Garden State Patriot

Seven – count’em – seven Big East squads are in the Top 25 of the 2008-2009 USA Today/ESPN Pres-season Coaches Poll. Four schools are in the Top 10, including my alma mater, Pitt. It should an enormously competitive and successful year for the conference. Can’t wait!

2) UConn, 3) Louisville, 6) Pitt, 9) Notre Dame, 17) Marquette, 18) Georgetown, 25) Villanova

Self-indulgence will be allowed on my blog. After all, it is my blog! So, let me toot the horn of alma mater for being ranked 3rd in Rivals.com’s pre-season countdown. Hopefully, this will be the year my school finally makes it to the Final Four!
