Sounds like Shaka will be up next.

First thing I thought of when I saw the pre-season all conference teams. Only one first and one third teamer for UConn.

Lol at Ashworth getting on any All BE team, and Kalk geting BEPOY.

Not sure why Kalk as BEPOY is lol funny at all.

He is the obvious pick.........doesn't mean he will win but he is certainly worthy of the accolade.

One of the more overrated players in the BE I can remember.  He's a good player.  But if he's your best player, your team probably has a lower ceiling than a program like Creighton would like.

I'd easily take anyone on the First Team over him, plus a few other BE players.  He was Creighton's 3rd best player last year and 4th best 2 years ago.  If Creighton is a BE championship contender this year, they'll need Pop Isaac to be better than Kalk.

Asking Stevie Mitchell about being passed over for Defensive Player of the Year last season

Kam Jones from the corner: 'Bullcrap'

Kalk is one of the most if not the most overrated players of the new big east.

Travesty he's got 3 D player of year awards as his opposing centers drop 30 on him multiple times in a year.

7'1 and using year 5. Yeah, really well rounded

True, true.

[MuMark]

Kalk is an excellent player who is well worthy of the respect shown him by the coaches and media members.

17.6 points a game with a 129 ortg.......and great defensive big that makes his teammates better.

[MU82]

No love for Jop. He's gonna make 'em pay!

Sweet.  His teammates set him up at the rim a bunch and he finishes well when that happens.

I hope he's Creighton's best player.  If so, I think we should finish above them in the BE.

Sheldon Cooper sux

First thing I thought of
What? MU only fourth, and UCONN continues to dominate?
Is MU slipping further behind UCONN?
Surely that can't be.

Yes.  How is it possible Marquette is not at UCONN's level?  So many programs are right there with UCONN, but somehow Marquette is not.  SAD!

This poetry sucks.

The same Jolp who was 2-10 FG, including 0-7 on 3FG, and shot us out of the game, the last time we took the court? 

I've been waiting 3 years to see some consistency from him.  I 'd be happy as heck to see him make 'em pay, but realistically don't expect to see it this year either.
