7 Big East Teams in Rothstein’s Top 45
- Thread starter CL82
- Start date
That seems like a fair analysist.
I see SHU anywhere between 3 and 7 this season.

Knowing Rothstein I'm surpised there aren't at least 60 teams in his top 45.
SHU is going to finish from # 2 to # 4.
We are gonna win it. Bet snaketom agrees with me.
All are too high nationally.
Creighton clear favorite but Villanova, Xavier, Seton Hall, UCONN are all very tightly bunched together behind them.
call me crazy, but we’re a better team than Nova this year.
Sure Whitmore may be a stud, but I’ll take a 5th year Ndefo on that defensive matchup all day.

Quite possibly better than Villanova this year.
But why would Ndefo be covering Whitmore, Whitmore is more of a 2-guard, wing forward?
Dont forget Nova has 3 players returning who started in a final 4 (Daniels, Dixon and Slater). And 5 other players who have been in the program led by Longino who was starting break out before the injury. Whitmore is a lotto pick and Mark Armstrong will make an immediate impact.
The pieces are there. If Jay was still coaching, I would laugh at this post hard. But, its uo to Kyle..that is the unknown. I am optimistic though.
Agreed. Let's put Whitemore aside, even though he is a projected lottery pick right now.
One can reasonably argue that Daniels, Dixon and Slater would be the 3 best players on our team.
With Neptune, who knows.
I like Rothstein as he doesn't overrate the Big Ten like many other analysts. No Big Ten in the top 10 and just 6 teams in the top 45. Make the Big ten earn their respect.
Not only losing Jay but losing Gillespie who has been the starting PG for 4 years and 2-time BE POY. Armstrong is promising but he has huge shoes to fill.
Huge shoes. And most unsettled they’ve been at the PG slot in a while because they went from Arch to Brunson to Gillespie, who were all great college players (throw Booth in there too who could certainly play the lead guard role).
I do think the Daniels, Dixon and Slater trio is very good. Daniels can be one of the better scorers in the league. I think Dixon will be one of the better interior offensive players. And Slater one of the best all around Swiss Army knife guys. Add the talent of Whitmore on top of that plus other talented kids who didn’t emerge last year save for that young guard at the end. Neptune has a lot to work with.

Lol. We pick our team apart ad nauseum for 12. months. Nothing wrong with discussing other BE schools
Will be very interesting to see what happens at nova over the next 3-5 years. Big Picture I think nova will be fine - they’ve been making final fours since the 70s. The brand is too big to fail….but I’m not confident kyle Neptune is the answer.
