With only two Big East teams still alive in the post-season, it's time to give each program a final grade for the 2006-2007 season. Grades are based primarily on each team's record/performance during the season, with secondary consideration given to how its performance related to pre-season expectations. The Report Card is divided into two parts, the bottom half of the teams (up today), and the top half (up tomorrow).
Big East Report Card: Bottom Eight DePaul: The Blue Demons were the third team tied for seventh in the conference with a 9-7 record. However, Coach Jerry Wainwright's squad had the lowest RPI of the trio, significantly lower than Villanova's, which is why the Wildcats received an invitation to the Big Dance and DePaul didn't. The reality is that the Demons were probably the ninth best team in the conference, which happens to be right where I'd placed them in my pre-season predictions.Saturday, June 23, 2007
