Seton Hall, St. John's, UConn, Nova, and Xavier have all released their schedules. Travel Partners for 2024 appear to be Connecticut/Providence Georgetown/Seton Hall St. John's/Villanova Creighton/Marquette Xavier/DePaul Leaving Butler to themselves. Edit: I imagine that they'll rotate the team with no travel partner from year to year.

It looks like they matched up travel partners based on level without leaving the two regions. That Creighton/Marquette weekend will be a beast for everyone else. Georgetown/Seton Hall may be a sneaky tough weekend as well. Does being the outlier benefit Butler? Doesn't that mean they play every team the week they play their travel partner?

Villanova and Xavier with solid schedules as well. Looking at Creighton and Marquette’s schedules this way is crazy! So many high RPI matchups.
Also important to note, UCONN, Georgetown, etc are doing their job as well scheduling likely wins. The more W’s the league has going into conference play, the better every Big East team benefits.

I know Sis was injured for a bit last season, but why wouldn’t they vote the reigning Big East POY Wait as the preseason one as well? She very much deserved POY regardless if Sis was healthy the whole year.

I feel DePaul might be better than St. John’s this year.

I feel DePaul might be better than St. John’s this year. DePaul needs to fix their ?? BEast losses. You can toss in a random Seton Hall game against them (pain) STJ finally has some pin depth. I swear they only played Lodi and Walther last year (and made Erin pass a bit?) I dont know either of the Brazilians but maybe they can help with passing.

I swear they only played Lodi and Walther last year (and made Erin pass a bit?) I dont know either of the Brazilians but maybe they can help with passing. That’s exactly what I thinking about DePaul! They just lose games that they absolutely shouldn’t lose. I think they’re more experienced now so they should be more consistent. Yeah I don’t know what to think about St John’s, the Brazilians are an X factor right now which makes me feel DePaul might be ahead. But they’ve made it work last year when they had zero depth so who knows.

The “DePaul issue” has more to do with how tight 3-7 are in the Big East. That and relying so heavily on one pin makes every team susceptible to a rough game now and then. The only loss that surprised me from last year was Georgetown.

DePaul should have a good year - mature and experienced (Pressly, Krasowski) and some good adds.
