Who is your school's Big East Rival?

[Jays 4 3]

I think the Jays most likely rivals are Xavier and Marquette, but Villanova could be as well if we continue to be competitive with them. I will say there are no rivalries with the absolute bad blood of Wichita and Southern Illinois in the Big East which is probably a good thing. Look forward to some rivalries with more respect than disdain.

My opinion about the X posters came to fruition long before this thread.

Oh snap, shots fired

Is he wearing a St. John's hat?

Always breaks my heart to see Ricky go down like that. Glad Doughboy got revenge.

You Jay fans are awfully nice and modest. As a Nova fan with long histories with the likes of Pitt, Cuse, etc, the polite discourse is disorienting.

Frankly, I've liked most Nova fans as well. While we got the best in the meetings this year, I think it is unfair if those losses keep Nova out of a one seed.

While one never knows what will happen over time, I don't know if Creighton will end up in a hate filled rivalry any time soon.

Well, this topic started out fun, then got derailed as most posts do with the Xavier hates Dayton theme. Oh well.

A quick summary of the highly scientific method employed in this post shows the #1 school on the rivalry list is Xavier, followed closely by Georgetown. Hall and Marquette were a distant third. Doesn't look like anyone wants to be Butler's rival. (Waaaaa.)

Quite a few responses were out of league rivals.
