2015-16 BIG EAST Media Guide [ 1 ]

The BIG EAST Conference The BIG EAST Conference will forge ahead in 2015-16 for its third year in its current configuration. Founded by Dave Gavitt in 1979, the BIG EAST reorganized in 2013, entering a new era by returning to its basketball-focused heritage. The league’s 10 member schools today— Butler University, Creighton University, DePaul University, Georgetown University, Marquette University, Providence College, St. John’s University, Seton Hall University, Villanova University, and Xavier University—maintain an unyielding commitment to academic integrity, athletic excellence and community service.

Gavitt, the former Providence College men’s basketball coach and athletic director, made the BIG EAST Conference a reality in May of 1979. 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 broadbased 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,

[ 2 ] 2015-16 BIG EAST Media Guide

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 long-term agreement 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 University, Creighton University and Xavier University—and forged a landmark, long-term broadcast partnership with FOX Sports. To complete the transformation, the BIG EAST moved its headquarters from its original location in Providence, R.I., to midtown Manhattan in New York City. The BIG EAST’s new era officially began on July 1, 2013, its effective date as the NCAA’s 32nd Division I conference.

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 sought to maintain its reputation for excellence in intercollegiate

athletics and has remained influential on the national landscape, with many conference and school administrators now serving on key NCAA committees.

Since its inception in 1979, the BIG EAST has been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion, particularly television, and the conference’s current relationship with FOX Sports allows that tradition to continue. The BIG EAST has enjoyed a fruitful partnership with FOX Sports and its national cable network, FOX Sports 1, since the 201314 academic year, the first under the current multi-year agreement. FOX’s wall-to-wall coverage of BIG EAST men’s basketball includes complete coverage of all regular season games on FOX, FS1, FS2 and 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 New Year’s Marathon at the beginning of conference play. FOX Sports platforms also carry complete coverage of the BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Tournament and selected coverage of other Olympic sport championships. BIG EAST institutions are located in seven of the nation’s top 35 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Indianapolis, Milwaukee and Cincinnati.

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.

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 2015-16, with an emphasis on women’s basketball and Olympic sport regular season and championship events.

BIG EAST Serves launched in 2014 as the conference’s platform to align the academic, health, leadership and service missions of the ten member institutions. Initiatives housed under the BIG EAST Serves umbrella 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 to New York City, the conference’s headquarters.

BIG EAST student-athletes boast high graduation rates, and the league has always been able to proudly say that many of its best students are also its best athletes. Alex Barlow, the starting guard for the Butler men’s

basketball team that earned a 2014-15 NCAA bid, won the Senior CLASS Award in his sport for excellence in classroom, community, character and competition. He also won the BIG EAST men’s basketball scholar-athlete award for the second year in a row. Katrina Coogan of Georgetown, the 2015 conference women’s cross country champion, was a CoSIDA Academic All-American and seven-time cross country and track and field All-American.

In 2014-15, BIG EAST teams earned a total of 31 NCAA bids. Two teams won national championships: Connecticut, an associate member in field hockey, won its second straight NCAA crown, and Denver, an associate member in men’s lacrosse, also captured an NCAA title, the first national champion not from the East Coast in that sport. Seven different national postseason championships saw multiple BIG EAST teams participate, including six teams in men’s basketball. BIG EAST schools produced 12 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, including five in soccer (three male, two female).

Current BIG EAST men’s basketball programs have enjoyed extraordinary success over the years. Georgetown, Marquette and Villanova have won the national champion-

ship, and DePaul, Providence, St. John’s and Seton Hall have all 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 12 years, Butler, Georgetown, Marquette and Villanova have each reached the Final Four, with Butler making two trips. Xavier has also 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 six 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 36 years since the original league opened its doors, BIG EAST teams have won 38 national championships in eight different sports. The conference crowned champions in 22 sports in the 2014-15 academic year, with 140 student-athletes winning individual national titles.

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 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.

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

[ 4 ] 2015-16 BIG EAST Media Guide

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 PROVIDENCE’S KRIS DUNN NAMED PRESEASON PLAYER OF THE YEAR; VILLANOVA’S BRUNSON SELECTED PRESEASON ROOKIE OF THE YEAR Providence guard Kris Dunn has been selected 2015-16 BIG EAST Preseason Player of the Year by a vote of the league’s head coaches.

Villanova freshman guard Jalen Brunson has been named BIG EAST Preseason Rookie of the Year.

Dunn, a 6-4 junior, has already been mentioned on some Preseason All-America Teams.

Last season, he shared BIG EAST Player of the Year honors with Villanova’s Ryan Arcidiacono.

Dunn also was named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year. He was the first guard in BIG EAST history to share Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year awards in the same season.

Last season, Dunn averaged 15.6 points and 5.5 rebounds. His 7.5 assist average and his 2.7 steals mark ranked first in the BIG EAST. Dunn was third nationally in assists and fifth in steals. One of the league’s top allaround performers, he also became the 14th player in BIG EAST history to record a tripledouble in a league game with 27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in a win over DePaul last year. A native of New London, Conn., Dunn is the second Providence player to earn BIG EAST Preseason Player of the Year honors.

Ryan Gomes was the Preseason Player of the Year in 2004-05.

Villanova’s Brunson, a heralded 6-2 freshman guard, has already earned plaudits by helping the USA Basketball U-19 team win a gold medal at the World Championships over the summer. As a prep senior at Adlai Stevenson H.S. in Lincolnshire, Ill., he was a McDonald’s All-American and Mr. Basketball in Illinois.

The 2015-16 Preseason All-BIG EAST First Team includes Villanova’s Arcidiacono, Georgetown’s D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera, Xavier’s Jalen Reynolds and two Butler standouts, Kellen Dunham and Roosevelt Jones.

Arcidiacono helped lead Villanova to a BIG EAST regular-season title, a BIG EAST Tournament crown and a 33-3 overall record last season. The 6-3 senior guard averaged 10.1 points and ranked second in the BIG EAST in assist/turnover ratio at 2.7. He has been the Wildcats’ team captain since the middle of his freshman season.

Smith-Rivera has been a four-year contributor for the Hoyas. The 6-3 senior is coming off a season of averaging 16.3 points and helping his team reach the third round of the NCAA Tournament and finishing with a 22-11 record.

He was an All-BIG EAST First Team selection.

Reynolds was a key contributor off the bench last season in Xavier’s NCAA Sweet 16 run. The 6-10 junior averaged 9.9 points and 6.1 rebounds for the season, but played his best basketball at the end of the year when [ 14 ] 2015-16 BIG EAST Media Guide

he averaged 12.0 points in the Musketeers’ six postseason games. He made the BIG EAST All-Tournament Team.

Dunham and Jones were critical to Butler’s return to the postseason last March. Dunham, one of the BIG EAST top perimeter shooters, earned All-BIG EAST First Team honors after averaging 16.5 points. He is the conference’s top returning scorer and shot 41 percent from 3-point range. Jones is a versatile performer who usually fills up his line in the box score.

The 6-4 forward averaged 12.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists. He averaged 35.5 minutes of playing time, second in the BIG EAST. The Preseason All-BIG EAST Second Team includes a senior from Villanova, a junior from DePaul, a pair of sophomores from Seton Hall and a freshman from Marquette.

Daniel Ochefu is the Villanova upperclassman on the second team. The 6-11 senior forward averaged 9.2 points and 8.5 rebounds in only 24.0 minutes per game last season. He shot 64.4 percent from the floor.

The DePaul junior is guard Billy Garrett, Jr., who made All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention last year after averaging 12.3 points and 3.9 assists. He was the BIG EAST Rookie of the Year two seasons ago.

The Seton Hall sophomore duo is forward Angel Delgado and guard Isaiah Whitehead.

Delgado won the BIG EAST Rookie of the Year award after averaging 9.3 points and 9.8 rebounds. The 6-9 sophomore won the BIG EAST rebounding crown by averaging 10.7 boards in league play. Whitehead was the BIG EAST Preseason Rookie of the Year last season. He missed part of the campaign with a hand injury but still made the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team by averaging 12.0 points and 3.9 rebounds.

Henry Ellenson, a 6-10 freshman from Marquette, who was ranked by the national recruiting services as an elite prospect. He was a McDonald’s and Parade All-American as a prep senior at Rice Lake, Wis. and the Co-Winner of the Wisconsin Mr. Basketball honor. He is the first freshman to earn preseason All-BIG EAST First or Second Team honors since the Preseason All-Rookie Team was discontinued in 1992-93.

The Preseason All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention group of four players includes Villanova’s Brunson along with sophomore forward Isaac Copeland of Georgetown, junior center Luke Fischer of Marquette and sophomore guard Trevon Bluiett. Copeland and Bluiett made the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team.

Preseason Honors VILLANOVA PICKED UNANIMOUSLY AGAIN TO WIN IN COACHES’ POLL Villanova, for the second straight season, is the unanimous pick to win the 2015-16 BIG EAST regular-season crown in the BIG EAST Preseason Coaches’ Poll. The Wildcats received all nine possible first-place votes and a total of 81 points. Coaches did not place their own teams on their ballots.

The Wildcats proved the coaches prophetic last year as they captured their second straight regular-season BIG EAST crown with a 16-2 mark and went on to win the BIG EAST Tournament. Overall, Villanova enjoyed one of its greatest seasons ever with a 33-3 overall mark – the most victories in school history – and a No. 2 ranking in the final Associated Press poll.

The Wildcats return only two starters from last year’s squad, but coach Jay Wright appears to have many capable players ready to assume larger roles in ’15-16. He also expects a heralded recruiting class to offer some immediate contributions. The returning starters are senior guard Ryan Arcidiacono, the BIG EAST Co-Player of the Year last season, and senior forward Daniel Ochefu. Arcidiacono averaged 10.1 ppg and was second in the BIG EAST in assist/turnover ratio at 2.7. Ochefu averaged 9.2 points and 8.5 rebounds while shooting 64.4 percent from the floor. Junior guard Josh Hart averaged 10.1 ppg as a top reserve.

He was named BIG EAST Sixth Man of the Year and won the Dave Gavitt Trophy as the Most Outstanding Player in the BIG EAST Tournament.

Georgetown was picked second in the poll for a second straight season. The Hoyas, who picked up 70 points in the poll, tied Butler for second place last year with a 12-6 league record. They finished 22-11 overall and advanced to the third round of the NCAA Tournament. This season, the Hoyas will look to senior guard D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera, who averaged 16.3 ppg while earning a spot on the All-BIG EAST First Team. Coach John Thompson III also received impressive contributions from a group of freshmen, including forwards L.J. Peak and Isaac Copeland, both of whom made the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team.

Butler finished just behind Georgetown in the poll in third place with 67 points. The Bulldogs, who were tied for seventh in last year’s poll, also made it to the third round of the NCAA Tournament last season and finished 23-11. Coach Chris Holtmann should feel comfortable building around guard Kellen Dunham and forward Roosevelt Jones. Dunham, one of the BIG EAST’s top shooters, is the league’s top returning scorer with a 16.5 average. He was an All-BIG EAST First Team pick. Jones is a versatile performer who averaged 12.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists.

Xavier was slotted for fourth place with 55 points. The Musketeers have made the NCAA Tournament in each of their first two seasons of the BIG EAST. Last year, they advanced farther in the NCAAs than any league team by making the West Region semifinals, Xavier’s fifth appearance in the Sweet 16 in the last eight seasons. The Musketeers were 23-14 overall. This year, coach Chris Mack can turn to three returning starters, including All-BIG EAST Rookie selection Trevon Bluiett, guard Remy Abell and forward James Farr. Junior forward Jalen Reynolds was a top reserve who averaged 9.9 points and 6.1 rebounds.

Providence finished fifth in the poll with 45 points. The Friars will build around junior guard Kris Dunn, the 2015-16 Preseason BIG EAST Player of the Year. Last year, he shared BIG EAST Player of the Year honors with Villanova’s Arcidiacono. Dunn also won BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year honors. He is the first player in the history of the league to garner Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year accolades in the same season.

Dunn averaged 15.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and a league-leading 7.5 assists and 2.7 steals.

Coach Ed Cooley will assemble a supporting cast that will include forward Ben Bentil and guard Jalen Lindsey who earned starting duty as freshmen.

Marquette finished just behind Providence in the poll with 44 points. The optimism for the Golden Eagles is focused on coach Steve Wojociechowski’s highly rated recruiting class.

Freshmen forward Henry Ellenson, also a preseason All-BIG EAST Second Team selection, is expected to make an immediate impact along with a few of his classmates. Guard Duane Wilson and center Luke Fischer established themselves as solid starters in their first seasons at Marquette. Wilson made the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team after averaging 11.9 points which led all freshmen in the league.

Fischer averaged 11.0 points, 4.8 points and 2.2 blocked shots.

Seton Hall was picked seventh with 27 points. The Pirates finished 16-15 last year with a lineup that included several freshmen.

Forward Angel Delgado was the BIG EAST Rookie of the Year after averaging 9.8 points and 10.5 rebounds. He won the BIG EAST rebounding crown by averaging 10.7 boards in league games. Guard Isaiah Whitehead made the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team after averaging 12.0 points and 3.9 rebounds. Guard Khadeen Carrington, another freshman, was in coach Kevin Willard’s guard rotation and averaged 8.8 points.

First-place votes in parentheses.

DePaul was picked eighth in the poll with 25 points. Coach Dave Leitao returns for his second stint with the Blue Demons. He had a successful three-year run from 2002-05 which included an NCAA Tournament berth.

His 2015-16 squad will feature three returning double-figure scorers. Guard Billy Garrett, Jr., the BIG EAST Rookie of the Year two seasons ago, averaged 12.3 points and 3.9 assists last year. Forward Myke Henry averaged 12.0 points and a team-high 5.4 rebounds. Forward Tommy Hamilton IV posted averages of 10.0 points and 5.3 boards.

Creighton was placed ninth in the poll with 23 points. Last year, the Bluejays were expected to be in a regrouping mode after the Doug McDernott era concluded. They were certainly competitive, but the Bluejays absorbed four one-point losses and lost five more games by between two and four points. Coach Greg McDermott will be able to plug in two transfers who are expected to contribute immediately, guard Maurice Watson, Jr. and forward Cole Huff. Forward Toby Hegner enjoyed a strong freshman season by averaging 6.7 points and 3.4 rebounds.

St. John’s finished 10th in the poll with 13 points. Chris Mullin, one of St. John’s and the BIG EAST’s greatest players, starts his first year as a head coach. His first Red Storm squad will bear no resemblance to last year’s senior-laden team that finished 21-12 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. No starters return and Mullin will construct a lineup built around a group of transfers and freshmen.

BULLDOGS PREVIEW The Big Picture Butler started last season picked in a tie for seventh in the coaches’ preseason poll and with Chris Holtmann as its interim head coach. In early January, Holtmann was named permanent head coach. By the end of the year, the Bulldogs finished 23-11 overall and tied for second in the BIG EAST with a 12-6 mark. Butler had five wins against top 25 teams, matching the highest total in school history. The Bulldogs’ climb from a 4-14 BIG EAST mark two seasons ago to 12-6 tied the fourth best turnaround in BIG EAST history. Butler was ranked No. 23 in the final USA Today poll and No. 24 in the final AP poll. With three starters returning, the Bulldogs expect to be BIG EAST contenders again.

Who’s Back: Guard Kellen Dunham, one of the BIG EAST’s top scorers, was third in the league in scoring at 16.5 ppg, which earned him All-BIG EAST First Team honors. The senior is the league’s top returning scorer. Dunham ranked third in 3-pointers made per game (2.3) and was fourth in 3-point shooting at 41.0 percent. Forward Roosevelt Jones is an all-around contributor who always makes the smart play. He averaged 12.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists. Jones was second in the BIG EAST in minutes played (35.5). Andrew Chrabascz is a 6-7 junior forward who is comfortable near the basket or taking a perimeter jumper. He averaged 11.2 points and 3.6 boards. Also on hand are forwards Kelan Martin (7.1 points and 2.1 rebounds), Tyler Wideman (2.3, 2.6), Austin Etherington (2.3, 2.1) and Jackson Davis (0.9, 1.4).

[ 28 ] 2015-16 BIG EAST Media Guide

Who’s Gone: Two important starters need to be replaced. Forward Kameron Woods, who led the BIG EAST in rebounding in all games with a 9.9 average, and point guard Alex Barlow, the BIG EAST Basketball Scholar-Athlete award winner, picked up their diplomas. Woods also averaged 7.8 points.

Barlow averaged 8.9 points, 4.0 rebounds and tied the school record with 74 steals. He also won the BIG EAST Sportsmanship Award.

Storylines: Tyler Lewis, a transfer from N.C. State, is penciled in to replace Barlow at the point. He was the starter on the Wolfpack’s NCAA squad two seasons ago. Jordan Gathers, a graduate transfer from St. Bonaventure, will help off the bench mostly at the off-guard. Wideman may have the edge for the open starting position in the frontcourt. Six-ten freshman Nate Fowler will try to wedge his way into the rotation. Sean McDermott, a 6-6 freshman wing, also will push to be noticed. The Bulldogs appear to have the pieces in place for another very strong season.

BLUEJAYS PREVIEW The Big Picture The Bluejays were in an expected retooling mode last year after the magnificent Doug McDermott era ended.

They continued their emphasis on strong perimeter play last season (five players made at least 43 3-pointers) and were much more competitive than their 14-19 record indicates. The Bluejays suffered four one-point losses and lost five more games between two and four points. Coach Greg McDermott has only one true returning starter, but he’s got many other experienced choices for his starting lineup. He can plug in a pair of quality transfers who figure to contribute immediately along with a group that includes five freshmen and a junior college hopeful.

Who’s Back: Forward Toby Hegner, a 6-10 sophomore, averaged 6.7 points and 3.4 rebounds while starting 28 games as a rookie. Junior guard Isaiah Zierden, a sharp perimeter shooter, averaged 9.5 points until going down with a knee injury in February. Guard James Milliken finished strong last season and averaged 9.6 points for the year.

Center Geoffrey Groselle was a valuable reserve last year while averaging 5.4 points and 2.5 rebounds. Zach Hanson, a 6-9 forward, averaged 11.5 minutes per game and averaged 3.8 points and 2.4 rebounds.

[ 32 ] 2015-16 BIG EAST Media Guide

Who’s Gone: Point guard Austin Chatman, who started every game for the past three seasons, has graduated. Last year, he led the team with an 11.5 scoring average and a 3.7 assist mark.

Forward Rick Kreklow averaged 7.5 points and was a dependable 3-point shooter. Center Will Artino made 16 starts and averaged 6.1 points and 4.7 rebounds. Guard Devin Brooks also started 16 times while averaging 7.8 points and a team-leading 5.0 rebounds. Guard Avery Dingman averaged 4.1 points in 17 starts.

Storylines: Point guard Mo Watson Jr. and 6-8 forward Cole Huff are the two transfers who figure to play immediately.

Both are juniors. The Bluejays are expected to have Isaiah Zierden back from his knee surgery. The continued progress of Milliken should help fortify the backcourt where junior college transfer Malik Albert along with freshmen Khyri Thomas Ronnie Harrell, Jr. may find their way into the rotation.

Closer to the basket, Groselle figures to support Huff and Hegner with freshmen Martin Krampelj and Justin Patton pushing to be noticed.

BLUE DEMONS PREVIEW The Big Picture New head coach Dave Leitao returns to DePaul where he had a successful three-year run from 2002-05. He is the last coach to lead the Blue Demons to the NCAA Tournament.

Leitao’s first team in his second DePaul tenure features three-double figure scorers back from last year and three reserves who played between 13 and 17 minutes per game last year.

His group of six newcomers will give the Blue Demons some needed size.

Who’s Back: Guard Billy Garrett, Jr. was an AllBIG EAST Honorable Mention selection last year after averaging 12.3 points and 3.9 assists. Two seasons ago, he was the BIG EAST Rookie of the Year. In his first season with the Blue Demons after transferring from Illinois, forward Myke Henry averaged 12.0 points and a teamhigh 5.4 rebounds. Forward Tommy Hamilton IV returns for his junior year after averaging 10.0 points and 5.3 boards. Forward Rashaun Stimage and guard Aaron Simpson, a pair of junior college transfers, helped last season by averaging 4.9 and 4.8 ppg, respectively. Guard Darrick Wood, also a newcomer last year, averaged 4.3 points coming off the bench.

[ 36 ] 2015-16 BIG EAST Media Guide

Who’s Gone The Blue Demons lost one full-time starter and two part-time starters.

Guard Jamee Crockett, a solid 3-point shooting threat, averaged 11.9 points and was the team’s third leading scorer. He led the team in minutes played (31.0 per game). Forward Forest Robinson averaged 6.4 points and 3.2 rebounds while making 12 starts. Guard Durrell McDonald averaged 23.9 minutes per game while starting 21 games. He averaged 4.3 points.

Storylines: Leitao can look to Garrett, Jr. to be a steadying floor leader. Henry and Hamilton IV should be solid contributors at forward. Newcomers in the frontcourt should get some opportunity to contribute immediately. Six-ten Oumar Barry, 6-9 Develle Phillips and 6-7 Frederick Scott—all freshmen— are the frontcourt hopefuls. Freshman guards Eli Cain and Erten Gazi could help right away. Cain can play either guard spot and Gazi brings international experience playing for the Turkish junior national team. Some continued progress shown by Stimage, Simpson and Wood would help the Blue Demons become a deeper and stronger squad.

HOYAS PREVIEW The Big Picture The Hoyas got back into the NCAA Tournament last year and advanced to the third round. It was Georgetown’s eighth NCAA bid in 11 seasons under coach John Thompson III. The Hoyas finished 22-11 overall, tied for second place in the BIG EAST with a 12-6 mark and were No. 22 in the final Associated Press poll. The backcourt of D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera and Jabril Trawick gave the team a quality dose of offense, defense and leadership.

Who’s Back: Smith-Rivera was a first team AllBIG EAST selection after averaging 16.3 points and shooting 38.7 percent from 3-point range. His 85.5 percentage from the foul line ranked second in the BIG EAST. He also averaged 4.2 rebounds. Three freshmen forwards showed plenty of promise last year. L.J. Peak averaged 7.9 points and was a regular starter. Isaac Copeland averaged 6.8 points and 3.8 rebounds. Both made the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team. Paul White averaged 5.0 points and shot 37.7 percent from beyond the arc. Another rookie, Tre Campbell, averaged 3.4 points as a reserve point guard. Forwards Reggie Cameron and Trey Mourning will help the frontcourt depth.

[ 40 ] 2015-16 BIG EAST Media Guide

Who’s Gone: Trawick was a defensive standout who also averaged 9.1 points. His statistics and leadership will be missed.

Center Joshua Smith averaged 10.8 points and 5.8 rebounds while shooting 62.1 percent from the floor. Mikael Hopkins, a defensive and rebounding stalwart, averaged 5.1 points and 5.8 rebounds. He also blocked 52 shots.

Aaron Bowen was a valuable reserve at forward, averaging 5.6 points.

Storylines: Smith-Rivera enters his senior season as one of the league’s top players and again will assume a leadership role.

Freshman center Jesse Govan figures to be a strong contender for an open starting spot. Senior Bradley Hayes, who saw very limited action during the regular season, blossomed in the NCAA Tournament and will compete at center. With the continued improvement of last year’s freshmen class and some contributions from some of the newcomers, the Hoyas should be poised for another excellent season.

GOLDEN EAGLES PREVIEW The Big Picture Marquette’s second season under coach Steve Wojciechowski will be filled with optimism as the Golden Eagles welcome a very highly regarded recruiting class to go along with a pair of returning starters and some experienced reserves. Guard Duane Wilson and center Luke Fischer established themselves as solid starters in their first seasons at MU. The Golden Eagles want to return to the postseason for the first time since their Elite Eight run in 2012-13.

Who’s Back: Guard Duane Wilson made the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team after averaging 11.9 points which led all freshmen in the league. He ranked first in the BIG EAST in assist/turnover radio at 2.92.

Center Luke Fischer averaged 11.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks after becoming eligible after the first semester. He was fifth in the BIG EAST in field goal shooting, making 60.9 percent was fourth in blocked shots. Junior guard Jajuan Johnson returns after averaging 7.9 points mostly on the wing. Another perimeter performer, Sandy Cohen III, averaged 3.8 points as a freshman.

[ 44 ] 2015-16 BIG EAST Media Guide

Who’s Gone: Three starters were lost. Guard Matt Carlino averaged a team-leading 15.0 points and shot 41.9 percent 3-point range as a one-year graduate transfer. His scoring average ranked seventh in the BIG EAST and he led the league with 83 3-point baskets.

Derrick Wilson averaged 5.6 points, 4.7 assists and 3.9 rebounds as a reliable point guard. Forward Juan Anderson averaged 8.3 points and 5.7 rebounds. Reserve forward Steve Taylor, Jr. averaged 5.9 points and 5.0 boards.

Storylines: Some members of the heralded recruiting class figure to grab starting positions. Forward Henry Ellenson is the most highly touted newcomer and will play power forward. The point guard position could be a battle between freshmen Haanif Cheatham and Traci Carter. Wilson will play the other guard spot, though he can also slide to the point. Wilson and Fischer give the Golden Eagles a solid base.

How effectively the newcomers can mesh with the returnees may decide how far Marquette moves up in the standings.

FRIARS PREVIEW The Big Picture Coach Ed Cooley guided his Friar team to its second straight NCAA berth last year, the first time PC has been in consecutive NCAA Tournaments since 1989-90. The Friars finished 22-12 and 11-7 in the BIG EAST. While the Friars lost a few key components of last year’s success, the optimism for this season starts with guard Kris Dunn who shared BIG EAST Player of the Year honors with Villanova’s Ryan Arcidiacono and BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year honors with St. John’s Sir’Dominic Pointer. As Cooley assembles his cast around Dunn he has a few sophomore options who showed some promise as rookies and some talented newcomers.

Who’s Back: Dunn figures to be one of the top players in the BIG EAST, if not the country. He is the first guard in the history of the BIG EAST to earn Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year recognition in the same season.

Last year, he averaged 15.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, a league-leading 7.5 assists and 2.7 steals. His assist and steal averages led the BIG EAST. Dunn was third nationally in assists and fifth in steals. Forward Ben Bentil is back after starting 23 games as a freshman. He averaged 6.4 points and 4.9 rebounds. Guard Jalen Lindsey averaged 3.8 points while making 13 starts in his rookie season. Guard Kyron Cartwright averaged 18.8 minutes and 3.5 points. Junior forward Junior Lomomba, a defensive specialist, also made 13 starts and averaged 1.7 points.

[ 48 ] 2015-16 BIG EAST Media Guide

Who’s Gone Forward LaDontae Henton, the team’s top scorer and an All-BIG EAST First Team selection, averaged a leagueleading 19.7 points and 6.5 rebounds.

He was first in the BIG EAST in playing time, averaging 37.0 minutes per game. Center Carson Desrosiers averaged 6.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.5 blocks. His blocked shot average ranked second in the league. Forward Tyler Harris was an effective scorer in a sixth man role, averaging 9.9 points.

Storylines: Dunn is a do-it-all type of player. Last year, he became the 14th player in BIG EAST history to record a tripledouble in a league game. Cooley’s team will be young with no seniors on the roster. Bentil is a promising frontcourt performer. Six-eight Rodney Bullock, who missed all of last season with a knee injury, will have a chance to fit his way into the frontcourt rotation. In the backcourt, Lindsey, Cartwright and Lomomba should see their minutes increase. Four freshmen should get ample opportunity to contribute: forward Quadree Smith and guards Drew Edwards, Ryan Fazekas and Ricky Council II.

RED STORM PREVIEW The Big Picture Chris Mullin, one of the legendary players in St. John’s and BIG EAST history, has returned to his alma mater to be the head coach after a successful career in the NBA as a player and front office executive. A member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, his hiring has energized the St. John’s community. Mullin’s first Red Storm team won’t bear any resemblance to last year’s squad as newcomers dominate the roster. The new faces will include a mix of graduate transfers, a junior college transfer and some freshmen.

Who’s Back: The Red Storm have only three players back from last year’s squad, all reserves. Guard Felix Balamou played in 22 games and made three starts.

He averaged 1.3 points. Six-nine forward Amar Alibegovic played just over eight minutes per game as a freshman and averaged 1.5 points and 1.5 rebounds. Christian Jones, a 6-7 junior, averaged 1.2 points and 1.2 boards while seeing action in 20 games.

[ 52 ] 2015-16 BIG EAST Media Guide

Who’s Gone: Sir’Dominic Pointer, an NBA Draft choice, averaged 13.5 points and 7.6 rebounds. He was named BIG EAST Most Improved Player and shared BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year honors. D’Angelo Harrison made AllBIG EAST First Team after averaging 17.4 points. Guard Phil Greene IV was a 1,000-point scorer who averaged 13.2 points last year. Chris Obekpa, the BIG EAST’s blocked shot leader for the past three seasons, transferred. Last year, he averaged 5.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.1 blocks.

Guard Rysheed Jordan decided to pursue a professional career after playing two seasons. He averaged 14.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists last year.

Storylines: Mullin is working with nearly a blank canvas in terms of player experience in the program, but he has some talented options. Graduate transfer Durand Johnson from Pittsburgh is an experienced 6-6 guard. Other frontcourt candidates include 6-11 freshman Yankuba Sima, 6-8 junior college transfer Darien Williams and 6-7 freshman Kassoum Yakwe. Highly regarded freshman Marcus LoVett, Jr. may be a strong contender to start at point guard. Other candidates in the backcourt are 6-6 Ron Mvouika, a 6-6 graduate transfer from Missouri State, and freshmen Federico Mussini and Malik Ellison.

PIRATES PREVIEW The Big Picture Last year, the Pirates got through the first half of their BIG EAST schedule with a 5-4 record, but they slipped in the second half and settled with a 6-12 league mark and a 16-15 record overall. Last season’s heralded freshman recruiting class is back with a year of seasoning under its belt and coach Kevin Willard expects two graduate transfers to provide some immediate experienced help as Seton Hall attempts to move up in the standings.

Who’s Back: Angel Delgado and Isaiah Whitehead were part of the top-level recruiting class and both enjoyed strong seasons. Delgado, a 6-9 forward, was named BIG EAST Rookie of the Year after averaging 9.8 points and 5.0 rebounds. He won the BIG EAST rebounding crown by averaging 10.7 boards in league games. Whitehead, the BIG EAST Preseason Rookie of the Year, overcame a foot injury in the middle of the season and averaged 12.0 points and 3.9 rebounds.

Khadeen Carrington was in the guard rotation last year and averaged 8.8 points. Desi Rodriguez, a 6-6 forward, played 16.6 minutes per game and averaged 5.6 points and 4.5 rebounds. He’ll be a candidate to start at the small forward spot. Sixseven Ismael Sanogo and 6-9 Rashed Anthony saw limited action, but may see increased playing time.

Who’s Gone: Sterling Gibbs, who led the team in scoring (16.9) and assists (3.8), left as a graduate transfer. He was second in the BIG EAST in 3-point shooting, hitting 43.6 percent. He made All-BIG EAST Second Team. Senior forward Brandon Mobley was a dependable contributor and averaged 9.8 points and 5.0 rebounds. Guard Haralds Karlis (3.3) and forward Stephane Manga (2.6, 1.5) average just over 12 minutes per game coming off the bench.

Storylines: Guard Derrick Gordon and forward Braeden Anderson are the graduate transfers who will add some experience to the lineup. Gordon is a versatile performer who averaged 9.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists at Massachusetts. He is a 1,000point scorer. The 6-9 Anderson will offer some immediate support near the basket. He started 14 games last season at Fresno State and averaged 2.1 points and 2.4 rebounds. A native of Alberta, he was named Mr. Canada Basketball in 2011. Willard will work to mesh this group of seniors and sophomores. The freshman class includes guard-forward Veer Singh, guard Dalton Soffer and forwards Myles Carter and Michael Nzei.

WILDCATS PREVIEW The Big Picture The Wildcats are coming off a 33-3 season, a No. 2 ranking in the final AP poll, and BIG EAST regular-season and Tournament championships. The 33 wins were the most in school history. Villanova has posted consecutive 16-2 records in the last two years of league play. Coach Jay Wright won his second straight BIG EAST Coach of the Year award and his fourth overall. The Wildcats have only two starters returning for 2015-16, but they appear to have some important reserves ready to assume larger roles to go along with a few heralded freshmen.

Who’s Back: Senior Ryan Arcidiacono returns after sharing BIG EAST Player of the Year honors with Providence’s Kris Dunn last year. Arcidiacono averaged 10.1 points and was second in the BIG EAST in assist/turnover ratio at 2.7.

He’s been the team captain since the middle of his freshman season.

Forward Daniel Ochefu, another senior, averaged 9.2 points and 8.5 rebounds in only 24.0 minutes per contest. He shot 64.4 percent from the floor. Junior guard Josh Hart was the BIG EAST Sixth Man of the Year after averaging 10.1 points and 4.5 rebounds. He also won the Dave Gavitt Trophy as the Most Outstanding Player in the BIG EAST Tournament. Guard Phil Booth was a capable reserve with a 5.8 scoring mark. Forward Kris

Jenkins, a 6-6 junior, averaged 6.3 points in 18.6 minutes per game.

Forward Darryl Reynolds and redshirt freshman Mikal Bridges will be looking to increase their playing time.

Who’s Gone: Darrun Hilliard, a three-year starter, will be missed. A unanimous AllBIG EAST Team selection, the 6-6 guard averaged a team-leading 14.3 points which included 79 3-pointers.

Forward JayVaughn Pinkston was a force inside and a four-year starter. He averaged 9.7 points and 5.4 rebounds last season. Guard Dylan Ennis averaged 9.7 points and 3.7 rebounds while starting all 36 games.

He departed as a graduate transfer to Oregon.

Storylines: The Wildcats appear poised for another outstanding season. In addition to some top reserves from last year stepping into more significant roles, the Wildcats have some freshmen who could make an immediate impact.

Jalen Brunson, who helped the USA Basketball U-19 team win a gold medal at the World Championships over the summer, is expected to make a strong run at the open guard slot.

Six-nine Tim Delaney and 6-5 guard Donte DiVincenzo are also pushing to be noticed. Villanova will be aiming for its third straight outright BIG EAST regular season title.

MUSKETEERS PREVIEW The Big Picture The 2014-15 Musketeer season ended in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament, an impressive accomplishment, though certainly not unfamiliar territory for the program.

Xavier has made the Sweet 16 five times in the last eight seasons, one of only nine teams that have done that in Division I. The Musketeers finished 23-14 overall, 9-9 in BIG EAST play and reached the championship game of the BIG EAST Tournament. Coach Chris Mack’s 2015-16 squad includes three returning starters and seven other returnees to go along with three newcomers.

Who’s Back: Sophomore Trevon Bluiett, a BIG EAST All-Rookie Team pick last year, is the team’s top returning scorer at 11.0 ppg. The other returning starters are seniors, 6-4 guard Remy Abell and 6-10 forward James Farr.

Abell averaged 8.4 points and played outstanding defense. Farr, an effective rebounder, averaged 4.2 points and 5.3 boards. Junior Myles Davis figures to take the open starting spot at guard after averaging 10.6 points last season. He also led the BIG EAST in free throw shooting, making 87.2 percent. Jalen Reynolds, a 6-10 junior forward, averaged 9.9 points and 6.1 rebounds. He finished strong last season, making the BIG EAST AllTournament Team and averaging 12.0 ppg in six postseason games. Six-five

[ 64 ] 2015-16 BIG EAST Media Guide

guard J.P. Macura is a good perimeter shooter who averaged 5.4 points as a freshman. Classmates Larry Austin, Jr., a guard, and 6-10 Sean O’Mara showed promise.

Who’s Gone: Center Matt Stainbrook and guard Dee Davis, the only returning starters on last year’s team, have graduated.

Stainbrook, an All-BIG EAST Second Team pick, led the team with a 12.3 scoring average and a 6.9 rebounding mark. Davis was the savvy point guard who averaged 9.9 points and ranked second in the BIG EAST in assists with a 6.0 mark.

Storylines: Mack wants his squad to continue its share-the-ball mentality, but get stronger overall on the defensive end.

Last year, the Musketeers ranked 10th nationally in assists with a 16.1 average and tied for fourth in the BIG EAST in scoring defense, allowing 68.8 points. Xavier traditionally leans on its seniors for leadership and Mack expects Abell and Farr to show the way. Three newcomers hope to see some significant playing time, though it will probably be as reserves.

Guard Edmond Sumner and forward Makinde London are both redshirt freshmen who benefitted from a year of practice with the team. Forward Kaiser Gates, a 6-8 forward, brings all-around skills.r.

BIG EAST Hosts Freshmen Fundamentals In mid-September the BIG EAST brought its incoming freshman class to New York City for a twoday Freshman Fundamentals program. The players had an agenda that featured five panel discussions, from one of former BIG EAST players to one on working with the various types of media to one called: “Etiquette and Personal Brand Presentation.”

Thirty-nine freshmen from all 10-member schools attended.

Freshmen Fundamentals was designed to assist men’s basketball student-athletes in the transition from high school to college and the elite level of BIG EAST basketball. The panels included former conference players and a broadcast presentation by executives from BIG EAST television partner FOX Sports.

The first panel discussion was one on etiquette, personal branding and how to create a positive image in a variety of campus and social settings.

A panel of former players was hosted by Tarik Turner, a St. John’s standout guard who is now an analyst for FOX Sports, and included a pair of former Georgetown players—Greg Monroe, of the Milwaukee Bucks, and Georgetown’s Director of Basketball Operations Patrick Ewing Jr.—as well as former Villanova guard Randy Foye, of the Denver Nuggets.

That was followed by a media training session. Additionally, the players were taken to the 9/11 Memorial and had an inside tour of Madison Square Garden.

Madison Square Garden: Home of the BIG EAST Tournament Memorable games, legendary coaches and players, along with the New York City stage, have made The BIG EAST Tournament at Madison Square Garden one of the great events in college sports. The Garden has hosted the tourney since 1983, making the BIG EAST Tournament the longest running postseason tournament at the same venue.

The BIG EAST began competion in 1979-80 and its postseason basketball tournament quickly grabbed the attention of college basketball fans.

After three seasons in different cities, the event moved to New York where college basketball fans flock every March.

Last year’s memories include Villanova winning its second tournament title in program history. The top-seeded Wildcats, who were also the BIG EAST regular-season champs, defeated No. 6 seed Xavier in the championship game. Wildcat reserve guard Josh Hart won the Dave Gavitt Trophy as the Most Outstanding Player. He was the first non-starter in league history to earn Most Outstanding Player honors.
