In a coaches' poll in the Big East, Syracuse and UConn tied for first place among voting. UConn has three starters returning to the team this year including sophomore guard Jeremy Lamb and junior forward Alex Oriakhi, along with preseason rookie of the year Andre Drummond. Syracuse returns junion Scoop Jardine who led the conference in assists last season.
Pittsburgh only got one first place vote, and have senior guard Ashton Gibbs returning to the team this year. While Pittsburgh and Syracuse are leaving for the ACC, conference commissioner John Marinatto, stated on October 18th that the conference intends to hold both schools to the league's 27-month notification rule which would mean keeping them in the league for the next two years.
