Happenings from Big East Media Day

Greetings from Newport!

An odd thing happened today -- the Huskies were respected. In the past, UConn was generally dismissed by the voting media, but this year was different. UConn finished fourth in the poll, its highest finish ever.

Here are the results with first-place votes in parenthesis:
1. Pittsburgh (22) 190
2. Cincinnati 142
West Virginia (1) 142
4. UConn (1) 131
5. Rutgers 99
6. South Florida 79
7. Syracuse 41
8. Louisville 40

Usually the Huskies say things such as they are insulted and have a chip on their shoulder. But this year it was more about living up to the expectations and exceeding them.
