On the air

Any fans who want to check out Big East media day which is being held Thursday in New York now have an option courtesy of video from BIGEASTTV.com.

Speaking of television, the entire ESPN women's basketball schedule was released on Wednesday. UConn will have seven regular-season games televised on either ESPN (Nov. 30 vs. Oklahoma), ESPN2 (Jan. 19 at North Carolina, Jan. 26 vs. Louisville, Feb. 15 vs. Pittsburgh, Mar. 2 at Rutgers) and ESPNU (Dec. 14 Maggie Dixon Classic against Penn State, Feb. 22 vs. Notre Dame).

Back to the Big East media day, if I had a vote it would look something like this
1. UConn
2. Rutgers
3. Louisville
4. Pittsburgh
5. Notre Dame
6. Syracuse
7. Marquette
8. DePaul
9. Villanova
10. West Virginia
11. South Florida
12. St. John's
13. Cincinnati
14. Seton Hall
15. Providence
16. Georgetown

Preseason All-Big East
Ashley Barlow, Notre Dame, Jr.
Tina Charles, UConn, Jr.
Krystal Ellis, Marquette, Sr.
Shantia Grace, South Florida, Sr.
Angel McCoughtry, Louisville, Sr.
Renee Montgomery, UConn, Sr.
Erica Morrow, Syracuse, So.
Maya Moore, UConn, So.
Deirdre Naughton, DePaul, Jr.
Epiphanny Prince, Rutgers, Jr.
Kia Vaughn, Rutgers, Sr.
Shavonte Zellous, Pittsburgh, Sr.

Player of the Year: Maya Moore, UConn, So.
Rookie of the Year: Elena Delle Donne, UConn, Fr. OK, just kidding. Although I think UConn's Caroline Doty and Tiffany Hayes could make runs at the award, looking to opportunities to shine from day one, I will go with April Sykes of Rutgers even though classmate Jasmine Dixon was clearly the more impressive player when I saw them both at the USA Basketball national team trials in Colorado.
