Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

So what is the predicted top 5 for Volleyball. I would see the following teams in order

1) Creighton
2) Marquette
3) Xavier

4) Butler
5) St. Johns
6) Seton Hall


7) Villanova
8) DePaul
9) Georgetown

Creighton Marquette and Xavier are a cut above with Butler, St. Johns and Seton Hall fighting it out to make the play-offs.

Creighton #25 in the preseason volleyball poll. Unfortunately, the only Big East team to get any votes.

2013 Preseason Top 25 Coaches Poll is out, Creighton in at #25.

Former conference mates Wichita St is in at #24, and Northern Iowa received votes. Since Creighton did so well in an apparently tougher conference, I'd wager that Creighton will be the Big East volleyball champion this year.

The MVC is a much better league than the Big East. Providence is so bad they won't even let them play in league and some of the eastern teams aren't much better. The danger for Creighton and Marquette is struggle in Volleyball if we don't add a Dayton or Wichita State to strengthen the league.

Well i was going to say that #19 Louisville should be the pick for the BE crown but i guess even though the AAC isn't sponsoring volleyball Louisville isn't in the BE for this sport. I'm curious if they just chose to go independent 1 year or if the BE chose not to let AAC schools in for volleyball.

I figured since the AAC schools merged in for Field Hockey it would be the same for the other sports guess i was wrong.

Since i have no rooting interest left i'll throw my support for the Bluejays for clear favs.

The AAC is sponsoring volleyball.

well your right... i have no clue what i was thinking. I obviously need more fiber in my diet.

oh well looks like all i got left in the BE is field hockey, looks like i'm soo disinterested in the AAC i'm subliminally willing the cards out of it.

So is the league going to do a preseason poll? It appears we are one of the few leagues without one.

yeah they pretty much agree with the above except they more have Butler grouped with the Bottom 4 instead of part of a middle 3. I think Butler will be better than that but we shall see. Right now they are hurt with 2 outsides injured out of their top 8. Should be back by league.
