Providence Picked 4th in Coaches’ Poll
Today was Big East Media Day and the league’s coaches picked Providence to finish fourth in the upcoming season. Villanova, winners of the regular season title four years running, was chosen to finish first, followed by Seton Hall and Xavier.
Providence Seniors Kyron Cartwright and Rodney Bullock were both named Preseason 2nd Team All Big East.
News and Notes from Media Day:
The Next Four: There appears to be a consensus top four Big East teams heading into the season, but the next four become pretty murky.
Creighton was ranked fifth, with St. John’s (6), Marquette (7), and Butler (8) rounding out the top eight.
