@NJHoopsHaven: Greetings from Big East media day. Coaches Poll: 1-Marq, 2-GTown, 3-Creighton, 4-Nova; 5-SJU; 6-Prov; 7-Xavier; 8-SHU; 9-Butler; 10-DePaul

Looking at the actual vote tally, coaches seem to see the league in these groupings by vote score:

Top tier - Marq (74) & Hoyas (70)
2nd tier - Creighton (61), Nova (58), SJU (56)
3rd tier - Prov (41) & X (38)
4th tier - SHU (20), But (19)
Blue Demon tier - Depaul (13)

Also four teams (Marq, Gtown, SJU & Creighton) received at least 1 first place vote. These guys have no clue what to expect this season, the potential parity of this league is mind boggling!

From the Indy Star's Zak Keefer

"No #Butler players listed on pre-season All-Big East 1st, 2nd or honorable mention teams. Bulldogs predicted to finish 9th in coaches' poll."

"Enjoying this side conversation at Big East media that "is streaming" / being heard right below camera. Sounds like a coach and announcer."

"Ackerman says Big East sent 5 teams to the NCAAs and 'our sights are set just as high, if not higher this year'

I've watched BE media day last year and it has never been "made for TV". It's more for the print media and overall non TV press. Typically you would only see small video highlights from player interviews and coaches

"Maybe @FOXSports1 should have broadcast @bigeastconf #MediaDay online. Bad day for digital media dept. #BigEast"
