I'm going to give a little love to the Big East. I just can't decide how this conference is going to go this year. Sometimes I think UCONN should be the front runner and sometimes I think Rutgers should be. The only reason that I might give UCONN the slight edge over Rutgers(with Mattee) is simply because RU is woeful on offense and it's only going to be worse with the graduation of Cappie.

UCONN finally, since Sue Bird left, has an actual PG who is an AA type. Renee Montgomery and how she plays will determine the success of this team. Charde Houston has all the potential in the world, it's just getting her head right.

I do know however that I love the DePaul backcourt of Quigley and Rubino, St. John's is going to make some noise, and WVU went to the BET final without Bulger......so things should be interesting in Morgantown.

One program that really needs to get it back together is Notre Dame. They are in danger of falling of the WCBB map.

I think that Uconn has a pretty good team this year. I'm looking forward to seeing what Tina Charles has. Renee is awesome.

UConn has more talent and size in the post than Rutgers.

I am 100% UConn, but DePaul is my second favorite Big east team!

I am a cuse fan(duh) so I don't have much experience rating good teams.

here is my list for the BE

1)uconn

2)rutgers
3)st johns
4)depaul
5)louisville/pitt/wv

UConn should be the best team by far. Rutgers has injury issues and Vaughn should come into her own but how is she going to deal with Hunter and Charles, especially if hunter is healthy. mel thomas is what she is take the good with the bad. Depaul will live and die by the three but they always seem to make more then they miss. I know WV will miss bulger but they also had a great recruiting class including a few very good juco kids so that should help lighten the losses.

the most important thing about the big east though is that syracuse will not finish last this year. Of course I don't know that for a fact but I hope not, but with the injury issues already popping up it could be a very long year.

Love ND but I must agree with you, they have done nothing to improve this team since their 01 Championship . That year they not only won it all but had the Coach and player of the year and yet it seems they want nothing more.

ND settled or should I say Coach McGraw settled for that one golden moment in time, a Championship and Coach of the Year.

I ask myself, is this all she wanted was ONE ???????? I believe McGraw has lost interest in the game. I understand at times there are let downs in life , one being the loss of her father and then an illness that sidelined her last year for a short time.

I however see it to be more than those things, she got her brass ring and now it's just not fun anymore for her.

I suggest she needs to take a long look at her Coaching and just what she wants out of it, if she has lost her passion for the game.............. Crying or Very sad

then step aside.

It hurt ND and her coaching staff big time with the loss of Assistants Owens and McGuff. Owens now head coach at her Alma Mater NIU was the central factor in getting Ruth Riley to ND and her development there.

McGuff is now head coach at Xavier and has landed top recruit Amber Harris of Indianapolis.

McGraw has some big guns coming in this season in Ashley Barlow and Melissa Lechlitner, so it will be interesting to see if she can turn it around at ND.

My hope is she can and also that she can get back the drive that led ND and her to the top of the class in 01.

Notre Dame is going to be screwed without Duffy unless they're adding a lot of incoming players. No one else on the court really seemed to care whether they won or lost by 50. They seemed bored, and there was zero post presence.

Losing LaVere doesn't help, either.
