Disregarded your post after seeing CU excluded from your top 3, much less your top 5. Also Nova 4th? WTF???

I'm loving the high hopes many of you have for Marquette this year. Sadly, I don't think we finish in the top-5 in the Big East. I worry that we don't have enough height/size with our squad, and have too many guards to compete with the bigger, physical teams this year. Behind Fisher, we only have Heldt, and no other player is taller than 6'7. That having been said, I do love our depth at the guard position, and I love the addition of Reinhardt. If Fisher gets into foul trouble, which he did often last year, we are in big trouble.

My bold prediction? At least one Big East head coach will leave for another job after the season.

Well, if you're going to predict that, may it be your coach and not ours.

How can you see anybody finishing above Villanova?

The title asked for bold prediction. Picking Villanova, with their recent success, is not bold.

Another prediction: This board in their preseason predictions will overrate Xavier and Creighton and underrate Providence.
