As expected, Nova topped the preseason Big East coaches poll, garnering eight of ten first-place votes. Seton Hall and Xavier followed the Cats in second and third respectively, each garnering a first-place vote.
Rounding things out were Providence, Creighton, St. John's, Marquette, Butler, Georgetown, and DePaul.
Meanwhile, the Cats picked up some individual accolades as well. Jalen Brunson was named preseason POY. Omari Spellman was named preseason Freshman of the Year. And Mikal Bridges was named to the preseason Big East All-Conference Second Team. Well deserved recognition for three players Nova Nation is exited to watch this season. However, is it just me, or is Donte DiVincenzo being slept on?
