JTIII very high on Tre Campbell heading into the season

+

"Tre can have a presence at both ends of the court. He's fast. He's really, really fast. He has the ability to guard better than I thought to be honest. He's figured it out. He's gotten stronger. To hear him say it, he's gotten a lot stronger. He's going to have a presence defensively and he puts the ball in the basket. He's doing a good job of getting others involved. He's been very good."

Big East Soccer Tournament seeding scenarios

4

Georgetown (5-2-1, 16 points)

Final Match: at Villanova, Friday, 2pm ET

It sucks to be Georgetown. At 16 points, they could catch the team that's currently in first place. But because of the randomness of the schedule, if that first place team loses, it will vault a different team in front of the Hoyas. The best they can do with a win over the Wildcats is the #2 seed, regardless of how the Creighton-PC match goes. Even then, they still need a loss or draw by Xavier to get there. A draw means they'll need an Xavier loss to move to #3, otherwise it's fourth place for Georgetown, even with a loss.

SBNation.com ranks DSR the #48th best player in college basketball this season

D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera was one of the Big East's leading scorers at 17.6 ppg last season, but that was mostly out of necessity. With a talented group of newcomers entering the fold, John Thompson III will likely ask DSR to return to the facilitator role that he typically asks his stars to play.

John Thompson III isn't going to let another season like 2013-14 go down under his watch. Knocking off the Jayhawks at home in early December would be a great way to prove that to his fan base.

"I think he’s the first guy since Brandon Jennings, at least the first big name guy," Rabb said. "He’s a really highly recruited player and I think a lot of other big name guys will start doing that. I haven’t really thought about it much, though."

Big East Coast Bias analyzes the Hoyas Big East schedule

+

Georgetown and Villanova are two of the few remaining flag bearers from the old Big East Conference, and it's always a treat to see these two schools pitted against each other. Last year's contests went sour for the Hoyas, and this year, the Wildcats are the prohibitive favorite to win the Big East. They still have JayVaughn Pinkston, Ryan Arcidiacono, Josh Hart, Daniel Ochefu and more, alongside a stout recruiting class. With the Hoyas expected to bounce back this year, expect both matchups to be stellar, and for the Hoyas' sake, they will take at least one of them.

Big East Coast Bias is back with a longer look at the Hoyas 2014-2015 schedule.
