Connecticut is the preseason favorite to win the Big East, according to the annual coaches' poll released today. No surprise there. But none of the local teams - Rutgers, Seton Hall or St. John's - cracked the top 10 in this overcrowded 16-team conference that could have as many as nine NCAA Tournament representatives.
1. Connecticut (9) - 214 (Points)
2. Louisville (3)- 205
3. Pittsburgh (3) - 200
4. Notre Dame (1) - 195
5. Villanova - 153
6. Marquette - 146
7. Georgetown - 141
8. Syracuse - 139
9. West Virginia - 121
10. Providence - 99
11. Cincinnati - 91
12. Rutgers - 53
13. Seton Hall - 50
14. St. John's - 44
15. DePaul - 43
16. USF - 26
