2016-17 BIG EAST Media Guide [ 1 ]

The BIG EAST Conference The BIG EAST Conference moves forward in 2016-17, the fourth year of its current consortium of 10 outstanding and revered academic institutions. Founded by Dave Gavitt in 1979, the BIG EAST reorganized in 2013 and entered a new era by returning to its basketball-centric heritage. The league’s 10 member schools— Butler University, Creighton University, DePaul University, Georgetown University, Marquette University, Providence College, St. John’s University, Seton Hall University, Villanova University, and Xavier University—embrace a constant commitment to academic integrity, athletic excellence and community service.

Val Ackerman, who previously served as founding President of the WNBA, President of USA Basketball and U.S. representative to the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), was named fifth Commissioner of the BIG EAST in conjunction with the conference’s 2013 reconfiguration. Under her leadership, the BIG EAST has maintained its reputation for top-level achievement in athletics and has continued to be influential on the national intercollegiate landscape, with many conference and school administrators currently serving on key NCAA committees.

Since its inception in 1979, the BIG EAST has been lauded as a leader in innovative concepts in promotion, particularly television, and that reputation continues with the conference’s relationship with FOX Sports. The BIG EAST has a fruitful multi-year partnership with FOX Sports and its national cable network FS1. FOX’s comprehensive coverage of BIG

[ 2 ] 2016-17 BIG EAST Media Guide

EAST men’s basketball includes the broadcast of all regular season games on FOX, FS1, FS2 or FOX Regional Networks, as well as the BIG EAST Tournament at Madison Square Garden, college basketball’s longest-running postseason basketball conference tourney held at the same venue. The BIG EAST and FOX also have established an annual five-game marathon in men’s basketball with all 10 teams competing on the same day in league competition.

BIG EAST institutions are located in seven of the nation’s 35 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Indianapolis, Milwaukee and Cincinnati.

FOX Sports platforms carry complete coverage of women’s basketball regular-season play and the BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Tournament. Every Olympic sport championship is also carried on the network or digital platforms.

The BIG EAST has also increased the visibility of its member school programs with the expansion of the BIG EAST Digital Network (BEDN). When the conference launched BEDN in 2014-15, the league became the first collegiate conference to be hosted on the FOX Sports mobile platform, FOX Sports Go, the app that provides live streaming of FOX Sports content. BEDN will carry 225 live events in 2016-17, with an emphasis on women’s basketball, soccer and Olympic sport regular season and championship events.

The BIG EAST Conference became a reality in May of 1979 through the vision of Gavitt, the former Providence College men’s basketball coach and athletic director. Providence, St. John’s, Georgetown, Syracuse, Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College formed the original seven-school alliance, and within the span of just a few years the conference had become a national powerhouse in men’s basketball. While the composition of the BIG EAST evolved over the next three decades, the focus of its schools did not waver, reflecting a tradition of broad-based programs led by administrators and coaches who emphasize academic strength and fair play.

In December of 2012, the seven BIG EAST schools that do not compete in FBS football— DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, St. John’s, Seton Hall and Villanova— announced their intention to separate from the conference’s football-playing schools and form an independent association. On March 20, 2013, the seven schools reached an agreement that enabled them to retain the BIG EAST name and assume the old conference’s longterm pact with Madison Square Garden to host the BIG EAST Men’s Basketball Tournament, one of the premier events in college athletics.

The schools also announced the addition of three distinguished institutions sharing the same academic and athletic values—Butler, Creighton and Xavier—and forged a landmark, long-term broadcast partnership with FOX

The BIG EAST Scholar-Athlete of the Year The BIG EAST Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year award is one of a number of scholarships presented by the BIG EAST Conference during the academic year. The conference names a winner in men’s and women’s basketball each year. The winners are chosen by the BIG EAST Academic Affairs Committee.

Sports. The BIG EAST moved its headquarters from its original location in Providence, R.I., to midtown Manhattan in New York City to complete the transformation. The BIG EAST’s new era officially began on July 1, 2013, its effective date as the NCAA’s 32nd Division I conference.

To complement its athletic successes, the conference launched BIG EAST Serves in 2014 to align the academic, health, leadership and service missions of the 10 member institutions. Initiatives housed under the BIG EAST Serves umbrella, such as BIG EAST Serves Day, the BIG EAST Career Consortium and the national partnership with the It’s On Us campaign against campus sexual assaults, reflect the conference’s commitment to developing the complete BIG EAST student-athlete and making a positive contribution to the campus communities of its member schools and conference’s headquarters in New York.

In the fall of 2015, the BIG EAST hosted its inaugural Freshmen Fundamentals, a unique program designed to assist men’s basketball student-athletes in the transition from high school to college and the elite level of BIG EAST basketball.

BIG EAST institutions boast high graduation rates for their student-athletes, and the league has always been able to say that many of its best athletes are also its best

students. Ryan Arcidiacono, the starting guard for Villanova’s national champion men’s basketball team and the Most Outstanding Player at the 2016 Final Four, also was one of five finalists for the 2015-16 Senior CLASS Award in his sport for excellence in classroom, community, character and competition. DePaul women’s tennis standout Rebeca Mitrea was a conference nominee for NCAA Woman of the Year, an award that honors academic achievements, athletic excellence, community service and leadership. On the court, Mitrea is DePaul’s all-time leader in wins with 117.

She competed in the doubles of the 2016 NCAA Tennis Championship. Mitrea also was honored with the Arthur Ashe Leadership and Sportsmanship Award from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA).

The conference, which crowns champions in 22 sports, had league teams earn a total of 24 NCAA berths and 42 individual NCAA invitations in 2015-16. Seven different national postseason championships saw multiple BIG EAST teams participate, including five teams in men’s basketball and three in women’s basketball. BIG EAST schools produced 12 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, including six in soccer (four male, two female).

Current BIG EAST men’s basketball programs have enjoyed extraordinary success over the years. Villanova won the 2016 NCAA

Championship, its second in school history.

Georgetown and Marquette also have won the national title. DePaul, Providence, St. John’s and Seton Hall have made it to the Final Four.

The BIG EAST placed three men’s basketball teams in the Final Four in 1985—Georgetown, St. John’s and Villanova—the only time this has occurred in NCAA history. Over the past 13 years, Butler, Georgetown, Marquette and Villanova have reached the Final Four, with Butler and Villanova making two trips. Xavier has advanced to the Elite Eight twice and the Sweet 16 four other times.

BIG EAST student-athletes have achieved recent success in other sports, as well. A BIG EAST team has won the NCAA women’s cross country championship four of the last seven years (Villanova won twice; Providence and Georgetown once), with one runner-up finish (Providence). Creighton’s men’s soccer team has reached the NCAA College Cup in two of the past four seasons, with the Providence men advancing to the semifinals in 2014.

In the 37 years since the original league opened its doors, BIG EAST teams have won 39 national championships in eight different sports with 144 student-athletes winning individual national titles in the league’s history.

Since 2013, the BIG EAST has produced eight national champions.

BIG EAST CONFERENCE COMMISSIONER

Val Ackerman

VAL ACKERMAN was named the fifth Commissioner of the Big East Conference on June 26, 2013. She was the founding President of the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) and a past President of USA Basketball, which oversees the U.S. men’s and women’s Olympic basketball program. She has had a long and accomplished career in the sports industry and is one of the few sports executives who has held leadership positions in both men’s and women’s sports at the collegiate, professional, national team and international levels.

Val currently serves as chair of the Division I subdivision for the NCAA Collegiate Commissioners Association and is a member of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee. She was recognized by Forbes magazine in 2015 as one of the Most Powerful People in College Sports and one of the Most Powerful Women in Sports, and by Adweek magazine in 2016 as one of the Most Powerful Women in Sports.

Val attended the University of Virginia as one of the school’s first female studentathlete scholarship recipients. She was a fouryear starter, three-time captain and two-time Academic All-American for the Cavaliers’ women’s basketball team and the first 1,000-point scorer in the program’s history. She graduated with high distinction with a degree in political and social thought in 1981 and played one year of professional basketball in France before earning a law degree from UCLA in 1985. [ 4 ] 2016-17 BIG EAST Media Guide

Val started her legal career as a corporate and banking associate at the New York law firm of Simpson Thacher and Bartlett and joined the National Basketball Association as a staff attorney in 1988. She was as an executive at the NBA for eight years, serving as Special Assistant to NBA Commissioner David Stern and Director (and later) Vice President of Business Affairs before being named the WNBA’s first President in 1996. She guided the league to a much-heralded launch in 1997 and headed its day-to-day operations for its first eight seasons.

In 2005, Val was elected President of USA Basketball for the 2005-08 term, leading the organization to an overall competitive record of 222-23 and gold medal performances by the U.S. men’s and women’s basketball teams at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. She was one of the NBA’s original appointees to the USA Basketball Board of Directors in 1989 and served as an organizational liaison with USAB during the early years of NBA participation in FIBA competitions, including the 1992 and 1996 Olympics and 1994 World Championships. A USA Basketball Board member for 23 years, Val played a key role in the long-standing success of the U.S. women’s national basketball team program, which won gold medals at the 1998, 2002 and 2010 FIBA World Championships and the 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games. In 2013, Val was named the recipient of USA Basketball’s Edward S. Steitz Award, which recognizes outstanding contributions in international basketball.

Val also served two terms (2006-10 and 2010-2014) as the U.S. representative for men’s and women’s basketball on the Central Board of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), the sport’s world governing body. She was a member of FIBA’s Competition Commission and served on the Central Board of FIBA Americas, FIBA’s zone authority for North, Central and South America.

Val is a member of the adjunct faculty for Columbia University’s graduate sports management program, the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, the Board of Directors of the National Consortium for Academics and Sports, and the Advisory Board of the NYU Tisch Institute for Sports Management, Media and Business. She is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, which inducted her as a contributor in 2011, and is a Lifetime Trustee of the Naismith Memorial Basketball

Hall of Fame, which presented her with the John Bunn Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008. She has done consulting work for the National Hockey League, which she assisted in formulating a long-term plan to support women’s ice hockey, and the NCAA, for which she prepared a comprehensive white paper in 2013 on growth strategies for women’s college basketball. She also worked as a free-lance columnist for espnw.com, where she authored a series of articles on the subject of women and sports and participated as a member of the espnw Advisory Board.

Val’s accomplishments in the sports business have earned her numerous awards, including the University of Virginia’s Distinguished Alumna Award; the March of Dimes Sports Achievement Award; induction into the GTE Academic All-America Hall of Fame; the Girls Scouts of America National Women of Distinction Juliette Award; the NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund Equal Opportunity Award; inclusion on the Atlantic Coast Conference’s 50th Anniversary Women’s Basketball team; induction into the International Scholar-Athlete Hall of Fame; the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association President’s Citation; the NCAA Silver Anniversary Award; the International Olympic Committee Women and Sport Achievement Diploma; the Sports Business Journal Champions in Sports Business Award; inclusion as a Women’s Sports Foundation/espnw 40 for 40 Honoree; induction into the National Consortium for Academics and Sports Hall of Fame; the Women in Sports and Events (WISE) 20th Anniversary Women of Distinction Award; and the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health Sports Ball Award.

Val is married to Charlie Rappaport, a retired tax partner of the Wall Street law firm of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett. They have two daughters, Emily (a 2014 graduate of Yale) and Sally (an undergraduate at Wesleyan University).

Preseason Honors VILLANOVA’S HART NAMED PRESEASON PLAYER OF THE YEAR; ST. JOHN’S PONDS SELECTED PRESEASON FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR Villanova guard Josh Hart has been chosen the 2016-17 BIG EAST Preseason Player of the Year by a vote of the league’s head coaches.

St. John’s guard Shamorie Ponds was tabbed Preseason Freshman of the Year. The coaches, who were not permitted to place their own players on their ballots, also chose an All-BIG EAST First Team, All-BIG EAST Second Team and All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention.

Hart, a 6-5 senior from Silver Spring, Md., already has collected numerous honors in his career. Last season, he was named to the NCAA All-Final Four Team after helping the Wildcats win the BIG EAST’s eighth and Villanova’s second national championship. He averaged 17.5 points and 8.0 rebounds in the two Final Four games. For the season, he averaged a team-leading 15.6 points and his 6.8 rebound mark led all guards in the BIG EAST. He was a unanimous All-BIG EAST First Team selection and was one of 15 finalists for the John Wooden Award.

As a sophomore, Hart won the Dave Gavitt Trophy as the Most Outstanding Player in the 2015 BIG EAST Tournament.

Ponds, a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., was a 2,000-point scorer at Thomas Jefferson High School and averaged 29 points, eight rebounds and six assists as a senior. A consensus top-50 recruit, he was named to the Jordan Brand AllAmerica Team.

The Preseason All-BIG EAST First Team includes Villanova forward Kris Jenkins, a unanimous selection, Xavier guards Trevon Bluiett and Edmond Sumner, Butler forward Kelan Martin and Creighton guard Maurice Watson Jr. Jenkins cemented a place in college basketball history when he hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to beat North Carolina 77-74 in the national championship game. For the season, the 6-6 forward was second to Hart in scoring with a 13.6 average and ranked first among BIG EAST players with 100 3-point baskets.

The Xavier guard duo of Bluiett and Sumner helped lead the Musketeers to a 28-6 season, a second-place finish in BIG EAST play with a 14-4 record and a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Bluiett averaged a team-high 15.1 points and garnered All-BIG EAST First Team honors. Sumner picked up BIG EAST All-Freshman Team accolades after averaging 11.0 points and 3.6 assists.

[ 14 ] 2016-17 BIG EAST Media Guide

Butler’s Martin became a force last year after earning a starting position at midseason.

The 6-7 forward averaged 15.7 points and a team-high 6.8 rebounds. He earned All-BIG EAST Second Team honors while helping the Bulldogs to a 22-11 record and a second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.

Watson Jr. led the Bluejays in scoring with a 14.1 average and was first in the BIG EAST in assists with a 6.5 mark. The 2015-16 season was Watson Jr.’s first as a Bluejay after transferring from Boston U. The speedy point guard made the All-BIG EAST Second Team.

The Preseason All-BIG EAST Second Team includes two seniors and three juniors. Guard Billy Garrett Jr. of DePaul and center Luke Fischer of Marquette are the seniors. Garrett Jr. averaged 12.6 points and 3.5 assists last year for the Blue Demons. In three seasons, he has scored 642 points in league games, the most among the BIG EAST’s active players. Fischer averaged 12.1 points and 6.2 rebounds for the Golden Eagles. He ranked second in the league in field goal percentage, making 61.0 percent from the field.

Two of three juniors are from Seton Hall.

Khadeen Carrington and Angel Delgado were critical contributors to the Pirate success that included winning the BIG EAST Tournament last March and gaining the school’s first NCAA appearance since 2006. Carrington is the team’s top returning scorer with a 14.1 mark. He also averaged 3.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists.

Preseason Honors VILLANOVA PICKED UNANIMOUSLY AGAIN TO WIN IN COACHES’ POLL For the third straight year, Villanova has been selected unanimously to capture the BIG EAST regular-season crown in the BIG EAST Preseason Coaches’ Poll. The Wildcats received all nine possible first-place votes from the league’s head coaches and a total of 81 points in the poll. Coaches do not place their own teams on their ballots.

The Wildcats have proven to be the correct pick. They have been the outright regularseason champion in each of the past three seasons, compiling a 16-2 record each year.

For 2016-17, coach Jay Wright’s club will be aiming for an unprecedented fourth consecutive title. Last year, the team was the BIG EAST Tournament runner-up before marching on to win the NCAA Tournament title and capturing the eighth national championship in BIG EAST men’s basketball history. For the second straight season, Villanova set a school record for victories, finishing with a 35-5 record.

The Wildcats return three starters from last year’s squad. Junior guard Josh Hart leads a talented group of returnees. He averaged 15.5 points and 6.8 rebounds last year and was named to the NCAA All-Final Four Team.

Junior forward Kris Jenkins, who hit the gamewinning 3-pointer at the buzzer of the national championship game against North Carolina, averaged 13.6 points and made a league-leading 100 3-point baskets. Sophomore guard Jalen Brunson averaged 9.6 points and made the BIG EAST All-Freshman Team.

Xavier was chosen for second place, the highest preseason position for the Musketeers as they begin their fourth year as a BIG EAST member. Xavier finished second to Villanova in the regular season with a 14-4 record and ended their campaign with a 28-6 overall record and a No. 9 ranking in the final Associated Press poll. This season, coach Chris Mack, who won three national Coach of the Year awards last year, can build around a backcourt that includes junior Trevon Bluiett and sophomore Edmond Sumner. Bluiett averaged 15.1 points and was named All-BIG EAST First Team. Sumner earned a spot on the BIG EAST All-Freshman Team after averaging 11.0 points and 3.6 assists.

Creighton is the coaches’ pick for third place in the poll with 64 points. The Bluejays put together a 20-15 season in 2015-16 and advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NIT. Coach Greg McDermott’s team finished 9-9 in BIG EAST play. This season, the Bluejays

can boast a strong backcourt that includes senior Maurice Watson Jr., who earned All-BIG EAST Second Team honors after averaging 14.1 points and a league-leading 6.5 assists.

He will be joined by junior Marcus Foster, a transfer who was a double-figure scorer in two seasons at Kansas State.

Seton Hall and Georgetown tied for fourth place in the poll with 53 points. The Pirates finished last season winning nine of their last 11 regular-season games and going on to win the BIG EAST Tournament. The Hall finished 25-9 overall and made its first NCAA appearance since 2006. They return four junior starters. Guard Khadeen Carrington averaged 14.1 points. In the frontcourt, Angel Delgado averaged 9.9 points and his 9.3 rebound mark ranked second in the BIG EAST. Desi Rodriguez compiled a 12.4 scoring mark and Ismael Sanogo averaged 5.0 points and 7.2 rebounds. The Hoyas will be focused on bouncing back from a 15-18 campaign and a 7-11 BIG EAST mark. L.J. Peak and Isaac Copeland, a pair of junior forwards, have already enjoyed two productive seasons. Last year, Peak averaged 12.3 points and Copeland averaged 11.1 points and 5.4 rebounds. Peak shot 40.9 percent from 3-point range, which ranked third in the league. Center Bradley Hayes averaged 8.7 points and 6.7 boards.

Starting point guard Tre Campbell (4.1 ppg) also returns.

Butler was slotted for sixth place. The Bulldogs are coming off their second straight NCAA Tournament and finished 22-11 overall and 10-8 in the BIG EAST. Junior forward Kelan Martin emerged as an effective league player, averaging 15.7 points and 6.8 rebounds. He was an All-BIG EAST Second Team pick. Senior forward Andrew Chrabascz has been a solid three-year contributor. Last year, he averaged 10.7 points and 4.2 rebounds. Junior forward Tyler Wideman earned a starting role last year and averaged 7.8 points and 5.7 rebounds.

Marquette was picked for seventh place.

Last year, with one of the nation’s youngest rosters, the Golden Eagles put together a 20-13 season and an 8-10 league record.

This season, Marquette has four starters back.

Senior center Luke Fischer averaged 12.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and shot 60.8 percent from the field. Sophomore guard Haanif Cheatham impressed as a rookie by compiling an 11.8 scoring average and making the BIG EAST All-Freshman Team. Senior guard Jajuan

Johnson averaged 10.2 points and sophomore guard Traci Carter earned a starting spot as a freshman, averaging 5.4 points.

St. John’s was tabbed for eighth place. Last year, the Red Storm were very young, but four freshmen showed plenty of promise for new coach Chris Mullin. Forward Kassoum Yakwe led the BIG EAST in blocked shots with a 2.5 average. He also averaged 7.1 points and 5.3 rebounds. Classmate Yankuba Sima was second in blocks at 2.4 and averaged 7.3 points and 5.7 boards. Guard Federico Mussini compiled a 10.7 scoring mark and led the league in free throw shooting, making 86.2 percent.

Guard Malik Ellison averaged 7.3 points.

Providence was selected ninth. The Friars are coming off their third straight NCAA appearance, a 24-11 overall record and a 10-8 mark in BIG EAST play. They must replace Kris Dunn, the BIG EAST Player and Defensive Player of the Year, and Ben Bentil, who won the BIG EAST Most Improved Player award. Both were NBA Draft picks. Junior forward Rodney Bullock returns after averaging 11.4 points and 6.8 rebounds. Guards Jalen Lindsey (7.9) and Kyron Cartwright (5.9) along with forward Ryan Fazekas (5.1) all have starting experience.

DePaul was picked 10th. Guard Billy Garrett Jr. figures to be the team’s anchor. A former BIG EAST Rookie of the Year, the senior averaged 12.6 points and 3.5 assists last season. Backcourt partner Eli Cain made the BIG EAST All-Freshman Team after averaging 10.3 points. He was second in the league in field goal shooting at 42.5 percent. Coach Dave Leitao’s group of newcomers mostly consist of candidates to strengthen the frontcourt.

Carnesecca Arena; All times are Eastern.

BULLDOGS PREVIEW The Big Picture: Last season, the Bulldogs put together their second straight 20-win campaign, which included two NCAA Tournament games. Butler finished 22-11 overall and tied for fourth place in the BIG EAST with a 10-8 mark. The Bulldogs have made the NCAA Tournament in eight of the last 10 years and have posted at least 20 wins 10 times in the last 11 seasons. In just two years as head coach, Chris Holtmann has continued the Butler tradition of excellence. This year, he will have to find a way to replace the productive backcourt of Kellen Dunham and Roosevelt Jones, but a solid core of returning players led by emerging star Kelan Martin has Holtmann and the Bulldogs optimistic again.

Who’s Back: Junior Kelan Martin had a breakout season last year and earned All-BIG EAST Second Team honors. He averaged 15.7 points and a team high 6.8 rebounds despite not earning a regular starting role until midseason.

The 6-7 forward is the BIG EAST’s top returning scorer. Also at forward, rugged Tyler Wideman advanced into a starter’s role last year. He averaged 7.8 points and 5.7 rebounds while ranking fourth in the league in blocks with a 1.5 mark. The other returning starter is 6-7 senior Andrew Chrabascz, who has been a three-year contributor. Last season, he averaged 10.7 points and 4.2 boards. Senior point guard Tyler Lewis averaged 5.9 points and shot 38.7 percent from 3-point range in 16 starts. Sophomore center Nate Fowler (1.2, 1.3) was used in a reserve role.

[ 28 ] 2016-17 BIG EAST Media Guide

Who’s Gone: The backcourt of Kellen Dunham and Roosevelt Jones has graduated.

Dunham, who earned all-conference honors in each of his three BIG EAST seasons, averaged a team-leading 16.2 points, which ranked fifth in the league. Jones, one of the most versatile players in the league, averaged 13.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.5 steals. He was an All-BIG EAST Second Team pick last season. Jones and Dunham were also 1-2 in minutes played. Reserve guard Jordan Gathers (4.1 ppg), and forwards Austin Etherington (3.7) and Jackson Davis (2.5) also departed.

Storylines: While Holtmann has kept the Bulldogs successful, he has also transformed the team offensively. Last year, the Bulldogs were second in the BIG EAST in scoring offense, averaging 79.9 points per game. In 2013-14, they averaged 68.5. Martin should be a strong contender for repeat allconference honors. Chrabascz and Wideman are experienced and productive frontcourt contributors. A pair of transfers may help in the backcourt.

Senior Kethan Savage, from George Washington, averaged 11.7 points two seasons ago and Avery Woodson, a graduate transfer from Memphis, averaged 9.6 points and shot 43 percent from 3-point range. Four freshmen also will push to be noticed, including 6-6 wing Sean McDermott, who was a redshirt last season.

BLUEJAYS PREVIEW The Big Picture: The Bluejays returned to the postseason last year, reaching the NIT quarterfinals and finishing with a 20-15 record. Transfer Maurice Watson Jr. made an immediate splash at point guard and was named All-BIG EAST Second Team. With four starters returning and another proven transfer becoming eligible, coach Greg McDermott, who has averaged more than 23 wins in six seasons in Omaha, is aiming higher in 2016-17.

Who’s Back: Watson Jr. burst on the scene and led the team in scoring with a 14.1 average.

He was first in the BIG EAST in assists with a 6.5 mark. Forward Cole Huff averaged 11.3 points and 5.1 rebounds.

He is also a 3-point threat, though the top shooter from beyond the arc is senior Isaiah Zierden, who averaged 10.2 points. Khyri Thomas averaged 6.2 points after starting as a freshman at guard. Six-nine senior Zach Hanson (6.8, 3.1), 6-10 junior Toby Hegner (5.3, 3.8) and redshirt freshman Justin Patton will aim for lone opening starting spot at center. Sophomore Ronnie Harrell Jr. (3.2, 2.6) will push for time on the wing. Redshirt freshman forward Martin Krampelj brings strong rebounding skills.

[ 32 ] 2016-17 BIG EAST Media Guide

Who’s Gone: Center Geoffrey Groselle, who led the BIG EAST with a 70.2 percent shooting percentage from the field, is the lone departing starter. He averaged 11.2 points and 6.1 rebounds. James Milliken, a top guard reserve who played 26.3 minutes per game, averaged 9.7 points.

Storylines: Watson Jr.’s partner in the backcourt will be heralded transfer Marcus Foster. The 6-3 junior averaged 12.5 points two seasons ago at Kansas State. He might also be the Bluejays’ best defender. The addition of Foster gives the Bluejays one of the better backcourts in the nation. Watson Jr. leads all active players nationally with 639 career assists. Creighton has always been strong on the perimeter under McDermott. Zierden, who led the team in minutes played, and Harrell Jr. offer strong play on the wing. Freshmen Davion Mintz and Kobe Paras along with junior Tyler Clement will add depth in the backcourt. In addition to the solid Huff, the frontcourt is deeper with the addition of Patton and Krampelj.

BLUE DEMONS PREVIEW The Big Picture: In his second year of his second tenure as the DePaul head coach, Dave Leitao welcomes back his starting backcourt and will bring in a large group of newcomers with the emphasis on building a stronger frontcourt.

The 2016-17 season will be DePaul’s 37th and last in Allstate Arena. They are moving into the Event Center at McCormick Square in downtown Chicago in ’17-18, but want to build some positive momentum during the upcoming season before they get to their new digs. The Blue Demons may play with an overall smaller lineup in 2016-17, but believe they are headed in the right direction under Leitao, the last coach to lead DePaul to the NCAA Tournament.

Who’s Back: Senior guard Billy Garrett Jr. averaged 12.6 points and 3.5 assists. Eli Cain started as a freshman with Garrett Jr. in the backcourt and averaged 10.3 points en route to BIG EAST AllFreshman honors. Cain’s 42.5 percent 3-point shooting ranked second in the league. Senior Darrick Wood averaged 5.9 points off the bench. Sophomore Erten Gazi and senior R.J. Curington also will vie for playing time in a crowded backcourt. Senior forward Peter Ryckbosch (1.5, 2.5) has been a solid reserve on the boards and defensively.

[ 36 ] 2016-17 BIG EAST Media Guide

Who’s Gone Myke Henry is the biggest loss for the Blue Demons. The dependable forward led the team with a 13.7 scoring average and a 6.2 rebounding mark as a senior. Forward Tommy Hamilton, who averaged 8.6 points and 5.5 rebounds while making 16 starts, left the program. Guard Aaron Simpson finished his senior season with a 6.0 scoring mark in 20 starts. Reserve forward Rashaun Stimage (5.7, 4.2) also picked up his diploma.

Storylines: Garrett Jr. will offer his steady veteran presence in addition to his solid production. In BIG EAST games, he has scored 642 career points, which leads all conference players. Chris HarrisonDocks is a graduate transfer from Western Kentucky who averaged 10.0 points last season mostly as a 3-point threat. With Wood and two more new guard candidates, Devin Gage and Brandon Cyrus, the backcourt should be strong. The new faces in the frontcourt include 6-7 junior college transfer Tre’Darius McCallum, 6-7 freshman Al Eichelberger and 6-10 freshman Levi Cook. McCallum brings superior athletic ability. Eichelberger and Cook will play closer to the basket.

HOYAS PREVIEW The Big Picture: Last season, a predominantly young Hoya team was competitive, but came out on the wrong end of several close games. The result was a 15-18 overall record and a 7-11 BIG EAST mark.

Ten losses were by six points or less. The 2016-17 Georgetown squad has more experience and expects to turn around some of last year’s close defeats. They did lose all-conference guard D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera to graduation, but the eight other players who averaged double figures in minutes are all back. A couple of transfers have been added to help return the Hoyas to their accustomed place as a BIG EAST contender.

Who’s Back: Junior forwards L.J. Peak and Isaac Copeland are quality returnees. The 6-5 Peak averaged 12.3 points and made 40.9 percent from 3-point range, second in the BIG EAST. The 6-9 Copeland averaged 11.1 points and 5.4 rebounds. Center Bradley Hayes, who was granted another year of eligibility, averaged 8.7 points and a teamleading 6.7 rebounds. Forward Marcus Derrickson made 27 starts as a freshman and averaged 7.1 points and 4.5 boards. Classmate Jessie Govan, a 6-10 center, averaged 6.8 points and 4.1 boards. Senior Reggie Cameron (5.6, 2.0), sophomore Kaleb Johnson (2.8, 1.8) and junior Trey Mourning (1.5, 1.0) also contribute at forward. Sophomore Tre Campbell started 20 games at point guard and averaged 4.1 points.

[ 40 ] 2016-17 BIG EAST Media Guide

Who’s Gone: The Hoyas lost only one starter from last year’s regular rotation, but it’s a significant departure. D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera finished his career as the all-time Georgetown leading scorer in BIG EAST games with 1,113 points. Last season, he was sixth in the BIG EAST in scoring with a 16.2 average and sixth in assists with a 4.5 mark. Reserve guard Riyan Williams, who saw limited action, also picked up his diploma. Reserve forward Paul White (1.6, 1.6) transferred.

Storylines: Newcomers in the backcourt figure to have an immediate impact. Graduate transfer Rodney Pryor is expected to provide some offensive punch after averaging 18.3 points and 8.0 rebounds last season at Robert Morris.

His scoring mark ranked second in the Northeast Conference. Pryor was the MVP of the NEC postseason tournament. Jonathan Mulmore, a 6-4 junior college transfer, was named National Junior College Athletic Administration All-America Second Team. Freshman guard Jagan Mosely, a prep New Jersey State Player of the Year, and freshman forward George Muresan also will be pushing to be noticed.

GOLDEN EAGLES PREVIEW The Big Picture: With one of the youngest rosters in the nation last year and no scholarship seniors, Marquette put together a 20-13 season overall and was 8-10 in conference play. The Golden Eagles will be more experienced this season with four starters and a total of nine letterwinners returning. The only loss is a significant one, however. NBA first-round draft choice Henry Ellenson was taken 18th overall by the Detroit Pistons. Marquette has not been to the postseason since an NCAA Elite Eight appearance in 2013.

Who’s Back: Four double-figure scorers are back for third-year coach Steve Wojciechowski.

Senior center Luke Fischer averaged 12.1 points and 6.2 rebounds. Senior guard Jajuan Johnson posted averages of 10.2 points and 3.2 rebounds.

Primarily a perimeter shooter, he made 51.0 percent from the field.

Guard Haanif Cheatham started every game in his freshman season and averaged 11.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists. He was a BIG EAST All-Freshman pick. Guard Traci Carter also earned a starting spot as a freshman and averaged 5.4 points and 4.6 assists. Junior guard Duane Wilson averaged 11.6 points while making 15 starts. Junior forward Sandy Cohen III also made 15 starts and averaged 5.9 points, mostly on the wing.

Sophomores Sacar Anim (1.1) and Matt Heldt add depth up front.

[ 44 ] 2016-17 BIG EAST Media Guide

Who’s Gone: Ellenson, the BIG EAST Freshman of the Year, was the 18th player chosen in the first round, going to the Detroit Pistons. He was third in the BIG EAST in scoring with a 17.0 average and led the conference in rebounding with a 9.7 mark. Reserve forwards Wally Ellenson, Henry’s brother, and Michael Mache also have departed.

Storylines: Six of the returnees started at least 15 games last season. Transfer guards Andrew Rowsey and Katin Reinhardt add more experience and some proven scoring ability. Rowsey, from UNC Asheville, averaged 19.2 points two seasons ago and was third in the nation in free throw shooting, making 92.1 percent en route to all-league honors. Reinhardt, a graduate transfer from USC, averaged 11.4 points last season for the Trojans. Highly-touted freshman guard candidates Markus Howard and San Hauser will push to make the regular rotation.

FRIARS PREVIEW The Big Picture: The Friars have made the NCAA Tournament in each of the last three seasons under coach Ed Cooley. It’s the first time the Friar program has been to three straight NCAA tourneys since 1972-74. Last year’s victory total of 24 was the highest in 19 seasons. The challenge for a fourth straight bid will be significant after losing Kris Dunn and Ben Bentil to the NBA. The Friars do have some solid experience on hand and they have established a winning tradition.

Some dependence on newcomers may be critical to keep the postseason streak alive.

Who’s Back: Bullock emerged as a quality BIG EAST performer last season. The 6-8 junior forward became a full time starter and averaged 11.4 points and 6.8 rebounds. Jalen Lindsey, a 6-7 junior guard, made 17 starts and averaged 7.0 points. Kyron Cartwright provided support to Dunn’s lead guard role, but still led the BIG EAST in assist/turnover ratio with a 2.9 mark. Six-eight Ryan Fazekas earned a starting position on the wing as a freshman, though he was slowed by illness and injury. A sharp 3-point threat, he still averaged 5.1 points in 12 starts. Drew Edwards played 10.4 minutes per game as a freshman guard and averaged 2.4 points.

[ 48 ] 2016-17 BIG EAST Media Guide

Who’s Gone: No league team lost what the Friars lost. Kris Dunn, the BIG EAST Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, and Ben Bentil, the BIG EAST Most Improved Player, were drafted by the NBA. Dunn, who was chosen fifth overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves, was ranked in the top five of the BIG EAST in points (16.44th), assists (6.2-2nd), and steals (2.5-1st). Bentil was first in scoring with a 21.1 average and fourth in rebounding with a 7.7 mark. Guard Junior Lomomba (5.3, 2.5), a starter who also excelled defensively, also departed along with reserve forward Quadree Smith and guard Tyree Chambers.

Storylines: The Friars will welcome some of their returnees taking on leadership roles this season. Bullock, Lindsey, Cartwright, Edwards and Fazekas all have BIG EAST experience. Without Dunn and Bentil, they also will have more of an opportunity to step up in production. Newcomers could have chances to make some immediate contributions. Sophomore guard Isaiah Jackson is a transfer from George Mason. Six-seven Emmitt Holt, a junior college transfer, is a power forward candidate. The other new faces are freshmen — 6-7 guard Alpha Diallo, 6-2 guard Maliek White and 6-9 forward Kalif Young.

RED STORM PREVIEW The Big Picture: Head coach Chris Mullin had to start almost completely from scratch last year in his first season as head coach.

Four freshmen, who had to be thrown immediately into the BIG EAST fire, gained from the experience and look like they will become solid BIG EAST performers. The Red Storm want to keep laying the foundation for their program in 2016-17. A strong recruiting class along with a talented transfer, who is eligible this season, should help add to the foundation.

Who’s Back: Federico Mussini, a 6-2 guard, was second on the team in scoring with a 10.7 scoring average. He is a good 3-point shooter and his 86.2 percent clip from the foul line ranked first in the BIG EAST. He made 24 starts and led the team in minutes played with 29.3 per game. Kassoum Yakwe, a 6-7 forward, made the BIG EAST All-Freshman Team after averaging 7.1 points and 5.3 rebounds. His 2.5 blocked shot average led the league. Yankuba Sima, a 6-11 center, averaged 7.3 points, a team-leading 5.7 rebounds and was second on the conference blocked shot list behind Yakwe at 2.4. Guard Malik Ellison started nine games and averaged 7.3 points. Forward Amar Alibegovic, a 6-9 junior, helped off the bench with a 5.1 scoring average.

[ 52 ] 2016-17 BIG EAST Media Guide

Who’s Gone: The Red Storm lost two full-time starters, wing Durand Johnson and guard Ron Mvouika, who were both graduate transfers. Johnson made 25 starts and averaged a team-high 12.0 points. Mvouika averaged 8.5 points while starting 30 of 32 games.

Johnson and Mvouika combined 104 3-point baskets. Forward Christian Jones, who averaged 8.4 points and a team-high 5.2 rebounds, graduated.

He started 19 games. Guard Felix Balamou averaged 6.8 points coming off the bench.

Storylines: The Red Storm coaching staff is high on its second recruiting class and the newcomers will have some immediate opportunities to shine. Bashir Ahmed, a 6-7 junior college transfer, was a first team all-America selection last season, averaging 20.1 points and 8.1 rebounds. Freshman guard Shamorie Ponds is a consensus top 50 recruit who scored more than 2,000 points in high school. Marcus LoVett, a redshirt freshman point guard, was a highly-regarded prep recruit a year ago. Forward Tariq Owens, a 6-11 transfer from Tennessee, will contend for immediate playing time at forward along with freshman Richard Freudenberg.

PIRATES PREVIEW The Big Picture: Last year, the Pirates stormed down the stretch in BIG EAST play, winning nine of their last 11 regular-season games. The momentum continued into the BIG EAST Tournament and the Pirates captured their first tourney crown since 1993. An NCAA Tournament berth was the school’s first since 2006. Coach Kevin Willard’s club rode the shoulders of guard Isaiah Whitehead, who earned All-BIG EAST First Team recognition and won the Dave Gavitt Trophy as the Most Outstanding Player of the BIG EAST Tournament. Whitehead left for the NBA, but a cluster of experienced juniors will anchor the Pirates for 2016-17 and another successful season is expected.

Who’s Back: Khadeen Carrington, Angel Delgado and Desi Rodriguez are three juniors who have been in the middle of the Pirates’ rise over the past two seasons. Carrington is the team’s top returning scorer with a 14.1 average.

One of the league’s best penetrating guards, he also averaged 3.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists. Delgado was AllBIG EAST Honorable Mention after averaging 9.9 points, 9.3 rebounds while shooting 56.7 percent from the floor. Rodriguez, an athletic 6-6 forward, averaged 12.4 points and was third in the BIG EAST in steals with a 1.4 mark. Six-eight Ismael Sanogo, another junior, patrolled the paint defensively and averaged 5.0 points and 7.2 rebounds. Sophomores Veer Singh (2.2) and Michael Nzei (3.5, 3.0) along with junior Rashed Anthony give the Hall a deep bench.

[ 56 ] 2016-17 BIG EAST Media Guide

Who’s Gone: Isaiah Whitehead, who spearheaded the successful stretch run last season, was taken in the second round of the NBA Draft and will play for his hometown Brooklyn Nets. Whitehead was second in the BIG EAST in scoring with an 18.2 mark and third in assists with a 5.1 average. He also was third in the league with 81 3-pointers made. Guard Derrick Gordon, who came to the Pirates as a graduate transfer, was a very valuable contributor off the bench. He averaged 8.0 points and 3.3 rebounds, excelled defensively and offered veteran leadership to a young squad.

Storylines: While the Pirates certainly will miss Whitehead, the group of juniors is battle-tested and has experienced success in the BIG EAST. Carrington should be one of the top guards in the league. Delgado, Rodriguez and Sanogo form an athletic and balanced frontcourt. Freshman guards Myles Powell and Eron Gordon may have their eyes on the open starting position. Singh’s outside shooting ability will help offensively. The Pirates ranked first in the BIG EAST in field goal defense, allowing opponents only 40.2 percent shooting from the floor. They ranked second in scoring defense, yielding only 67.8 points per game. Willard would like to see the defensive prowess continue.

WILDCATS PREVIEW The Big Picture: The Wildcats won the NCAA national championship game 77-74 over North Carolina, on a 3-pointer at the buzzer

by Kris Jenkins. The shot will be one of the most replayed shots in college basketball history. Not that the path to an NCAA crown is ever easy, but the Wildcats’ last four tournament wins came against top 10 teams — Miami, Kansas, Oklahoma and North Carolina.

Coach Jay Wright was named Naismith Coach of the Year. This season, Wright has three starters returning and prominent reserves from last year who are anxious to fill larger roles. In BIG EAST play, Villanova has won three straight regular-season crowns with 16-2 records in each year. No BIG EAST team has captured four consecutive regular-season titles.

Who’s Back: Senior Josh Hart, the top scorer and rebounder, leads the list of returnees. The All-BIG EAST First Team guard averaged 15.5 points and 6.8 rebounds. Jenkins, a 6-6 senior forward, was second in scoring at 13.6.

His 100 3-pointers led all BIG EAST players. Point guard Jalen Brunson directed the team as a freshman and averaged 9.6 points while earning BIG EAST All-Freshman Team honors. Junior guard Phil Booth averaged 21.9 minutes off the bench, 7.0 points and was a defensive force. Forward Mikal Bridges averaged 6.4 points and 3.2 rebounds.

Darryl Reynolds posted averages of 3.6 points and 4.5 boards. Booth, Bridges and Reynolds all will contend for open starting positions. Guard

[ 60 ] 2016-17 BIG EAST Media Guide

Donte DiVincenzo and forward Tim Delaney were redshirted as freshmen.

Who’s Gone: Ryan Arcidiacono and Daniel Ochefu leave Villanova with their national championship rings and four years of admirable contributions. They helped amass a 117-27 record in their four seasons. Arcidiacono was the Final Four MVP. His 12.5 scoring average hardly revealed his value to the team as he was a captain since his freshman campaign. The same can be said of Ochefu’s 10.0 scoring mark. He was fifth in the BIG EAST in rebounding with a 7.5 average. Arcidiacono played in a school record 144 games.

Storylines: In addition to a strong nucleus of returnees, the Wildcats have 6-7 Eric Paschall, a transfer from Fordham who was the Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year two seasons ago. He averaged 15.9 points and 5.5 rebounds. Paschall is expected to see plenty of playing time. Freshmen forward candidate Dylan Painter will try to catch Wright’s eye and make the regular rotation. The Wildcats will miss the leadership of Arcidiacono and Ochefu, but there is plenty of experience on hand to project another excellent campaign.

MUSKETEERS PREVIEW The Big Picture The 2015-16 season was an outstanding one for the Musketeers.

They were 28-6 overall, 14-4 in the BIG EAST, earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament and finished No. 9 in the final Associated Press poll. Coach Chris Mack, who earned national Coach of the Year honors from the USBWA, CBS Sports and Basketball Times, has to replace two departed contributors in the frontcourt, but a very strong core returns.

The Musketeers are expected to be formidable again, in the BIG EAST and on the national scene. Xavier has been to 10 of the last 11 NCAA Tournaments.

Who’s Back: Junior guard Trevon Bluiett was AllBIG EAST First Team after averaging a team high 15.1 points. Point guard Edmond Sumner started as a rookie and averaged 11.0 points and 3.6 assists. He made the BIG EAST AllFreshman Team. Myles Davis, one of the top shooters in the league, was the third guard in a three-guard lineup, though he was suspended indefinitely from the team in the preseason. He averaged 10.8 points and shot 38.1 percent from beyond the arc. Junior guard J.P. Macura averaged 9.4 points coming off the bench and won the BIG EAST Sixth Man Award. Athletic forward Kaiser Gates showed promise as a freshman, averaging 3.2 points.

Reserve Sean O’Mara, a 6-10 junior, averaged 3.2 points and 1.9 boards in a crowded frontcourt.

[ 64 ] 2016-17 BIG EAST Media Guide

Who’s Gone: Forward James Farr and Jalen Reynolds will be missed for their work close to the basket. Farr averaged 10.7 points and 7.8 rebounds.

His rebounding mark ranked third in the BIG EAST. Reynolds averaged 9.6 points and 6.5 boards. Farr ranked fifth in the league in field goal shooting, making 54.5 percent and Reynolds was eighth (52.3). Reserve guard Larry Austin Jr. and backup forward Makinde London transferred.

Storylines: Statistics do not lie when reviewing the success in the league last year. In BIG EAST games, Xavier was first in scoring (80.7), assists (16.7), rebound margin (+3.9) and was second in 3-point shooting (36.3 percent). The Musketeers feel very good about transfer Rashid Gaston moving into a starting position in the frontcourt. A 6-9, 240-pound senior who sat out last year after transferring from Norfolk State, he averaged 15.5 points and 9.6 rebounds in 2014-15. He also shot 62.6 percent from the field, which ranked fourth in the nation. Malcolm Bernard, a 6-7 graduate transfer from Florida A&M, can help on the wing. He averaged 14.4 points and 7.1 boards.

Xavier appears poised for another season of high-level success.

BIG EAST Hosts Freshmen Fundamentals The BIG EAST held its second annual Freshmen Fundamentals program this fall with the conference inviting the incoming men’s basketball freshmen from all 10 league teams to New York City for a two-day forum that featured interactive panel discussions and a visit to Madison Square Garden, home of the BIG EAST Tournament.

Nearly 30 freshmen attended.

Freshmen Fundamentals is designed to assist men’s basketball student-athletes in their transition from high school to the high level of BIG EAST basketball. A panel of former players and graduates included St. John’s guard Felipe Lopez, Villanova center Daniel Ochefu and Georgetown forward Nate Lubick. That panel was hosted

by Tarik Turner, a former St. John’s guard, who is now an analyst for FOX Sports and a successful business professional. Turner also spoke to the group about networking and career planning. There was a broadcast presentation made by executives from FOX Sports, the BIG EAST’s television partner.

A panel on etiquette, personal branding and how to create a positive image in campus and social settings was conducted.

The student-athletes also participated in a media training session.

While on their trip, the players visited the 9/11 Memorial.

BIG EAST Tournament Celebrates 35 Years At Madison Square Garden The 2017 BIG EAST Tournament will be the 35th in Madison Square Garden, the World’s Most Famous Arena. The Garden has hosted the Tournament since 1983, making the event the longest running postseason tournament in college basketball at the same venue. It is one of the sport’s signature events.

In 1983, St. John’s was the tournament winner and Chris Mullin, the school’s current head coach, was named the MVP. The BIG EAST Tournament has showcased some of the greatest coaches and players in the history of the game and an incredible number of fantastic finishes.

Last year, Seton Hall edged Villanova 69-67 in the final in front of a sellout crowd. It was the Pirates’ third BIG EAST tourney crown and would be the Wildcats’ last loss before marching to the NCAA national championship a few weeks later.
