Behold, the Big East preseason coaches' poll
The Dagger — Want to know what doesn't matter? (Or, in the case of college football, shouldn't matter?) Coaches' polls. Want to know what matters even less? Preseason coaches polls. And yet fans can't help but write about and discuss their favorite team's placement in their conference's unimportant preseason coaches' poll. These are grist for the preseason churn, and that's it. ...

Preseason Conference Media/Coaches Polls
Ballin' is a Habit — It was recently announced that free-agent journalist Troy Machir (aka The Trizzle) will coming on board as a full-time writer for the '09-'10 college basketball season. Talks began as early as last June, but they soon fizzled as B.I.A.H could not meet the monetary demands of the highly-touted free-agent. Machir's new deal is for no less than one 12-pack a week during non-conference play, with an incentive-based deal for a guaranteed 30-pack per week from the beginning of conference play till the end of March Madness. Machir will provide B.I.A.H with a huge boost of hilarity, and is one of the foremost experts on college mascots and nicknames. He was also the ...

The Tar Heels will have less than 24 hours to turn around and beat a team that looked nothing like the squad that was picked to finish six the Big East when it rolled over an injury-riddled Cal team.

But combine the Orange’s hot streak, power play inside and (maybe?) depth on the bench with UNC’s turnover woes and lack of killer instinct and you’ve got a game that could see the ...

'Dore Posts — After a fantastic victory over Saint Mary's, Vanderbilt landed in the Aloha State to take part in the Maui Invitational. With Maryland waiting in the semifinal and Gonzaga/Arizona likely in the final, the Commodores first have to get through Cincinnati. In a deep Big East conference, Cincinnati was picked 7th in the preseason coaches poll. Beyond that, many experts consider the Bearcats a darkhorse pick to win the conference. As of now, they have no national respect, not receiving any votes in the AP or Coaches polls. The buzz however is that growing, especially with the addition of highly touted/controversial recruit Lance ...
