Seton Hall nips #20 USC

This was something I definitely didn't see coming. Seton Hall was projected to finish #13 out of 16 in the Big East. Yet, they went down to Puerto Rico and defeated #20 USC by 2 points. It is not farfetched to possibly see 10 teams coming out of the Big East and going to the NCAA Tournament. I did not get a chance to watch this game, so I won't be able to comment on the game or the players of Seton Hall, but I'm sure to catch a few Seton Hall games, thanks to my DirecTV ESPN Full Court package. Seton Hall is now 3-0, and we will see what they do in the next few games.

Another team to watch out for in the Big East is Providence. After underperforming again with Coach Tim Welsh, the Friars went out and got Keno Davis, formerly of Drake. While Providence lost their first game to Northeastern, I believe this team will start gelling around late January and February and become dangerous, once they learn Davis' system. The Friars return senior Geoff McDermott, who I believe is capable of a double-double every night at 6'8" and 235 pounds.
