villanova’s two-point win over Pittsburgh in the East Regional final. In 2008, the league’s final NCAA record was 11-8. The 2009 success marked the third time in the 30-year history of the BIG EAST that the conference has won more than 12 NCAA games. In 1984-85, when Georgetown, St. John’s and Villanova advanced to the Final Four, the BIG EAST was 18-5 in NCAA play, which included two games that had BIG EAST teams facing each other. In 1986-87, when Providence and Syracuse made the Final Four, the NCAA tourney record was 14-5. That mark also included two games that matched BIG EAST teams.


BIG EAST BitsELEVEN FROM BIG EAST MAKE PRESEASON WOODEN AWARD LISTThe 2009-10 preseason candi-dates for the John Wooden Award All-American Team and Player of the Year trophy is a list of 50 players. Eleven are from the BIG EAST, the most of any confer-ence. The BIG EAST candidates are: Cincinnati’s Deonta Vaughn, Connecticut’s Jerome Dyson and Kemba Walker; Georgetown’s Greg Monroe, Louisville’s Samardo Samuels, Notre Dame’s Luke Harangody, Seton Hall’s Jeremy Hazell, Villanova’s Corey Fisher and Scottie Reynolds and West Virginia’s Da’Sean Butler and Devin Ebanks.

LOUISVILLE WON BIG EAST REGULAR SEASON AND TOURNEY CROWNThe Louisville Cardinals won the BIG EAST regular-season title outright with a 16-2 record and followed that by winning The BIG EAST Championship at Madison Square Garden in New York. Louisville was picked second in the BIG EAST Preseason Coaches’ Poll. As the top seed at the conference tour-nament, Louisville knocked off No. 8 seed Providence 73-55 in the quarter-finals, No. 4 Villanova 69-55 in the semifinals and No. 6 Syracuse 76-66 in the title game.

SYRACUSE AND CONNECTICUT PLAYED AN EPIC CONTEST IN NEW YORKSyracuse, the sixth seed in The BIG EAST Championship, met third-seeded Connecticut March 12 in a quarterfinal game that became an instant col-lege basketball classic. The two teams battled through six overtimes before the Orange prevailed 127-117. Only one Division I game has gone longer. Cincinnati and Bradley played seven extra periods in 1981. Not surpris-ingly, some of the statistics from the SU-UConn game are mindboggling. For Syracuse, guard Jonny Flynn posted 34 points, 11 assists and six steals, while playing 67 of a possible 70 minutes. For UConn, guard A.J. Price produced 33 points and 10 assists. Connecticut held the rebounding edge 76-67. The Huskies attempted 106 shots from the floor, while the Orange had 103 tries.

BIG EAST EARNED THREE NO. 1 SEEDSFor the first time in the history of the NCAA Championship, one conference earned three No. 1 seeds. Louisville was the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Regional. Pittsburgh was the top seed in the East Regional. Connecticut was No. 1 in the West Regional.

VILLANOVA’S WRIGHT JOINS BIG EAST FINAL FOUR COACHES’ CLUBVillanova’s Jay Wright became the sixth current BIG EAST head coach to participate in a Final Four. Connecticut’s Jim Calhoun made his third trip. Calhoun’s previous visits were in 2004 and 1999. Louisville’s Rick Pitino is the only coach in NCAA history to lead three different teams to the Final Four: Providence (1987), Kentucky (1997, ‘96, ‘93) and Louisville (2005). Jim Boeheim has been to the Final Four three times with Syracuse (2003, ‘96, ‘87). West Virginia’s Bob Huggins guided Cincinnati to the 1992 Final Four. Georgetown’s John Thompson III led the Hoyas to the Final Four in 2007.

THE OTHER BIG EAST TEAMS WERE ON LINES THREE AND SIXA total of seven BIG EAST teams received NCAA invitations. In addition to the three No. 1 seeds, two squads were No. 3 seeds and two were No. 6. Villanova was the third seed in the East Regional with Syracuse occupying the No. 3 spot in the South Regional. The No. 6 seeds were West Virginia in the Midwest Regional and Marquette in the West.

BIG EAST MAINTAINED ITS ELITE EIGHT STREAKThe BIG EAST is the only conference to place at least one team in every NCAA Elite Eight since 2002. Six different squads -- Louisville (2009, ‘08), Georgetown (‘07, ‘06), Villanova (‘09, ‘06), West Virginia (‘05), Connecticut (‘09, ‘04, ‘02), Syracuse (‘03) and Pittsburgh (‘09) -- have accomplished the feat.

BIG EAST HAD A RECORD NUMBER OF TEAMS IN REGIONAL SEMIFINALS AND ELITE EIGHTThe BIG EAST placed a record five teams in the NCAA round of Sweet 16 and a record four in the Elite Eight. The five in the Sweet 16 were: Connecticut, Villanova, Pittsburgh, Louisville and Syracuse. All but Syracuse advanced to the regional finals.

BIG EAST LIKES THE WESTConnecticut was the No. 1 seed in the 2009 West Regional and followed its previous patterns by reaching the Final Four. Both times the Huskies won the national championship, in 2004 and 1999, they were West Regional champions. In fact, seven BIG EAST teams in the 30-year history of the league have reached the Final Four by going through the West Regional. The others were: Syracuse in 1996, Seton Hall in 1989, St. John’s in 1984 and Georgetown in 1982.

LOUISVILLE FINISHED ON TOP AND NO. 1 GOING INTO THE POSTSEASONIn a season that many college basketball observers felt was the BIG EAST’s best campaign, it was Louisville that won the regular-season and postseason crowns. The Cardinals also entered NCAA play ranked No. 1 in the country in the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today polls.

PITTSBURGH HAS THE LONGEST BIG EAST NCAA STREAKThe longest current streak of NCAA tourney bids among BIG EAST teams belongs to Pittsburgh. The Panthers have been to the last eight NCAA Championships.

VILLANOVA IS A SWEET 16 REGULARVillanova is one of only two teams nationally to make four appearances in the NCAA Regional Semifinals over the past five years. The other is North Carolina.

Harangody Earns Preseason Player of the Year Honors Again For the second straight season, Notre Dame’s Luke Harangody was named BIG EAST Preseason Player of the Year by a vote of the league’s head coaches. He is only the second player in the history of the BIG EAST to earn Preseason Player of the Year honors more than once. Georgetown’s Patrick Ewing was honored three times (1982-83, 1983-84 and 1984-85). Cincinnati freshman guard Lance Stephenson was named BIG EAST Preseason Rookie of the Year. Coaches were not permitted to vote for their own players. Harangody, a 6-8 senior forward, was an All-BIG EAST First Team selection last season. He led the BIG EAST in scoring last year in all games with a 23.3 average. Harangody was second in rebounding at 11.8. In league games, the native of Schererville, Ind., was first in both categories, averaging 25.2 points and 12.8 boards. It was the second straight season he was first in points and rebounds in league play. He is the first player in the history of the BIG EAST to lead the league in both categories more than once. Two seasons ago, Harangody was named BIG EAST Player of the Year. Going into 2009-10, he has the opportunity to become the league’s all-time scorer and rebounder in BIG EAST play. He has scored 1,036 points and grabbed 540 rebounds in his first three seasons of conference competition. If he averages 20.6 points and 9.0 rebounds over an 18-game league schedule, he will become the BIG EAST’s all-time leader in both categories. The five-member Preseason All-BIG EAST Team includes last year’s BIG EAST Rookie of the Year and four seniors. Georgetown sophomore center Greg Monroe averaged 12.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 steals en route to rookie honors last season. Forwards Lazar Hayward of Marquette and Da’Sean Butler of West Virginia have been consistent performers. The 6-6 Hayward averaged 16.3 points and a team-leading 8.6 rebounds last year for the Golden Eagles. The 6-7 Butler was the Mountaineers’ top scorer and rebounder, averaging 17.1 points and 5.9 boards. Villanova’s Scottie Reynolds and Cincinnati’s Deonta Vaughn are expected to be their respective teams’ backcourt anchors. Reynolds averaged 15.2 points and 3.4 assists in a Wildcat season that did not end until the NCAA Final Four. Vaughn has been the key cog in the rise of the Bearcats’ program. Vaughn has led UC in scoring in each of his three seasons. Last year, his scoring mark was 15.3 points and he averaged a team-high 4.7 assists. Six players were named to the Preseason All-BIG EAST Second Team due to a tie in the voting. Connecticut placed two guards, senior Jerome Dyson and sophomore Kemba Walker, on the squad. A pair of junior shooting guards, Jeremy Hazell of Seton Hall and Dominique Jones of USF, were chosen by the coaches along with sophomore forwards Samardo Samuels of Louisville and Devin Ebanks of West Virginia. Connecticut forward Stanley Robinson and Syracuse center Arinze Onuaku, a pair of seniors, received Preseason All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention recognition. Stephenson, a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., enjoyed a prolific prep career. He was the Class AA New York State Player of the Year as a senior and scored a state record 2,946 career points.

2009-10 Preseason Predictions


Previewing The 2009-10 Season

Villanova Edges West Virginia In Preseason Poll Villanova has been picked as the favorite to win the 2009-10 BIG EAST regular-season crown in the BIG EAST Preseason Coaches’ Poll. The Wildcats, who advanced to the NCAA Final Four last year, finished just ahead of West Virginia. Villanova received 10 first-place votes and 218 points in the poll. The Mountaineers picked up five first-place votes and 215 points. Villanova is the coaches’ top choice for the first time since the 2005-06 poll, which was the first season that the BIG EAST included 16 teams. The Wildcats boast a deep back-court led by senior Scottie Reynolds. West Virginia’s No. 2 position this year is the highest in the preseason poll for the Mountaineers since they began competing in BIG EAST bas-ketball in 1995-96. WVU has four starters returning from a club that finished 23-12 last season. Connecticut, the third-place pick with 185 points, received the other first-place selection. The Huskies joined Villanova at the Final Four last year and finished 31-5. Louisville, the defending regular-season and league tournament champion, was a close fourth, earning 179 points. The Cardinals have advanced the NCAA Elite Eight in each of the past two sea-sons. Georgetown was the fifth-place selection with 161 points followed by Syracuse in sixth place with 152 points. The Hoyas, who stumbled in league play last year with a 7-11 mark, can build around sophomore center Greg Monroe, the 2008-09 BIG EAST Rookie of the Year. Syracuse was 28-10 last year and 11-7 in conference play. The Orange have posted 12 straight 20-win seasons. The conference head coaches feel Cincinnati is capable of moving up in the standings. They placed the Bearcats, who were 8-10 in league play each of the past two sea-sons, seventh with 135 points, just ahead of Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish, who had 132 points in the poll, want to improve on last year’s 8-10 league mark. Pittsburgh is ninth with 119 points with Seton Hall placing 10th at 110 points. The Panthers will aim to maintain their contending role despite losing four starters from last year’s 31-5 team. Seton Hall, 17-15 a year ago and 7-11 in the BIG EAST, welcomes back sharpshooting guard Jeremy Hazell and three other starters. St. John’s, which returns its top eight players from last sea-son, picked up 82 points in the poll, which was good for 11th place. Marquette, which lost four starters from last year’s 25-10 squad, was 12th at 78 points. The coaches feel Providence will finish 13th followed by USF, Rutgers and DePaul.

2009-10 Preseason Coaches’ Poll

All 16 Teams Will Come To New York The BIG EAST will send all 16 of its teams to New York for The BIG EAST Championship for the second straight year in 2010.

The four winners will battle the teams seeded fifth through eighth on Wednesday, March 10. The tournament’s top four seeds await Wednesday’s win-ners in the quarterfinal round on Thursday. The semifinal round is Friday, March 12. The Saturday night championship game, a fixture on the New York sports calendar, begins at 9 p.m. ET. BIG EAST history says it is important to earn a bye into the quarterfinals. Syracuse and Pittsburgh are the only teams to have won BIG EAST tournament titles by earning four victories.

2010 BIG EAST Championship2010 BIG EAST Championship The 2010 BIG EAST Championship will be played at Madison Square Garden in New York City March 9-13. It will be the 28th straight year in which the Garden has hosted the championship event, making it the longest-running conference tourna-ment at one venue in the country. The tournament will include all 16 BIG EAST teams for the second consecutive year. Seeding for the five-day event will be based on regular-season finish. The top four seeds will receive byes through two rounds of tournament play, while the Nos. 5-8 seeds will get first-round byes. The winner of The BIG EAST Championship earns the league’s automatic bid to the 65-team NCAA Championship field. Last year’s tournament saw Louisville capture its first BIG EAST crown as the Cardinals lived up to their billing as the tournament’s No. 1 seed. The Cardinals knocked off, in order, Providence (73-55), Villanova (69-55) and Syracuse (76-66) on their way to the title. The final saw Louisville end one of the most memorable BIG EAST Championships with an impressive win against an inspired Syracuse club. As they had done in a semifinal win against Villanova, the Cardinals erased an eight-point halftime lead against the Orange, thanks to 61-percent shooting in the second half. Six Cardinal players scored in double figures as center Samardo Samuels had a team-high 15 points. Earl Clark had 13 points and 10 rebounds. Syracuse saw its bid for another magical run in the tournament come up short, despite the efforts of Dave Gavitt Trophy winner Jonny Flynn. Flynn was the key player in a historic, six-overtime win against Connecticut in the quarterfinals and he helped Syracuse to another overtime win against West Virginia in the semifinal round.

the Big Picture:The Bearcats’ improvement contin-ued last season, which was coach Mick Cronin’s third year directing the program. UC finished 18-14 overall and 8-10 in the BIG EAST. The team lost only one regular starter from that squad and returns all-conference guard Deonta Vaughn. Cronin’s ability to re-stock the roster has led many to believe that the UC rise will continue. The Bearcats have been a gritty defensive group under Cronin, but an improvement on the offensive end is desired.

Who’s Back: Guard Deonta Vaughn returns for his senior season after averaging a team-leading 15.3 points and 4.7 as-sists last year. He has been the club’s top 3-point threat throughout his ca-reer and likely will finish among the BIG EAST’s all-time career leaders in 3-pointers. The Bearcats return more than 76 percent of their offensive output. Rugged forward Yancy Gates earned BIG EAST All-Rookie Team honors after posting averages of 10.6 points and a team-high 6.1 boards. Junior forward Rashad Bishop aver-aged 5.4 points and 4.0 rebounds in 29 starts. Other returnees in the frontcourt include senior center Steve Toyloy (3.9, 3.8) and junior Anthony McClain (2,4, 1.8). Guard Larry Davis made 25 starts while scoring at a 6.8 clip. Guard Dion Dixon was the top scorer off the bench, averaging 7.3 points.

Who’s Missing: Mike Williams averaged 9.8 points and 5.7 rebounds, mostly as the start-ing small forward. Swingman Alvin Mitchell averaged 6.4 points while playing 18.3 minutes per game.

storylines: In addition to the abundance of re-turning players, the Bearcats expect some immediate contributions from a few newcomers. Heralded 6-5 freshman Lance Stephenson may help convince Cronin to go with a three-guard lineup. Last season, Cashmere Wright was expected to make a run to start at point guard as a freshman, but he missed the entire season with a knee injury. The back-court figures to be even deeper with freshmen Sean Kilpatrick and Jaquon Parker pushing to make the regular rotation. Junior Ibrahima Thomas, a 6-11, 230-pound transfer from Okla-homa State, figures to see immediate playing time near the basket.

the Big Picture:The Huskies made their third trip to the NCAA Final Four last season mainly on the broad shoulders of center Hasheem Thabeet who was the BIG EAST Co-Player of the Year and the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year. Seniors A.J. Price and Jeff Adrien also made critical contribu-tions. All three have departed, but no one should expect a significant dropoff for 2009-10. Coach Jim Cal-houn has a pair of returning starters and other experienced hands who appear ready to accept larger roles.

Who’s Back: Guard Jerome Dyson started at shooting guard until a foot injury put him on the shelf for the stretch drive and all of the postseason. An excel-lent offensive player who also gets it done defensively, Dyson averaged 13.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists. Sophomore Kemba Walker is expecting to replace Price at point guard. Walker made the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team after averaging 8.9 points and playing 25 minutes per game. Forward Stanley Robinson did not play until December of last season but ended up starting 24 of 28 games. An explosive athlete, he averaged 8.5 points and 5.9 boards mostly at the small forward. Se-nior Gavin Edwards may step into Thabeet’s spot in the middle. Ed-wards averaged 3.8 points and 3.0 rebounds as a reserve. Edwards will try to hold off senior Jonathan Man-deldove and junior Charles Okwandu who have seen limited action.

Who’s Missing: It’s hard not to overestimate the loss of Thabeet. A two-time BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year, he is the league’s all-time blocked shot leader. Last season, he averaged 13.6 points, 10.8 rebounds and 4.2 blocks. Price, who was the MVP of the NCAA West Regional, averaged 14.7 points and 4.7 assists for the year. Adrien averaged 13.6 points and 9.9 rebounds. He was fourth in the league in rebounding, right be-hind Thabeet. Guard Craig Austrie, a dependable four-year performer, av-eraged 7.2 points and offered strong defense.

storylines: Expect the backcourt to be strong again with Dyson and Walker. Junior Donnell Beverly is an experienced backup. Robinson may be ready to emerge as a league standout at small forward. A pair of freshmen, 6-9 Alex Oriakhi and 6-7 Jamal Coombs-McDaniel, will compete for an open forward position. Six-ten newcomer Ater Majok, who will become eligible at the end of the fall semester, fig-ures to contribute immediately in the frontcourt. The Huskies want to maintain their top-notch defensive identity. Last season in BIG EAST games, UConn was first in scoring defense (62.1 percent), field goal de-fense (37.6) and blocked shots (8.2).

the Big Picture:The Blue Demons could not get a win during the BIG EAST regular season last year, but they beat Cincinnati in the first round of The BIG EAST Championship. Coach Jerry Wain-wright certainly does not want to wait that long for his first league win in 2009-10. DePaul welcomes back a pair of double-figure scorers, center Mac Koshwal and guard Will Walker, to work on improving last year’s 9-24 record.

Who’s Back: Koshwal enjoyed a very productive sophomore season in 2008-09. He averaged 12.2 points and 9.6 re-bounds. Koshwal is the second top returning rebounder in the BIG EAST. Will Walker, a senior with plenty of experience, averaged 14.6 points and led the squad with 71 3-point baskets. Six-nine forward Devin Hill averaged 3.1 points and 3.2 boards while earning 17 minutes per game as a rookie. Six-eleven Krys Faber (1.8, 1.9) appeared in 28 games as a freshman. Seven-two Keni Obi and six-seven Mario Stula saw limited action in the frontcourt. At guard, Jeremiah Kelly (4.3) and Michael Bi-zoukas (2.0) saw some starting duty as freshmen.

Who’s Missing: Guard Dar Tucker, the Blue Demons’ leading scorer with an 18.5 average, decided to pursue professional inter-ests after only two seasons with the program. Guard Jabari Currie was a part-time starter throughout his four-year career and averaged 5.3 points last season. Forward Matija Poscic started 21 games and averaged 3.5 points and 3.7 rebounds.

storylines: Wainwright still will have a young club on the floor this season. He may pair Eric Wallace, a 6-6 sopho-more transfer from Ohio State, with Koshwal in the frontcourt. Another newcomer who could crack the start-ing lineup is Mike Stovall, a 6-5 junior college transfer who can play on the wing. Kelly may emerge as a starter in the backcourt with Walker. Faber and Hill likely will see their playing time increase, though both may still come off the bench.

the Big Picture: Last season, a five-game losing streak in the middle of a very difficult stretch in January, helped contribute to an uneven finish for the Hoyas. The result was a 16-15 record and a trip to the NIT. Three starters return for coach John Thompson III who wants his club to return to its accus-tomed role of BIG EAST contender. Center Greg Monroe, the BIG EAST Rookie of the Year, will work with an experienced backcourt of Austin Freeman and Chris Wright, a pair of juniors, to help the Hoyas bounce back. All three were double-figure scorers last season.

Who’s Back: As a freshman, Monroe showed to be one of the nation’s most versatile centers. He averaged 12.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 steals while becoming the sixth Hoya to take BIG EAST Rookie of the Year honors. Wright was the quarterback of the offense, averaging 12.5 points and 3.7 assists. The sturdy Freeman averaged 11.4 points and 4.2 re-bounds. Guard Jason Clark helped off the bench with a 5.2 scoring mark. Six-eight Nikita Mescheriakov started nine games at forward and averaged 2.7 points and 1.5 rebounds. He is a good perimeter shooting threat. Other backcourt returnees are sopho-more Henry Sims (1.9, 1.7) and ju-nior Julian Vaughn (1.8, 1.7).

Who’s Missing: Forward DaJuan Summers, the team’s top scorer with a 13.6 average, left a year early and was an NBA Draft second-round choice. Guard Jessie Sapp averaged 6.5 points and was a team captain.

storylines: Monroe and a solid backcourt is a good nucleus for coach Thompson who will be able to look at a few different combinations at forward between the returnees and some newcomers. Six-eight freshman Hollis Thompson, who enrolled last semester and has already practiced with the team, will press hard to crack the regular rotation in the frontcourt. Another frontcourt candidate, 6-7 freshman Jerrelle Benimon, may be more of a power forward possibility. Freshman Ryan Dougherty and Vee Sanford are guard hopefuls.

the Big Picture:Last season, when the BIG EAST en-joyed arguably its strongest season ever, it was Louisville that won the regular-season and league tourna-ment crowns. The Cardinals also earned their first Associated Press No. 1 ranking and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight for the second straight sea-son. The starting forwards, Terrence Williams and Earl Clark, were 2009 NBA draft picks, but coach Rich Pitino still has eight returning lettermen and five newcomers to keep UofL among the nation’s top teams.

Who’s Back:Seniors Jerry Smith and Edgar Sosa likely will be the starting backcourt. Smith averaged 7.8 points and was sixth in the BIG EAST in 3-point shooting, hitting at a 41.2 percent clip. Sosa averaged 7.3 points and made significant strides defensively and with his ballhandling. The guard corps is deeper with junior Pres-ton Knowles (6.1), senior Reginald Delk and sophomore Kyle Kuric. Knowles, a strong 3-point shooter and a staunch defender, has been used in a sixth-man role. Closer to the basket, sophomore forward Sa-mardo Samuels earned All-BIG EAST Rookie Team honors after averaging 11.8 points and 4.9 rebounds. Ter-rence Jennings averaged 4.2 points and 2.9 boards as a reserve rookie forward. Jason Swopshire (1.4, 1.1) played in every game as a freshman. Classmate George Goode (1.4, 1.3) was slowed by a stress fracture.

Who’s Missing:The forward tandem of Williams and Clark will be missed. Williams was an all-around contributor who aver-aged 12.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.3 steals. He was an All-BIG EAST First Team selection. Clark led the Cardinals in scoring (14.2) and rebounding (8.7). Steady guard Andre McGee (5.3) will be missed for his defense and leadership.

storylines:The Cardinals still have plenty of tal-ent on hand to contend in 2009-10. The veteran backcourt of Smith, Sosa and Knowles provides the Cardinals with an experienced base. Samuels could be joined up front in the start-ing lineup by Jennings which would make a formidable sophomore duo. Goode could emerge as a top reserve in the low post. Swopshire will con-tend for increased playing time at either forward position. Delk and Kuric will push for more minutes on the wing. The newcomers who could press the hardest to be in the regular rotation are guard Peyton Siva and forward Rakeem Buckles.

the Big Picture:The Golden Eagles return only one starter from a team that finished 25-10 overall and 12-6 in the BIG EAST. Senior forward Lazar Hayward is the lone returning regular. He will have to be the veteran force on a squad that will need some immedi-ate contributions from newcomers. Buzz Williams begins his second year as head coach.

Who’s Back: Hayward is a battle-tested BIG EAST performer. Last year, he was third on the team in scoring with a 16.3 aver-age, was tops in rebounding at 8.6 and fourth in the league in free throw percentage, making 82 percent. Hayward, who played on the USA Basketball’s World University Team this summer, is the BIG EAST’s fifth leading scorer among returning play-ers and the third leading rebounder. Junior forward Jimmy Butler was a valuable reserve who averaged 5.6 points and 3.9 boards. Butler and Hayward are the only returnees who played more than 10 minutes per game last season. Maurice Acker av-eraged only 2.8 points, but was the starter at point guard late in the sea-son when Dominic James went down with a foot injury.

Who’s Missing: The contributions of the three-guard group of Jerel McNeal, James and Wesley Matthews are almost stag-gering. They led MU to four NCAA bids, 94 victories and four winning records in BIG EAST play. They all finished among the school’s top eight all-time scorers with McNeal first with 1,985 points. He also was first with 287 steals. The team also will miss frontcourt starter Dwight Burke (2.8, 3.7) who patrolled the paint and was a strong physical presence.

storylines: Coach Williams has assembled a highly-rated recruiting class. At least a couple of those newcomers will have to be able to contribute right away. Other than senior David Cu-billan, who has seen reserve duty throughout his career, the backcourt will be new. Six-three Dwight Buycks and 6-1 Darius Johnson Odom have both earned first-team junior col-lege all-American honors. Freshman Junior Cadougan was expected to make a strong push for playing time at point guard, but likely miss the season due to a knee injury, while Jeronne Maymon will be a wing can-didate. In the frontcourt, junior Joe Fulce and sophomore Chris Otule re-turn. Williams’ freshman choices up front include 7-2 Youssoupha Mbao and 6-7 Erik Williams.

the Big Picture:Luke Harangody’s decision to return for his senior season makes it a lot easier to project that the Irish could post their fourth straight 20-win sea-son in 2009-10. The 6-8 forward was BIG EAST Player of the Year as a sophomore and an All-BIG EAST First Team pick last season. Three senior starters have departed, but a pair of transfers are expected to lighten the losses for coach Mike Brey’s 10th Notre Dame squad.

Who’s Back: Harangody led the BIG EAST in scor-ing last season in all games with a 23.3 average. He was second in rebounding at 11.8. Harangody, who posted 25 double-doubles, is the first player in the history of the league to lead the conference in scor-ing and rebounding (league games only) more than once. Point guard Tory Jackson averaged 10.6 points and 4.9 assists as a junior. Class-mate Jonathan Peoples averaged 3.2 points as a guard backup, playing 14 minutes per game. Forward Tyrone Nash came off the bench to average 3.0 points and 3.6 boards in 11 min-utes per game.

Who’s Missing: The Irish lost three starters, including a pair of strong perimeter shooters, guard Kyle McAlarney and forward Ryan Ayers. McAlarney averaged 15.0 points and led the BIG EAST with 124 3-point baskets. Ayers averaged 11.1 points and shot 42.9 percent from beyond the arc. ND led the league in 3-point shooting, mak-ing39.8percent.ForwardZachHille-sland averaged 4.6 points and 4.9 rebounds. ForwardLukeZellerwasthe team’s sixth man and averaged 4.9 points and 2.8 boards.

storylines: Harangody will be the team’s anchor again. He has a good chance, bar-ring injury, to become the BIG EAST’s all-time scorer. Jackson will be in his third season as a full-time starter at point guard. Guard Ben Hansbrough, a transfer from Mississippi State, may fit in the shooting guard posi-tion. He was a double-figure scorer two seasons ago and made the SEC All-Freshman Team in 2006-07. Six-eight Scott Martin was going to figure immediately in the starting lineup, but he tore an ACL snd is out for the year. A transfer from Purdue, he aver-aged 8.5 points and 3.8 rebounds in 2007-08. Nash and Peoples will try to earn increased playing time.

the Big Picture:The Panthers are coming off a 31-5 season that included a first-ever No. 1 national ranking. Their 2008-09 campaign ended with a loss at the buzzer to Villanova in the NCAA Elite Eight. The Panthers are the only BIG EAST team to appear in the last eight NCAA Championships and the only league squad to win 20 games over-all and 10 league contests in each of the last eight seasons.

Who’s Back: Senior guard Jermaine Dixon (8.4) is the only returning starter, though the backcourt still has experience with ju-nior Brad Wanamaker (5.8) and soph-omore Ashton Gibbs (4.3), who led the league in 3-point shooting (43.9 percent). Dixon is also considered a very strong defender. Junior swing-man Gilbert Brown (5.4, 3.1) was a top reserve who has some starting experience, though he will be out until December because of academic reasons. Junior center Gary McGee and sophomore forward Nasir Robin-son saw limited duty last year.

Who’s Missing: The Panther losses are significant. Four starters have departed, includ-ing BIG EAST Co-Player of the Year DeJuan Blair, first team All-BIG EAST forward Sam Young, rugged point guard Levance Fields and forward Tyrell Biggs. Young was fourth in the BIG EAST in scoring with a 19.2 average. Blair averaged 15.7 points and a league-leading 12.3 rebounds. Fields averaged 10.7 points and led the league with a 7.5 assist mark. Biggs averaged 6.4 points and 4.3 boards.

storylines: Usually a team that depends on ex-perienced players to achieve high-level success, the Panthers will be much younger this season. The scor-ing likely will be more balanced than in the recent past. The backcourt figures to be solid again with Dixon, Wanamaker, Gibbs and redshirt fresh-man Travon Woodall. Brown, when he returns, will be the anchor in the frontcourt at either forward spot. The newcomers should get long looks – swingman Lamar Patterson, forward Dante Taylor, who made the USA Basketball U-19 Team, and forwards J.J.RichardsonandTalibZanna.Red-shirt freshman Dwight Miller also will be in the mix at forward.

the Big Picture:Last year it was a new coach for the Friars. This year, it will be a lot of new players. PC finished 19-14 last sea-son overall, 10-8 in the BIG EAST, and made the NIT under first-year coach Keno Davis. It was PC’s first winning record in the league since 2003-04. Davis has only three returning schol-arship players so he will depend on a group of newcomers that includes one junior college transfer, two red-shirts and five incoming freshmen.

Who’s Back: Point guard Sharaud Curry returns for his senior season. Last year, he averaged 11.7 points and 4.2 assists after missing the previous year with a knee injury. He led the BIG EAST in free throw shooting, making 84.5 percent. With so many new faces on the team, Curry’s leadership will be critical. The backcourt also returns junior Marshon Brooks and senior Brian McKenzie. Brooks averaged 10.6 points in a sixth-man role and McKenzie averaged 4.6 points in seven starts.

Who’s Missing: Three starters have departed. Guard Weyinmi Efejuku led the squad with a 15.7 scoring average. Guard Jeff Xavier averaged 9.3 points in PC’s three-guard offense. Forward Jona-than Kale averaged 10.1 points and 6.0 rebounds. Forward Geoff Mc-Dermott was a four-year contributor who averaged 8.2 points, 8.5 boards and 3.0 assists last season. Center Randall Hanke was a top reserve who averaged 8.0 points and was second in the league in field goal shooting, hitting at a 65.3 percent clip.

storylines: With Curry, Brooks and McKenzie, the Friars can put an experienced back-court on the floor. Immediate help is needed in the frontcourt. Six-six Jamine Peterson and 6-8 Bilal Dixon were redshirts last season and will be prime contenders to start at power forward and in the middle. Peterson saw limited duty two seasons ago. Russ Permenter, a 6-9 junior college transfer, should have plenty of op-portunities to contribute along with a pair of freshmen, 6-9 James Still and 6-8 Kadeem Batts. Junior col-lege transfer Kyle Wright and three freshmen -- Vincent Council, Johnnie Lacy, and Duke Mondy – will battle the veterans for minutes in the back-court.

the Big Picture:Coach Fred Hill continues to build his RU program. Last year, he added two quality freshmen performers. For 2009-10, he welcomes two more ex-perienced players who will be count-ed on to push the Scarlet Knights up-ward in the BIG EAST standings.

Who’s Back: Guard Mike Rosario was one of the nation’s top freshmen last year. The 6-3 guard was the BIG EAST’s top rookie scorer with a 16.2 aver-age. He was also the team’s primary 3-point threat with 76 baskets from beyond the arc. The next highest total on the team was 25. Rosario also finished second in the league in free throw shooting, making 83.9 percent. Forward Gregory Echenique was a productive freshman contribu-tor, averaging 8.4 points and 8.4 rebounds. His 2.4 blocked shot av-erage was second in the BIG EAST. Center Hamady Ndiaye averaged 5.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks. Guard Mike Coburn, a junior, made nine starts and averaged 4.0 points.

Who’s Missing: The Scarlet Knights will miss the steady hand of point guard Anthony Farmer who averaged 9.1 points last season and was a 1,000-point scorer for his career. Forward JR Inman av-eraged 4.9 points and 4.8 points and was a four-year contributor. Guard Earl Pettis made 20 starts and aver-aged 4.6 points. Guard Corey Chan-dler was a part time starter who aver-aged 7.0 points.

storylines: Rutgers will welcome forward Jona-than Mitchell, a transfer from Florida. The 6-7 junior offers all-around skills and should contribute immediately. James Beatty, a heralded junior col-lege transfer, figures to get a long look at the starting point guard spot. The Scarlet Knights often played a three-guard lineup last season. Oth-er newcomers fighting to be noticed are guards Mike Kuhn and Muhamed Hasani, forward Austin Johnson and center Brian Okam. Sophomore forward Patrick Jackson may see in-creased playing time after appearing in 16 games last season.

the Big Picture:With a roster loaded with sopho-mores, the Red Storm finished 16-18 overall last season and 6-12 in the BIG EAST. In addition to the expected maturation of a squad that returns its top eight players from a year ago, the team should get a boost with the return of senior Anthony Mason, Jr. The big guard missed all but three games last season with a foot injury. Two seasons ago, he led the Red Storm in scoring (14.0).

Who’s Back: Just about anyone who contributed anything last season is back. Guard Paris Horne was one of the league’s most improved players last year and finished the season with a team-lead-ing 14.6 scoring average. Swingman D.J. Kennedy averaged 13.0 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists. Ju-nior point guard Malik Boothe, who averaged 6.4 points and 4.4 assists, took over starting duty last year. Up front, forward Sean Evans, like Horne, made significant improvement and averaged 10.3 points and 7.1 re-bounds. Forward Justin Burrell aver-aged 9.0 points and 4.5 boards in his second year as a starter. Mason, Jr. has already proven to be a quality BIG EAST performer on the perimeter. Forwards Rob Thomas and Dele Cok-er will return in backup roles along with guard Quincy Roberts.

Who’s Missing: None of the players lost from last year’s squad averaged more than 1.7 points per game.

storylines: No team in the BIG EAST welcomes back as many top contributors as the Red Storm. The return of Anthony Mason, Jr. will give the experienced Red Storm a more explosive offen-sive attack. He will move back into the starting lineup and make St. John’s stronger on the perimeter. Coach Norm Roberts has his eyes on a move up in the league standings and a postseason tournament berth.

the Big Picture:The Pirates welcome four starters back from last year’s team that fin-ished 17-15 overall and 7-11 in the BIG EAST. With a pair of quality transfers and some promising new-comers, the Hall should be able to claim depth as an asset for the first time in 2009-10, Bobby Gonzalez’s fourth season at the helm.

Who’s Back: Guard Jeremy Hazell has become one of the BIG EAST’s top scorers. The 6-5 junior earned All-BIG EAST Third Team honors and finished second in the league in scoring with a 22.7 average. His total of 105 3-point-ers was second in the league. Point guard Eugene Harvey returns for his senior season after averaging 12.5 points and 4.9 assists. He has started every game in his college career. Lanky forward Robert Mitchell aver-aged 14.6 points and a team-leading 8.0 rebounds. Senior center John Garcia averaged 8.0 points and 7.0 rebounds while connecting on 60.6 percent from the field. Guard Jordan Theodore, who averaged 5.9 points, also offers defensive expertise.

Who’s Missing: Senior guard Paul Gause was one of the BIG EAST’s top thieves throughout his career. His 2.7 steal average last season was first in the league. He is the only starter who is not back.

storylines: For the first time in his tenure at the Hall, Gonzalez may face some hard decisions on a starting lineup. Ha-zell, Mitchell and Harvey are estab-lished BIG EAST players. Transfers Herb Pope and Keon Lawrence figure to contribute immediately. Pope is a 6-8 junior forward who owns all-around skills. Lawrence is a 6-2 ju-nior guard, who may play mostly at shooting guard, but can help right away. It’s possible that Mitchell may come off the bench in a sixth-man role. The Pirates often employ a three-guard lineup. Forward Jeff Robinson and center Melvyn Oliver, a pair of freshmen, may not crack the starting lineup this year, but both will push to be included in the frontcourt rotation.

the Big Picture:There is no doubt that coach Stan Heath has upgraded the talent at USF in his first two seasons. Another strong recruiting class for 2009-10 means the Bulls’ improvement should continue, but Heath wants that im-provement to translate into more than four BIG EAST victories, which was USF’s total last season. The Bulls can build around guard Dominique Jones, who is one of the conference’s top players. Only one full-time start-er was lost from last year.

Who’s Back: Jones easily led the team in scor-ing last year with an 18.1 average. The junior is also a top-notch 3-point threat. He reached double figures in scoring in the last 20 games of the season. Jones also was first in rebounding (5.6), second in assists (3.9) and led the league in minutes played per game (37.5). Forward Augustus Gilchrist is another return-ing double-figure scorer. He aver-aged 10.2 points and 4.4 boards as a freshman after becoming eligible at the end of the first semester. Steady senior Chris Howard returns at point guard after averaging 7.7 points and 4.1 assists. Forward Alex Rivas, another senior, made 14 starts last year and averaged 4.2 points and 4.7 rebounds though he is sidelined because of leg injury. Guard Justin Leemow (1.6) started eight games last season as a freshman.

Who’s Missing: Guard Jesus Verdejo averaged 12.2 points and was a solid contributor. The following three forwards started either 11 or 12 games last season. Mobolaji Ajayi averaged 3.7 points and 4.7 boards. Aris Williams aver-aged 2.9 points and 3.4 rebounds. Eladio Espinosa averaged 1.8 points and 2.9 rebounds.

storylines: As the program grows in talent, Heath may have to fiddle less with his starting lineup. Jones and How-ard make up an effective starting backcourt with Leemow as a backup. The guard corps will be even deeper with the addition of Anthony Crater, an Ohio State transfer who will be eli-gible at the end of the first semester, and freshmen Jordan Dumars, Mike Burwell and Shaun Noriega. Also, guard Mike Mercer is back from a team suspension. Six-eleven junior college transfer Jarrid Famous is the most acclaimed of the newcomers. He will team with Gilchrist in the frontcourt. Rivas will return to help in the low post after recovering from his surgery. Six-eight freshman Toarlyn Fitzpatrick will push to be noticed in the frontcourt.

the Big Picture:The Orange routinely produce 20-win seasons, but it should be noted that last year’s 28-10 mark was the high-est victory total since SU’s national championship season of 2002-03. Also included in the campaign was the program’s 15th trip to the NCAA regional semifinals and a win in the epic six-overtime game against Con-necticut in the quarterfinal round of The BIG EAST Championship. Coach Jim Boeheim has to deal with the loss of the team’s top three scorers, but he has plenty of talent on hand again to maintain SU’s national profile.

Who’s Back: Senior guard Andy Rautins averaged 10.5 points and shot 36.6 percent from 3-point range. He made only 10 starts, but played 28.7 minutes per game. Sophomore Scoop Jar-dine, a point guard, was redshirted last year. Two seasons ago, he cut his teeth as a freshman, starting 10 games and averaging 5.5 points. Around the basket, the physically imposing duo of Arinze Onuaku and Rick Jackson returns. Onuaku aver-aged 10.3 points and 7.3 rebounds while Jackson averaged 8.3 points and 5.8 boards. Onuaku’s 66.7 per-cent shooting from the floor was first in the BIG EAST. Jackson’s shooting figure of 62.3 percent was fourth. Sophomore forward Kris Joseph (3.4, 2.4) also is available after playing more than 13 minutes per game last year.

Who’s Missing: Dynamic point guard Jonny Flynn took off for the NBA after two sea-sons. Last year, he led the team with a 17.4 scoring average. His assist mark of 6.7 was second in the BIG EAST. Flynn won the Dave Gavitt Trophy as the Most Outstanding Player in The BIG EAST Champion-ship though SU lost in the title game. Guard Eric Devendorf, an outstand-ing offensive player, averaged 15.7 points. Rugged forward Paul Harris averaged 12.0 points and a team-leading 8.1 rebounds.

storylines: The SU success should continue in 2009-10. Rautins will share back-court minutes with Jardine and fresh-man Brandon Triche. Jardine and Triche are primarily point guards. Triche is expected to make a strong bid to be the starter. Junior forward Wesley Johnson, who sat out last season after transferring from Iowa State, is expected to start. He is a “traditional” athletic Syracuse wing player who has great scoring ability. Two seasons ago, he averaged 12.4 points at Iowa State. Onuaku and Jackson should continue to provide a physical presence in the low post. Freshmen DaShonte Riley and James Southerland figure to play backup roles in the frontcourt.

the Big Picture:The Wildcats’ 2008-09 season end-ed at the Final Four in Detroit. Vil-lanova’s 30-8 campaign set a school record for victories. VU lost two full-time starters and one part-time starter to graduation, but the team is bringing in a recruiting class that many observers feel is the best in school history. Jay Wright, the 2009 BIG EAST Coach of the Year, will look to senior Scottie Reynolds for lead-ership, backcourt depth should be a strength.

Who’s Back: Reynolds tested the NBA Draft waters, but decided to return for his senior season. Already immortalized by VU fans for his game-winning basket in the NCAA East Regional final against Pittsburgh, Reynolds averaged 15.2 points and 3.4 assists for the season. Down the stretch last year, Reggie Redding was a starter with Reynolds. A defensive stopper and heady per-former, Redding averaged 7.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists. He will not be available until the end of the first semester, however, because of a violation of university policy. Corey Fisher and Corey Stokes, a pair of junior guards, also have starting ex-perience. Fisher was BIG EAST Sixth Man of the Year after averaging 10.8 points. Stokes averaged 9.3 points. Both players averaged just less than 25 minutes per game. Junior Antonio Pena returns as the Wildcats’ primary low-post presence. He averaged 5.1 points and 4.2 rebounds while mak-ing 19 starts.

Who’s Missing: Forward Dante Cunningham helped spearhead VU’s run to the Final Four by leading the team in scoring (16.1) and rebounding (7.5). He was the BIG EAST’s Most Improved Player. Forward Dwayne Anderson was the “glue guy” that every successful team needs. His 9.0 scoring average be-lied his value to the team. Forward Shane Clark (5.6, 3.9) also was a de-pendable contributor.

storylines: In addition to a heralded recruit-ing class, the Wildcats welcome 6-6 forward Taylor King, a transfer from Duke who is expected to contribute immediately in the scoring and re-bounding columns. Six-seven Isaiah Armwood also will compete for some of the open minutes at forward. Six-eleven Maurice Sutton redshirted last year as a freshman. He is ex-pected to push Pena in the middle along with 6-9 freshman Mouphtaou Yarou. Despite the returning depth in the backcourt, expect freshman Maalik Wayns to find a way to earn some immediate playing time. Six-six guard Dominic Cheek also is ex-pected to push hard to see some ac-tion as a rookie.

the Big Picture:The Mountaineers are coming off their second NCAA appearance in as many seasons under coach Bob Huggins. With four starters returning for 2009-10, WVU expects the post-season streak to continue. In two years with Huggins at the helm, the Mountaineers have won 49 games overall and compiled a 21-15 BIG EAST record.

Who’s Back: Senior forward Da’Sean Butler leads a group of four returning starters. He averaged a team-leading 17.1 points and 5.9 rebounds last season and spent part of the summer play-ing on the USA World University Games Team. Forward Devin Ebanks made the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team last year after averaging 10.5 points and a team-high 7.8 boards. Senior Wellington Smith (5.2, 3.8) is the other returning starter in the front-court, though reserves Kevin Jones (6.3, 4.9) and John Flowers (4.3, 3.3) played nearly as much. Junior Cam Thoroughman also will be in the mix in the frontcourt. At point guard, Dar-ryl Bryant (9.8) became the starter as a freshman after Joe Mazzulla went down with a shoulder injury after seven games. Both will battle for playing time.

Who’s Missing: Shooting guard Alex Ruoff averaged 15.7 points and was the team’s pri-mary 3-point threat. The only start-er who is not coming back, he was named the outstanding BIG EAST Basketball Scholar-Athlete and won the BIG EAST Sportsmanship Award.

storylines: The Mountaineers appear very solid and should be even stronger at point guard with Bryant and Mazzulla avail-able. Junior college transfer Casey Mitchell, the National Junior College Player of the Year, is expected to fill Ruoff’s spot. He has been an expert shooter. The frontcourt is already deep, but freshmen Danny Jennings and Deniz Kilicli make it stronger. They will push the incumbents if only because of their size. Jennings is 6-8, 265. Kilicli is 6-9, 260. Guard Dalton Pepper will contend for some of Ruoff’s minutes at shooting guard and could play some at small for-ward.

West Virginia in the BIG EAST

Did You Know ...The Mountaineers have posted four straight winning records in BIG EAST play, their longest streak since joining the league for basketball in 1995-96.


BIG EAST Conference

John Marinatto became the third commissioner of the BIG EAST Conference July 1, 2009. He was the unanimous choice of the conference’s chancellors and presidents, who announced his appointment in November 2008. Marinatto follows Michael Tranghese, who had served as BIG EAST Commissioner since 1990, and Dave Gavitt, who served from 1979-1990, as the overseer of the largest Division I athletics conference. Marinatto will continue to create the best possible climate for BIG EAST student-athletes to succeed academically and athletically through sportsmanship and ethical con-duct. Marinatto brings a deep-rooted familiarity with the BIG EAST into his new role as commissioner. He had served as the conference’s senior associ-ate commissioner since 2002 and spent 14 years as Director of Athletics at Providence College. His wide and varied experience on conference and national committees adds to his expertise. As the league’s senior associate commissioner, Marinatto had been the league’s Chief Operating Officer. He oversaw all administrative operations including NCAA governance, compliance communications, television and championships. Marinatto also served as the conference’s treasurer. Marinatto played a critical role in the creation and development of the stra-tegic plan to reconfigure the BIG EAST into its current 16-member consortium. He has served on committees which have negotiated lucrative contracts with television partners CBS Sports and ESPN, Inc. in football and basketball and with marketing partner ISP Sports. Marinatto has represented the BIG EAST on NCAA committees, includ-ing the prestigious Management Council and Leadership Council, the Bowl Championship Series and the Collegiate Commissioners Association. During the BIG EAST’s term as the lead administrator of the BCS in 2002-04, Marinatto served as the group’s Chief Financial and Business Officer. Marinatto’s connection to the founders of the BIG EAST dates to his under-graduate days at Providence College, when he served as a manager for a Friar basketball program that was coached by Gavitt and had Tranghese as its sports information director. After graduating from Providence in 1979 with a degree in business management, he served his alma mater as Associate Director of Alumni/Development. He also served as Director of Sports Promotions and Director of Sports Information before moving into the athletic director’s chair in 1987, shortly after the men’s basketball team competed in the NCAA Final Four. During his tenure as athletic director, Marinatto served as the BIG EAST Athletic Directors’ Executive Committee Chairman for four years, was the chair of the BIG EAST Finance Committee and the chair of the Conference Strategic Planning Committee. He also served on the BIG EAST Championships and Competition Committee. Marinatto’s experience on NCAA committees began while he was at Providence. He was an NCAA Business and Finance Cabinet Member from 1993-95. Providence hosted numerous NCAA championship events under Marinatto’s watch, including the 2000 Men’s Frozen Four, the 2003 Women’s Basketball East Regional and the 1996 Men’s Basketball First and Second Rounds. Friar sports teams enjoyed significant success during Marinatto’s tenure of leadership, including the women’s cross country team, which won the NCAA Championship in 1995. Marinatto was born and raised in Providence, R.I.
