Creighton is probably gonna sweep the Big East. I don't see any other team challenging them for the top spot. It should be an interesting season, as a lot of the top players in the conference have either graduated or transferred. I wouldn't be surprised to see St. John's make a run towards the top of the conference with Palgutova leading the way I agree, they also picked up a pretty high impact freshman from Italy. Cast and Karkkainen at 6'4' both improved in the off-season too, should be interesting team to watch.

I could definitely see St. Johns possibly cracking into the top four next season.

Creighton is definitely gong to be in first place and as of now Marquette looks to take that second place spot. I think St. Johns could possibly take that third place spot, but at this point that spot is up for grabs.

No you can't vote for yourself, so creighton voted for Marquette.

Creighton and Marquette definitely 1 and 2, no argument there. 3, 4 and 5 could be a total crap shoot....regular season matches should be fun to watch when St. Johns, Butler and Xavier play each other. 9/25 mark your calendar St. John's vs Butler then 9/26 vs. Xavier.

Marquette has A LOT of new pieces from last year. While I would probably vote them #2, I think they're much more likely to finish 5th than 1st. They lost 76% of their kills, 59% of their assists and 48% of their digs from 2014 to graduation/transfers. The incoming players are certainly thought highly of, but there is always some uncertainty when you're going to rely so heavily on new players.

Going to make the regular season all the more exciting!! Can't wait

Marquette is definitely going to be a step down from last year. But right now, in my opinion, there isn't really another clear number 2 team in the Big East right now.
Can't wait for season!

Marquette lost a ton with the transfers of the 3 B's: Bailey, Barber and Benda. (What's going on in Milwaukee?). I'd be surprised if the Eagles finish 2nd. On the other hand, Seton Hall lost a ton as well, and Xavier lost their coach. Creighton returns an experienced defense, but other than Jess Bird all the hitters are frosh. So even Creighton has its weakness, though I expect them to finish 1st with Butler or St. John's in 2nd.
