Similar to Pittsburgh in my previous post, the Villanova Wildcats greatly disappointed, collecting only five Big East wins. With the departure of Maalik Wayns, their top scorer, the ‘Cats could be in trouble this coming season and are desperately in need of someone to break out.

TweetBig East Breakouts: Pittsburgh’s Dante Taylor
A lot of people, myself included, picked the Pittsburgh Panthers to win the Big East last season. Their 5-13 conference record showed that we were very misguided with this team.

The St. John’s Red Storm had an incredibly young class last year with seven freshman. Everyone will be back besides Moe Harkless and everyone will likely improve with a year under their belts.

The Louisville Cardinals made a shocking run to win the Big East tournament and make it to the Final Four. They look to be even better this year.
