UConn again is the pick to win the league, as the Big East looks to atone for putting only three teams into the 2024 NCAAs

Shaheen Holloway has made a good living thriving on others underestimating his teams and his coaching ability. The roster in South Orange, New Jersey, doesn't look intimidating, but how far should SHU fall a year after winning 25 games and taking the NIT championship? I'm uneasy slotting SHU at No. 8. Remember, the Hall was two spots from making last year's NCAAs, only to be boxed out by bid thieves. Kadary Richmond's departure to St. John's is a massive hit, without question, so the question morphs to: Who is the alpha now? Dylan Addae-Wusu(8.6 ppg, 5.3 rpg) is the most productive returnee. The roster changeover (Seton Hall lost approximately 75% of its minutes) means this is the most mysterious team in the conference. Truthfully, Holloway's track record is what is keeping SHU from 10th or 11th in our preseason forecast.
