As I See It

[shu09]

Helping out Dan again this week...

1. Connecticut 17-2 (7-1)
Cling Kong is back for by far the best team in the league. Only question right now is, are they as good as last year? Better? Worse?

2. Creighton 14-5 (5-3)
Split a difficult road trip at UConn/SH. Should continue to hit their stride with the next three games in the friendly confines of Omaha.

3. Marquette 13-5 (4-3)
Tried to give it away at St. John's, but the Red Storm refused to take it. Bounced back nicely this week after two previous losses.

4. Seton Hall 13-6 (6-2)
SJU's hex on this side of the river continues as they were blasted by the Pirates, who then lost the game of the year to Creighton in 3OT. Bench production still a question, but this team continues on the upswing.

5. Villanova 11-7 (4-3)
Not entirely sure what to make of them. Lost a pair this week but played fairly well vs. UConn. This team remains a PITA to play against.

6. St. John's 12-7 (4-4)
Tough times for Slick Rick as they have lost three straight after a 4-1 start. Have to think they'll play desperate against Nova on Wednesday.

7. Xavier 10-8 (4-3)
Nearly got caught sleeping by Georgetown. Road trips to Creighton and UConn this week will tell us if they've really improved or not.

8. Providence 12-6 (3-4)
Annihilated DePaul and now has a week off to rest prior to visiting Seton Hall this Wednesday night.

9. Butler 11-7 (3-5)
Picked up a gimme win vs. DePaul but still seems to be trending down and/or holding towards the bottom of the pack.

10. Georgetown 8-10 (1-6)
Nearly popped Xavier on the road. Cooley heads back to Providence this weekend.

11. DePaul 3-15 (0-7)
No hope.

Thank you for this last time.

Back (poor choice of words) in action.



1. Connecticut 17-2 (7-1)
Not even anything to debate.

2. Creighton 14-5 (5-3)
Clearly this spot is between Creighton and Marquette. I'll go with the fighting McDermotts.

3. Marquette 13-5 (4-3)
Something seems to be missing this year.

4. Seton Hall 13-6 (6-2)
They belong.

5. Villanova 11-7 (4-3)
No feel for this team.

6. St. John's 12-7 (4-4)
Injuries are killing the Storm. Might be a year away.

7. Xavier 10-8 (4-3)
Getting better as the year continues.

8. Providence 12-6 (3-4)
Starting to get used to playing without Hopkins.

9. Butler 11-7 (3-5)
This has always been the level I expected.

10. Georgetown 8-10 (1-6)
The Coolies are starting to hit their stride. They're gonna get someone sleepwalking.

11. DePaul 3-15 (0-7)
You can add Jordan and Lebron and it might not matter.
