Notebook BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Championship Attendance For the eighth-consecutive year, the BIG EAST Conference led all leagues in women’s basketball conference tournament attendance.

Also, for the third-straight year, the championship game had over 10,000 fans in attendance.

BIG EAST Represented in World University Games Win Skylar Diggins with Terri Williams-Flournoy

Moore Awards for Maya Sue Donahue with Maya Moore, Connecticut Five BIG EAST representatives helped the 2011 USA Basketball Women’s World University Games Team (6-0) to the gold medal with a 101-66 victory over Taiwan (5-1) in Shenzhen, China. Three of the BIG EAST participants were Notre Dame’s Skylar Diggins (South Bend, Ind.), Natalie Novosel (Lexington, Ky.) and Devereaux Peters (Chicago, Ill.). DePaul’s Keisha Hampton (Philadelphia, Pa.) and Georgetown’s head coach Terri Williams-Flournoy rounded out the group. In all, four players scored in double digits for the United States during the title game, including Diggins, who netted 19 points and dished out six of the USA’s WUG record-tying 27 assists.

Maya Moore, of the University of Connecticut, was named the 2010-11 Capital One Academic All-America® of the Year Award winner, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Moore was selected as the Capital One Academic All-America® of the Year for the University Division. She joins Rebecca Lobo, ’95 as the second women’s basketball player from UConn to be named as the Academic All-America® of the Year for the University Division. She is also the fourth women’s basketball player to be honored as the Capital One Academic All-America® of the Year for the University Division. Ruth Riley, ’01 of Notre Dame was selected in 2001 and Stacey Dales-Schuman of Oklahoma earned the award in 2002. Maya Moore received Elite 88 award for the 2011 NCAA Division I women’s basketball championship. The Elite 88, an award founded by the NCAA, honors an individual that has reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level in her sport, while also achieving the highest academic standard among their peers. It is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA’s 88 championships.

USA Basketball has claimed gold at the last four WUGs in which it has entered a team (2001, 2005, 2009 and 2011). Further, the U.S., which has competed in a total of 16 World University Games, now owns a record eight golds, six silvers and one bronze medal and boasts a 95-15 all-time win-loss record in WUG play. Taiwan’s silver marks its first women’s basketball medal ever at the World University Games, while Australia (2011 bronze medal winner) previously claimed gold once and bronze twice.

Nine BIG EAST WBB Stars Named to Wade Watch List Nine BIG EAST women’s basketball players have been named to the 2011-12 Wade Watch list for the State Farm Wade Trophy, as announced by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA). The prestigious award is presented annually to the NCAA Division I Player of the Year by the National Association of Girls and Women in Sport (NAGWS) and the WBCA. Connecticut and Notre Dame lead all schools with three Wade Watch list selections a piece. Representing the Huskies are sophomore Stefanie Dolson, sophomore Bria Hartley and senior Tiffany Hayes. Making the list for the Irish are junior Skylar Diggins, senior Natalie Novosel and senior Devereaux Peters. Also representing the conference on the list are DePaul senior Keisha Hampton, Louisville senior Monique Reid and Georgetown junior Sugar Rogers. The preseason Wade Watch list is comprised of 25 student-athletes from 17 institutions in seven conferences. The BIG EAST has nine of the nominations while the Big 12 has four, the ACC, Pac-12 and SEC have three, the Big Ten has two and the Colonial Athletic Conference has one. The BIG EAST has captured the last three Wade Trophies, with UConn’s Maya Moore winning in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Historically, the conference has won eight Wade Trophies with Villanova’s Shelly Pennefather winning in 1987, and Connecticut winning in 1995 with Rebecca Lobo, 1996 with Jennifer Rizzotti, 2002 with Sue Bird, 2003 with Diana Taurasi, and 2009-2011 with Moore. The 2012 State Farm Wade Trophy winner will be announced during the WBCA National Convention, which will be held in conjunction with the 2012 NCAA Women’s Final Four in Denver.

2011-12 MEDIA GUIDE

Eleven former BIG EAST women’s basketball players were selected to play in the 2011 WNBA All-Star Game, including seven picked as starters. The seven starters combined to hold nine of the last 10 BIG EAST Player of the Year honors. Ex-Connecticut teammates Swin Cash (’02), Sue Bird (’02) and Diana Taurasi (‘04) were named starters for the Western Conference All-Stars. Recent UConn graduate and WNBA rookie Maya Moore (‘11) also joins them as a starter for the West squad. Moore is the first rookie voted to start in the WNBA All-Star game since Tamika Catchings and Bird in 2002. Bird, Taurasi and Moore combined to hold six BIG EAST Player of the Year awards. For the Eastern Conference All-Stars, three former BIG EAST standouts were selected as starters including Rutgers product Cappie Pondexter (‘06) and Louisville star Angel McCoughtry (‘07). UConn’s Tina Charles (‘10) also was picked. The trio each garnered BIG EAST Player of the Year accolades during their collegiate careers. Four former BIG EAST standouts also were named reserves. Rebekkah Brunson (Georgetown ‘04) headlined the Western Conference team, while Essence Carson (Rutgers ‘06), Epiphanny Prince (Rutgers ‘08) and Renee Montgomery (Connecticut ‘09) represented the Eastern Conference squad.

Natalie Novosel, Notre Dame Notre Dame women’s basketball head coach Muffet McGraw, the 2001 consensus national coach of the year and winner of nearly 650 games in her illustrious career, was inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame during a gala ceremony at the Bijou Theatre in Knoxville, Tenn in June. McGraw was one of six people — and the lone coach — named to the 2011 Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame Class. The others include former Olympic gold medalists Ruthie Bolton (Auburn) and Vicky Bullett (Maryland), as well as Val Ackerman, the first WNBA president (1996-2005) and first female president of USA Basketball (2005-08), and a pair of three-time All-America players from the pre-NCAA era, Pearl Moore (Frances Marion) and Lometa Odom (Wayland Baptist).

BIG EAST Presence on US U-19 World Championship Team Four student-athletes with BIG EAST ties have been named to the US U-19 World Championship Team. Three players have UConn ties, including sophomores Stephanie Dolson and Bria Hartley. Incoming UConn freshman Kaleena MosquedaLewis also is a member of the squad. Incoming Rutgers freshman Betnijah Laney rounds out the league contingent. Trials were held at the U.S. Olympic Training Center (USOTC) in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Record-Setting Huskies Connecticut broke the NCAA Division I basketball record of 88 wins, previously held by the John Wooden-coached UCLA men’s team from 1971 to 1974. Connecticut set its own Division I basketball record, winning 90 consecutive games.

Capacity Crowds BIG EAST teams recorded 20 sellouts in 2010-11, increasing from 13 sellouts in 200910. The BIG EAST teams were led by DePaul’s seven sellout crowds, while Notre Dame had five and Connecticut had four. The 20 capacity crowds were the most in recent history, proving that the NCAA’s national push to grow the sport of women’s basketball has been a positive initiative.

Breaking the Record for NCAA Berths The BIG EAST had a record-setting season, with nine teams being selected to the NCAA Championship and one to the WNIT, topping the Conference’s own mark of eight.

Notre Dame headlines the 16-team field for the 2011 Preseason Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT). The Irish are joined by potential top-10 teams Baylor and UCLA along with a field that also includes Akron, Chattanooga, Detroit, Drexel, ETSU, Hartford, Howard, Indiana State, Long Island, Manhattan, McNeese State, Tennessee Tech, and UAB.

Last year UConn center Tina Charles was picked first by the Connecticut Sun, while in 2009, Louisville forward Angel McCoughtry was selected No. 1 by the Atlanta Dream. Ex-UConn standouts Diana Taurasi (2004) and Sue Bird (2002) also have been picked No. 1. Overall, three BIG EAST players were selected in the first two rounds of the 2011 draft.

In 2011, she averaged 22.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 4.0 assists. In her career, Moore led UConn to four straight Final Fours and two national titles, while serving as an integral part of her team’s historic 90-game win streak that spanned three seasons. Her team won 150 of the 154 games played during her career. She is a four-time Academic All-American as well. DePaul’s Felicia Chester was picked in the Second Round, 14th overall, also by the Minnesota Lynx. Chester was one of the top shooters in the BIG EAST and ranked third in field goal percentage at 57.0 percent in 2010-11. A First Team Academic All-District selection as well, Chester averaged 11.4 points and 6.6 rebounds for the Blue Demons. This past season she helped DePaul to a school-record 29 wins and a spot in the Regional Semifinals of the NCAA Championship. Marquette’s Angel Robinson was drafted late in the Second Round, 22nd overall by the New York Liberty. Robinson helped the Golden Eagles return to the NCAA Championship for the first time since 2006-07. Marquette finished the year with 24 wins, the second-most in program history. Robinson finished her career as one of the most decorated players to ever don a Marquette uniform as she ranks in the top 12 in eight career statistical categories, including a MU-record 134 career games played. The All-BIG EAST First Team selection and WBCA All-America Team finalist stands second on the career steals (277), free throws made (434) and free throws attempted (600) lists, third in assists (570), sixth in points (1,699), eighth in field goals made (587) and 12th in rebounds (640).

Notebook Pair of BIG EAST Teams in the Final Four

In 2011, No. 1 seed in the Philadelphia Region Connecticut faced the No. 2 seed in the Dayton Regional Notre Dame. In a rematch of the 2011 BIG EAST Championship final, the Huskies and Fighting Irish faced off for the fourth time in one season. After the Huskies took the first three meetings, including the BIG EAST Championship, Notre Dame defeated UConn to advance to the National Championship game. The first time in Conference history that the BIG EAST had two teams playing in the national title game came in 2009 as top overall seed Connecticut faced No. 3 seed Louisville. The Huskies claimed their sixth national championship and the seventh in league history.

Maya Moore Finishes Collegiate Career with Honors Becoming the first-ever two-time College and two-time Naismith High School Player of the Year, Maya Moore was named the 2011 Naismith College Women’s Player of the Year, announced by the Atlanta Tipoff Club. Moore also became the first-ever three-time winner of The State Farm® Wade Trophy, presented by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association. In addition, Moore became just the second four-time All-American when she was honored by The Associated Press.

Looking Back at the 2010-11 Polls Georgetown earned its highest ranking in program history at No. 11 in the AP poll. DePaul set a program-record with a No. 7 ranking in the AP poll and No. 10 in the USA Today/ESPN poll. West Virginia reached its highest-ever ranking in program history as they were voted No. 6 in the AP poll, while Marquette returned to the Associated Press Top 25 and the ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ Poll the week of Jan. 31 at No. 23 and No. 24, respectively. The national rankings marked the first time since the end of the 2006-07 season that the Golden Eagles were among the nation’s top 25 teams in both polls.

National Championships The Conference has won eight national championships in the last 16 years (1995, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010), including five straight between 2000-04 – a feat no other conference has accomplished. The BIG EAST is also the first Conference to have its schools win both the women’s and men’s titles in consecutive years (2003, 2004). Connecticut is also the only school to win both the men’s and women’s titles in the same year (2004). The BIG EAST has won seven national titles in the last 12 years, in which Connecticut and Notre Dame each brought home the championship. In this 12-year span, the BIG EAST has sent four different programs and a total of 14 teams to the Final Four.

2011-12 TV Schedule

91 APPEARANCES, INCLUDING 14 GAMES ON ESPN/ESPN2

oming off a season that saw a record nine teams advance to the NCAA Championship and one team to the WNIT, the BIG EAST Conference 2011-12 television schedule features all 16 teams for the sixthconsecutive year and continues to be one of the top television slates in the nation. The league’s overall exposure includes one game on CBS Sports, 12 games on ESPN/ESPN2, 16 games on ESPNU and 13 games on CBS Sports Network for a total of 96 appearances, the highest mark for BIG EAST women’s basketball.

The Conference will have a presence on CBS Sports for the 17th straight year. Notre Dame will host Connecticut on January 7 at 4 p.m. ET, in what is primed to be a top-25 matchup. The two teams met in South Bend, Ind. last season and the game did not disappoint as the No. 13 Fighting Irish battled No. 2 Connecticut in front of a packed house, falling 79-76. The game proved to be a preview of a Final Four matchup, which the Irish won, 72-63. The BIG EAST’s 18 appearances on ESPN/ESPN2 include five regular season conference games. All of the games also will be simulcast on ESPN3.com. The BIG EAST is one of two conferences to be featured on the channel this season. This year’s schedule also is highlighted by a pair of ESPN2 events, the Women’s Jimmy V Classic and Play 4Kay, formerly known as WBCA Pink Zone. Connecticut faces an early-season test against NCAA defending champion Texas A&M on ESPN2 at the Women’s Jimmy V Classic on Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. The only women’s game to be featured on the slate, the contest will be a matchup between two of the 2011 NCAA Final Four teams. Play 4Kay will feature five BIG EAST teams on ESPN2, showing two conference tilts and a nonconference contest. On Feb. 12, St. John’s will travel to Rutgers and Marquette will play at DePaul. Connecticut will play at Oklahoma on Feb. 13 at 9 p.m., which is one of four Big Monday appearances in which the Huskies will be featured. Also as part of the Play 4Kay event, West Virginia will play Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind. on ESPNU. Connecticut’s game at Baylor on Dec. 18 at 8:30 p.m. will be televised on ESPN, and a conference tilt between Louisville and Georgetown on Jan. 22 will be shown on ESPN2. BIG EAST Conference women’s basketball will have five Big

Monday games this season televised on ESPN2 and one on ESPN. The Big Monday tipoff will come on Jan. 16, when Connecticut hosts North Carolina on ESPN2. The Tar Heels will be looking for revenge after the teams met in January of 2010 during the Huskies’ 90-game winning streak. Notre Dame will host Tennessee on Jan. 23 at 7 p.m. The Fighting Irish defeated the Lady Vols 73-59 to advance to the Final Four last season in the NCAA Championship. On Jan. 30, Connecticut will play at Duke. The Huskies and Blue Devils met twice last year, first with Connecticut taking an 87-51 victory during the regular season, followed by an NCAA Championship rematch, again resulting in a UConn win and a trip to the Final Four. In a Big Monday conference matchup televised on ESPN, Notre Dame will play Louisville in the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky. on Feb. 20 at 2 p.m. A conference game will wrap up the Big Monday schedule, with Notre Dame at Connecticut at 9 p.m. on Feb. 27, the final day of the regular season. The game will be a rematch of the 2011 BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Championship final as well as 2011 NCAA Final Four tilt. Prior to the official Big Monday schedule, Stanford will play at Connecticut on Nov. 21 at 7:30 p.m. in a game televised on ESPNU. The Conference will have “Game of the Week” packages on the CBS Sports Network and the BIG EAST Regional Sports Network. ESPNU also will televise numerous games on Sundays during the regular season. The BIG EAST will appear on ESPNU 26 times, including five regular-season conference games, six nonconference matchups and three of the BIG EAST Championship quarterfinals on March 4 and the semifinal rounds on March 5. ESPNU can now be seen in more than 73 million homes and will showcase 11 BIG EAST teams throughout the conference season. The sixth-annual Maggie Dixon Classic at Madison Square Garden will take place on Dec. 11. St. John’s will square off against Baylor at 11 a.m., while DePaul will face off against Tennessee at 1 p.m. Conference action on ESPNU begins on Jan. 8 with Louisville at St. John’s and runs most Sundays through Feb. 12, wrapping up the regular season with West Virginia at Notre Dame before

televising the BIG EAST Championship Quarterfinals. CBS Sports Network will continue its “Conference Game of the Week” broadcasts. The BIG EAST’s record-breaking 26 appearances will consist of 13 conference games, including four doubleheaders. The schedule begins on Jan. 3 when Syracuse plays at Rutgers at 9 p.m. Twelve of the 13 conference games will be on Tuesdays. The first doubleheader is on Jan. 10, as two NCAA Championship teams battle in Notre Dame at Georgetown at 7 p.m., followed by Villanova at Marquette at 9 p.m. The games run through Feb. 27, the last day of the regular season. West Virginia hosts Pittsburgh at 7 p.m. to wrap up the league schedule. The CBS Sports Network schedule features 13 BIG EAST schools.

Some BETV games also will be available on ESPN Full Court. The BIG EAST continues to expand its women’s basketball website coverage for 2011-12.

2011-12 MEDIA GUIDE

Joseph Vaszily Westfield, NJ

The BIG EAST Conference he 2011-12 academic year is the 33rd in the history of The BIG EAST Conference as the unique consortium marches on competing at the highest level with integrity and sportsmanship.

The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2011-12 year marks the conference’s seventh straight with the same 16-member group, making for the nation’s largest Division I-A conference. The BIG EAST Conference’s goals have always been the same. The outstanding performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are evidence of the league’s proud tradition of success. The league has always been able to boast that many of its best students are also its best athletes. The 2010-11 year was no different.

Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 31 national championships in six different sports and 133 student-athletes have won individual national titles. In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. In men’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won four of the last 13 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken seven of the last 12 NCAA titles.

Seven BIG EAST student-athletes were named NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners, while 22 earned Capital One Academic All-America recognition. Maya Moore, Connecticut’s women’s basketball standout, won the NCAA Honda-Broderick Cup as the nation’s top female studentathlete and was chosen as the Capital One Academic AllAmerica of the Year.

Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. The conference currently crowns champions in 24 sports.

In the athletic arena, BIG EAST student-athletes again enjoyed success on the national stage. The Connecticut men’s basketball team won its third national championship, completing a magical run through five games of the BIG EAST Championship and six wins in the NCAA tournament. The Villanova women’s cross country team won the NCAA title for the second straight year and the ninth time overall. The Notre Dame women’s soccer team won its third NCAA title, while BIG EAST teams reached national championship games in women’s basketball (Notre Dame) and men’s soccer (Louisville). The BIG EAST placed two teams in the NCAA Women’s Final Four for the second time in the last three years as Connecticut joined Notre Dame in Indianapolis, capping a season in which the Huskies extended their NCAA-record winning streak to 90 games. Individually, BIG EAST student-athletes won five NCAA championships, including an unprecedented four by Villanova’s Sheila Reid. Reid was the 2010 individual cross country champion, a member of the Wildcats’ winning indoor distance medley relay team and won the 5,000- and 1,500-meter titles in outdoor track & field. Louisville’s Matt Hughes, meanwhile, repeated as the NCAA champion in the 3,000meter steeplechase at the NCAA outdoor meet.

BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top 35 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one-fourth of all television households in the U.S.

The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven-school alliance. While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad-based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student-athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics. Any successful organization has had the good fortune to have outstanding leadership. The BIG EAST primarily was the brainchild of Dave Gavitt, who was the conference’s first Commissioner. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference.

Connecticut – 2011 BIG EAST Champions

Moore and Reid joined Notre Dame soccer standout Melissa Henderson as winners of Honda Sports Awards as the top performers in their respective sports. Moore also became the first three-time winner of the Wade Trophy as the nation’s top women’s basketball player and joined Villanova lacrosse player Brian Karalunas as winners of the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. BIG EAST football maintained its national profile as a competitively balanced group. Connecticut claimed the league’s Bowl Championship Series bid for the first time as the Huskies shared the conference title with Pittsburgh and West Virginia. Six of the league’s eight squads went to bowl games and helped the BIG EAST post a 4-2 bowl record for the second straight year.

John Marinatto, who had served as senior associate commissioner, moved into the Commissioner’s chair in 2009 and has continued to steer the conference on its path of success.

The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student-athletes. The conference has enjoyed longstanding relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC. BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past eight years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball. The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 student-athletes.

The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began competing – the University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, the University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida.

Commissioner John Marinatto ohn Marinatto became the third commissioner of the BIG EAST Conference July 1, 2009. He was the unanimous choice of the conference’s chancellors and presidents, who announced his appointment in November 2008.

Marinatto follows Michael Tranghese, who had served as BIG EAST Commissioner since 1990, and Dave Gavitt, who served from 1979-1990, as the overseer of the largest and most diverse Division I athletics conference in the country. Already established in the world of intercollegiate athletics and higher education, Marinatto has continued to further his involvement on the national landscape since his appointment as Commissioner. He currently serves on the NCAA Leadership Council, Collegiate Commissioners Association, CCA Women’s Basketball Task Force, NCAA Value Based Decision Making Task Force, Men’s and Women’s Basketball Officiating LLC Boards of Directors, College Football Officiating Board of Directors and the NACDA Executive Committee. He has also represented the BIG EAST on the prestigious NCAA Management Council and the NCAA Finance and Business Cabinet and will become chairman of the Collegiate Commissioners Association Football Bowl Subdivsion in 2012. Marinatto brings a deep-rooted familiarity with the BIG EAST into his role as Commissioner. He had served as the conference’s senior associate commissioner since 2002 and spent 14 years as Director of Athletics at Providence College. His wide and varied experience on conference and national committees adds to his expertise. As the league’s senior associate commissioner, Marinatto had been the league’s Chief Operating Officer. He oversaw all administrative operations including NCAA governance, compliance communications, television and championships. Marinatto also served as the conference’s treasurer. Marinatto played a critical role in the creation and development of the strategic plan to reconfigure the BIG EAST into its current 16-member consortium. He has served on committees which have negotiated lucrative contracts with television partners CBS Sports and ESPN, Inc. in football and basketball and with marketing partner IMG. During the BIG EAST’s term as the lead administrator of the BCS in 2002-04, Marinatto served as the group’s Chief Financial and Business Officer. He also recently served on the BCS Fiesta Bowl Task Force and is currently a member of the BCS television committee. Marinatto’s connection to the founders of the BIG EAST dates to his undergraduate days at Providence College, when he served as a manager for a Friar basketball program that was coached by Gavitt and had Tranghese as its sports information director. After graduating from Providence in 1979 with a degree in business management, he served his alma mater as Associate Director of Alumni/Development. He also served as Director of Sports Promotions and Director of Sports Information before moving into the athletic director’s chair in 1987, shortly after the men’s basketball team competed in the NCAA Final Four. During his tenure as athletic director, Marinatto served as the BIG EAST Athletic Directors’ Executive Committee Chairman for four years, was the chair of the BIG EAST Finance Committee and the chair of the Conference Strategic Planning Committee. He also served on the BIG EAST Championships and Competition Committee. Marinatto has also served as Tournament Director to numerous NCAA championship events including the 1996 Men’s Basketball First and Second Rounds, the 2000 Men’s Frozen Four and the 2003 Women’s Basketball East Regional. Friar sports teams enjoyed significant success during Marinatto’s tenure of leadership, including the women’s cross country team, which won the NCAA Championship in 1995. Marinatto will continue to create the best possible climate for BIG EAST student-athletes to succeed academically and athletically through sportsmanship and ethical conduct while maintaining the tradition, identity and character conference laid forth by his predecessors.

News & Notes Who’s Gone

After going 9-20 last season, the Bearcats are looking to steadily improve and make their mark in league play. To help with that, Cincinnati has four newcomers joining two BIG EAST All-Freshman team members. The Bearcats will also receive help from Michigan transfer Dayeesha Hollins, who sat out last season.

The Bearcats look to replace leading scorer Shareese Ulis, who averaged 13.7 points and 2.3 rebounds per game, and Shelly Bellman. Ulis finished her career ranked No. 7 in school annals in 3-pointers made (117), No. 8 in 3-point attempts (355) and No. 8 in 3-point percentage (.330). Bellman, who scored 5.9 points per game and earned the 2010 BIG EAST Sportsmanship Award, finished her career in four of the program’s Top 10 lists, including 3-point field goals, 3-point attempts, 3-point percentage and minutes played.

Cincinnati returns two BIG EAST All-Freshman team members in Kayla Cook and Jeanise Randolph, who scored 8.1 and 5.7 points per game, respectively. Also returning are seniors Chanel Chisholm and Bjonee Reaves, who combined for 27 starts. The team’s first and second-leading rebounders return in sophomores Tiffany Turner (6.0 rpg) and Jeanise Randolph (5.6 rpg). Randolph also finished last season with a team-high 20 blocks.

News & Notes The BIG Picture

Who’s Gone

Coach Doug Bruno begins his 26th season at the helm of the Blue Demon women’s program. DePaul opens its 2011-12 season on a 19-game McGrathPhillips Arena winning streak. The streak, dating back to Feb. 23, 2010, is currently the third longest in school history. The Blue Demons went 17-0 on their home court last season including ranked wins over No. 3/2 Stanford, No. 8/8 West Virginia, No. 21/22 Marquette, No. 18/18 Georgetown and No. 8/7 Notre Dame. Last season DePaul defeated its opponents in Lincoln Park by an average of 20.5 points while it topped ranked opponents by 12.8.

Two DePaul starters were lost to graduation: Felicia Chester, a BIG EAST All-Honorable Mention selection, who averaged 11.4 ppg and 6.6 rpg, and All-BIG EAST Second Team honoree Sam Quigley. Quigley averaged 10.1 points per game.

Who’s Returning DePaul returns honorable mention Associated Press and State Farm/WBCA All-American Keisha Hampton. Hampton led the Blue Demons in scoring last season with 16.0 points per outing and knocked in 14.9 during conference play. A threetime All-BIG EAST selection, Hampton was a unanimous first-team selection as a junior. The Blue Demons also return starters Anna Martin (10.8 ppg, 2.6 apg) and Katherine Harry (6.9 ppg, 6.3 apg) and BIG EAST Sixth Man of the Year Taylor Pikes (7.0 ppg, 6.3 rpg).

SPORTS INFORMATION

The BIG Picture

Who’s Gone

Georgetown returns four of five starters after losing just one senior to graduation. The Hoyas will look to build on the momentum of last year, as Georgetown tied its best season in program history with 24 wins. GU was ranked No. 14 in the final ESPN poll of the season. The Hoyas won two games in the NCAA Championship, defeating No. 12 seed Princeton and No. 4 seed Maryland before falling to No. 1 seed Connecticut by just five points in the Philadelphia Regional. Junior Sugar Rodgers returns to lead the Hoyas after holding the Georgetown record for points in a season (653, 2010-11).

The Hoyas lost just one senior, Monica McNutt, an All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention selection. McNutt was second on the team with 10.5 ppg.

Who’s Returning Junior Sugar Rodgers returns on pace to become the program’s leading scorer. Rodgers was named to the Preseason “Wade Watch List” after averaging a teamleading 18.7 ppg last year. Seniors Rubylee Wright, Tia Magee and Adria Crawford all return in the lineup. Wright is the program’s leader for assists in a season with 169 last year. Magee averaged 8.2 ppg and led the team with 5.2 rebounds per game. Crawford added 6.5 ppg, 4.8 rpg and 18 blocks.

Storylines Three newcomers join the squad in Jasmine Jackson, Brittany Horne and local-product Taylor Brown. They will join a group of seven seniors, who will wrap up four years together this season. Head Coach Terri Williams-Flournoy was an assistant coach with the World University Games team, winning a gold medal.

SPORTS INFORMATION

The BIG Picture

Who’s Gone

The Cardinals are coming off a trip to the Sweet 16 in 2010-11. The squad defeated Vanderbilt and Xavier in the NCAA Championship before falling to Gonzaga in Spokane, Wash. With four starters returning, the Cardinals will look to build on their 22-win season and advance even further this year.

UofL loses one of its starters from last year. Keshia Hines started all 35 games last season, averaging 7.6 points per game and 5.9 rebounds per game. Hines led the team with a 56.2 field goal percentage and added 36 blocks.

Who’s Returning

Louisville unveiled its new home arena, the KFC Yum! Center, opening last season with a sellout against Tennessee. The Cardinals again sold out the building in December against Kentucky, defeating the Wildcats 78-52. Sophomore guard Shoni Schimmel, who had a standout rookie campaign, is joined by her sister Jude, a 5-5 guard. The older Schimmel was second on the team in scoring as a freshman and had 33 points in an NCAA win over Xavier, sending the Cardinals to the 16.

Senior Monique Reid is on the 2011-12 preseason “Wade Watch” list after leading the Cardinals in scoring last season with 15.5 points per game, while ranking fourth in the league. She was named an AllBIG EAST First Team selection for the second consecutive season. The senior forward also led the team in rebounding (6.1 rpg). Reid is joined by sophomore guard Shoni Schimmel, who averaged 15.1 points per game and dished out 172 assists.

The BIG Picture

Who’s Gone

Marquette returns two starters and five letterwinners from a team that won 24 games in 2010-11 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Championship. The Golden Eagles have added height and depth in the frontcourt as four of the six freshmen stand 6-3 or taller. MU turned around the conference season, going from a 6-10 record in 200910 to a 10-6 mark in 2010-11 and will look to continue the momentum with a crop of new faces.

Marquette will have to find a way to fill the scoring void left by graduated seniors Angel Robinson (13.6 ppg, 5.3 rpg), Tatiyiana McMorris (12.6 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 39.0 3-point pct.), Paige Fiedorowicz (10.6 ppg, 5.1 rpg) and Jasmine Collins (9.2 ppg, 5.0 rpg). Due to graduation, Marquette lost 74.8 percent of its scoring.

Who’s Returning The Golden Eagles return two of their top six scorers from last season in junior Sarina Simmons (7.5 ppg, 5.7 rpg) and sophomore Katherine Plouffe (6.5 ppg and 5.1 rpg).

Storylines Two Golden Eagles gained international experience over the summer as Katherine Plouffe, a member of the Canadian U19 National Team, played in the FIBA U19 Women’s World Championship in Puerto Mott, Chile, and newcomer Cristina Bilica was a member of the Romanian U21 National Team that participated in the FIBA U20 European Championship. Plouffe averaged 8.0 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists over the nine-game tournament where Team Canada finished fifth. Bilica averaged 11.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists over the nine-game tournament held in Novi Sad (Serbia).

News & Notes The BIG Picture

Who’s Gone

Notre Dame brings back four starters from the 201011 squad that went 31-8 and advanced to the NCAA national championship game for the second time in school history (as well as the program’s third NCAA Women’s Final Four appearance). Notre Dame is in the midst of a school-record streak of 77 consecutive weeks appearing in the Associated Press poll, a run that dates back to the 2007-08 preseason poll.

The Fighting Irish lose co-captain Becca Bruszewski to graduation. Bruszewski was a valuable starter who averaged 8.9 ppg and 5.3 rpg. She was also an emotional leader off the court and an energetic spark on the court.

Who’s Returning The Fighting Irish return nearly 85 percent of their scoring offense from the 2010-11 squad, led by a trio of All-Americans and 2011-12 Wade Trophy Watch List selections — junior guard Skylar Diggins (15.0 ppg., 4.8 apg., 4.0 rpg.), senior guard Natalie Novosel (15.1 ppg., 4.0 rpg., 1.9 spg.) and fifth-year senior forward Devereaux Peters (11.9 ppg., 7.5 rpg., 1.7 bpg.). Fifth-year senior guard Brittany Mallory (7.1 ppg., 2.7 apg., .402 3FG%) is back, as is All-BIG EAST Freshman Team selection Natalie Achonwa (6.9 ppg, 5.3 rpg).

Storylines Notre Dame’s incoming freshman class is highlytouted and has two earning prep All-America honors during their careers (including 2011 Parade Magazine All-America guard Madison Cable). All three freshmen come to South Bend after leading their respective high school squads to state championships in 2010. The Fighting Irish have ranked among the top five in the nation in attendance the past two seasons, checking in at No. 5 in 2010-11 after averaging a school-record 8,553 fans per game with five sellouts.

By The Numbers

The Irish have been to the Final Four three times in their history, including last year’s magical run. Notre Dame also advanced to the Final Four in 1997 and 2001, winning the national title in 2001.

News & Notes The BIG Picture

Who’s Gone

SPORTS INFORMATION

Pitt head coach Agnus Berenato fields the youngest team in NCAA Division I women’s basketball in 201112. The squad - with no upperclassmen - is comprised of eight sophomores and five freshmen. But, even with the losses to graduation, the Panthers have an exciting season to look forward to as the incoming freshman class is ranked No. 18 by ESPN Hoopgurlz, the highest ranked class in Pitt history. The five-member class boasts three players ranked in the top-100.

The Panthers will look to replace 74.6 percent of their scoring from a year ago, having lost their top four scorers to graduation. Pitt will be looking for new faces to step up and replace Taneisha Harrison, who averaged 15.5 points per game to lead the team last season, along with Jania Sims, who averaged 12.3 points per game. Chelsea Cole led the team on the boards with 10.3 rpg and was just under a doubledouble average with 9.9 ppg.

By The Numbers

Who’s Returning

Storylines

Redshirt sophomore Ashlee Anderson is the lone returning starter (23 of 31 games), having averaged 20.1 minutes and 5.2 points per game – both are the most of any returning player. Leeza Burdgess returns after playing in 30 games last season and averaging 3.6 ppg in 12.5 minutes per game.

Pitt will be looking to bounce back in 2011-12 as the Panthers have something to prove. Pitt saw its streak of five-straight postseason appearances come to a close last season, finishing the season with a loss in the BIG EAST Championship quarterfinals to Marquette.

SPORTS INFORMATION

The BIG Picture

Who’s Gone

The Friars finished the 2010-11 season with a 13-16 record and six league wins. Providence lost its leading scorer from last season, Mi-Khida Hankins, but has six seniors and two juniors to help lead the team. The Friars also have four newcomers to help the veterans improve on last year.

PC’s top scorer from last season, Mi-Khida Hankins, graduated, leaving a hole for someone new on the roster to shine. Hankins, who played in all 29 games last year, was the team’s leader with 10.4 points per game and added 7.1 rebounds per game. She also had a team-high 39 blocks.

Who’s Returning

Storylines

The Friars have two redshirt-seniors this year, Tiffany Hurd and Teya Wright. Wright brings a great deal of experience to the court after playing in all 29 games last season. She averaged 9.0 ppg and a teamleading 8.0 rpg and shot a team-high .434 from the field. Hurd and Wright are joined by four additional seniors and two juniors to help lead the team. The experience of the upperclassmen will be joined by a four-member recruiting class.

The Friars have averaged 6.5 conference wins over the last two years. After posting a 19-15 record two years ago, the Friars were 13-16 last year. Symone Roberts was second on the team last year with 9.3 ppg after playing in 26 games as a sophomore. Roberts broke into the starting lineup as a freshman and averaged 4.9 points per game.

News & Notes Who’s Gone

Rutgers advanced to its ninth-straight NCAA Championship - 22nd overall and 13th under head coach C. Vivian Stringer. RU was one of only 10 teams to qualify for the NCAA Championship in each of the last nine seasons. The Scarlet Knights were the only team in the country to face each of the Final Four teams - Connecticut, Notre Dame, Stanford and Texas A&M. The Scarlet Knights finished the season 20-13, Stringer’s 31st 20-win season. Stringer became just the third women’s coach to reach 850 wins.

RU loses Daisha Simmons, who played in 32 games, averaging 2.4 ppg and 2.4 rpg. The Scarlet Knights will also be without forwards Briana Hutchen (1.2 ppg, 1.5 rpg) and Julie Paunovic (0.8 ppg, 0.2 rpg). Hutchen appeared in 28 games, while Paunovic played in 13 games. All three letterwinners combined for only four starts.

Rutgers returns all five starters from last year, including three Second Team All-BIG EAST selections – Monique Oliver, Khadijah Rushdan and April Sykes. Sykes nearly tripled her scoring average (5.6 ppg) and had three times as many double-digit scoring games (eight) from the previous year, averaging 14.1 ppg and posting 24 doublefigure contests. Rusdhan averaged 11.8 ppg and was ranked first in BIG EAST regular season play with 5.2 assists per game. Oliver averaged 10.9 points per game and 5.9 rebounds per game.

St. John’s RED STORM

ST. JOHN’S QUICK FACTS

CHRIS MONASCH Athletic Director

KIM BARNES ARICO Head Coach

KRISTIN DUFFY Assistant Director of Athletic Communications

News & Notes Who’s Gone

St. John’s returns almost a full roster from its 22-11, 2011 NCAA Championship Second Round Team, including four experienced starters. The Red Storm lost just two players to graduation, Centhya “Coco” Hart and Sky Lindsay. St. John’s defeated No. 8 seed Texas Tech to advance to the NCAA Second Round, where the Red Storm faced No. 1 seed Stanford on its home court. The squad gained valuable experience and has a veteran roster returning, looking to make it three-straight 20-win seasons.

Centhya “Coco” Hart and Sky Lindsay graduated, but those are the only two losses for the Red Storm. Both Hart and Lindsay started all 33 games last season. Hart was third on the team, averaging 8.5 points per game and 5.8 rebounds per game. Lindsay averaged 4.8 points per game.

St. John’s will look to forward Da’Shena Stevens, an All-BIG EAST Second Team selection, who averaged 11.8 points per game. The senior led the team in rebounding last season with 6.4 boards per game and in double-doubles with five. The scoring leader from 2010-11, junior forward Shenneika Smith, also an All-BIG EAST Second Team selection, will once again provide a double threat paired with Stevens. Last season, Smith led the Red Storm with 12.2 points per game. She recorded three 20-plus scoring efforts.

News & Notes The BIG Picture

Who’s Gone

Second-year head coach Anne Donovan lost just one player to graduation and returns all five starters from the 2010-11 squad. In addition to the players who now have a year of experience playing under her tutelage, Donovan welcomes two freshmen to the program in guard Alexis Brown and center Chizoba Ekedigwe, both McDonald’s All-America game nominees. The 5-8 Brown, a fundamentally solid player, hails from national powerhouse Potter’s House Academy in Jacksonville, Fla. At 6-5, Ekedigwe brings size and tremendous potential to the Pirates.

The Pirates have lost just one player from last season, center Kashmere Joseph, to graduation. Joseph played in 18 games last season, starting in 11. She averaged 3.7 points per game and 4.6 rebounds per game.

Who’s Returning Senior Jasmine Crew should provide the Pirates with veteran experience after solid junior campaigns. Crew led the team in scoring, netting 11.6 points per game and was among the BIG EAST leaders in freethrow percentage (77.3). Sophomore Ka-Deidre Simmons returns after earning a spot on the 2010-11 All-BIG EAST Freshman Team. Simmons saw action in 30 games, starting 27, and averaged 7.2 ppg.

Storylines The Pirates non-conference slate includes tilts against Michigan, Wake Forest, Memphis, and a trip to the Paradise Jam in St. Thomas over Thanksgiving. While there, Donovan will face her alma mater Old Dominion for the first time.

By The Numbers

Seton Hall’s Anne Donovan is the third women’s basketball head coach in school history following Sue Dilly (1973-85) and Phyllis Mangina (1985-09). League rival Connecticut also has had just three coaches in program history.

News & Notes The BIG Picture

Who’s Gone

The Bulls went 12-19 overall last season, picking up three conference wins. The Bulls defeated one ranked opponent last season, defeating then-No. 18/19 Georgetown 60-55 on the last day of the regular season. The top two returning scorers, Andrea Smith and Andrell Smith, are back as seniors this season, joined by three newcomers.

The Bulls lost last year’s leading rebounder, Porche Grant, to graduation. Grant swatted a team-high 29 shots and averaged 8.6 rebounds per game, 3.4 more rebounds per game than the next-highest player on the team. The Bulls will need to find an inside presence to step in and dominate the boards this season. USF will also be without Leondra DoomesStephens, who was third on the team with 7.7 ppg and second with 5.2 rpg.

Who’s Returning Juniors Andrea Smith (16.5 ppg) and Andrell Smith (8.3 ppg) return for their senior seasons after leading the Bulls in scoring last year. Andrea Smith was the only player to average double-digits in scoring and started all 31 games. Andrell Smith played in all 31 games, starting 26 and averaged 25 minutes per game. She grabbed a team-high 46 steals. Kaneisha Saunders, who averaged 7.3 ppg, also returns.

Storylines Pam and Les Muma made a lead gift of $3 million to the basketball center on March 26, 2008. The 50,000 square foot Muma Center will feature: two practice courts, player locker rooms and lounges, two video/ film theaters, separate athletic training rooms for women and men, joint weight room for both basketball programs, coaches’ offices and locker rooms and conference rooms.

News & Notes The BIG Picture

Who’s Gone

Syracuse is coming off its second-straight 25-win season. Under sixth-year coach Quentin Hillsman, SU flipped its conference record from 7-9 to 9-7. The Orange return 10 players, including three starters, returning 80.4 percent of its scoring and 88.8 percent of its rebounding from last season. Syracuse welcomes three newcomers to the squad, including one redshirt freshman, a junior college transfer and one international player.

Syracuse will be playing without two seniors who graduated, Erica Morrow and Tasha Harris. Morrow was third on the team with 10.1 points per game. She dished out 109 assists and grabbed a team-high 65 steals. Morrow started 33 games. Harris, who started all 35 games, averaged 4.0 ppg and 2.0 rpg. Harris had 144 assists and shot 76 percent from the free throw line.

Who’s Returning

The Orange return 10 players, including three starters. Sophomore center Shakeya Leary averaged 5.6 points and 5.3 rebounds last season. Syracuse’s 2011-12 schedule includes Arizona, BYU, Oklahoma and Xavier. SU also welcomes back juniors Elashier Hall and Carmen Tyson-Thomas. Hall finished the season second on the team in steals (1.4), fourth in points (9.8) and assists (1.3) and fifth in rebounds (5.3). Tyson-Thomas ended the year third on the team in rebounds (6.7) and steals (1.1), and fifth in points (8.6) and assists (1.3).

All-BIG EAST First Team pick Kayla Alexander leads the returners. The junior center led the team in points (14.8), blocks (2.6), field-goal percentage (.549) and free-throw percentage (.766). Her 91 blocks set an SU single-season record. Also returning for her senior season is Iasia Hemingway, an AllBIG EAST Honorable Mention Team member in 2010-11. The forward led the Orange in rebounds (7.4) and placed second in points (12.7) and assists (2.5). She posted a team-high nine double-doubles. SU also welcomes back juniors Elashier Hall and Carmen Tyson-Thomas.

News & Notes Who’s Gone

Entering the 2011-12 season, the Wildcats return 90 percent of their scoring from last year. The Wildcats are expecting big things from the redshirt freshman duo of Lauren Burford and Emily Leer. Burford is a multi-dimensional player who can play both guard and forward. Leer is a skilled post player whose shooting range extends to the 3-point line.

The Wildcats lost two seniors to graduation - Heather Scanlon and Amanda Swiezynski. Scanlon played in 29 games last season, averaging 3.4 ppg and 2.7 rpg. Swiezynski played in all 31 games, starting 26. She averaged 2.1 ppg.

The team’s top five scorers are all returning, led by junior Laura Sweeney (11.5 ppg) and senior Lindsay Kimmel (10.2 ppg). As a sophomore last season, Sweeney led the Wildcats in scoring, rebounding (6.1 rpg) and field goal percentage (.476). In her two-year career, she has tallied 656 points and 38 double-figure scoring games. Last season, Sweeney registered double figures in points in 13 of the team’s final 14 games. Kimmel led the team last year in long-distance shooting with 81 triples. Of Kimmel’s 316 points scored, 243 came via 3-point field goals.

Storylines The Wildcats will once again be a 3-point shooting team in 2011-12. Last year, the Wildcats made 235 3-point field goals and outscored their opponents by a 705-351 margin from behind the arc. Villanova returns all three guards from last season. This group is led by sophomore Devon Kane who averaged 5.3 points per game, 2.7 rebounds per contest and 2.4 assists per game as a redshirt freshman. Kane came on strong at the end of last year. In her final seven games, she had four double-figure scoring games and averaged 9.8 points per game during that sevengame stretch.

SPORTS INFORMATION

The BIG Picture

Who’s Gone

The 2011-12 Mountaineers are a young team with four freshmen and seven returning players, including just one starter from the 2010-11 season and one senior. Of the seven returners, six bring NCAA tournament experience. Natalie Burton is the Mountaineers’ lone senior this season. Having played in 96 career games, Burton led last season’s team in field goal percentage as she shot 60.5 percent.

The Mountaineers lose five seniors from last year’s squad, including leading scorer Liz Repella, who averaged 14.7 points per game. Madina Ali, who averaged 12.4 ppg and a team-leading 7.1 rebounds per game, also graduated. The third-leading scorer, Sarah Miles (8.3 ppg) graduates after leading the team with 113 assists.

Who’s Returning

Redshirt-sophomore Christal Caldwell transferred to West Virginia from Florida and had to sit out the 2010-11 season in compliance with NCAA transfer rules. Although she was unable to wear the uniform and play on game day, Caldwell was still allowed to practice with the team and learn the plays.

Jessica Harlee, Brooke Hampton and Taylor Palmer competed in their first postseason games last season. All three freshmen averaged doublefigure minutes throughout most of the season, led by Hampton, who also experienced nine starts at point guard. Junior Asya Bussie has started every game in her Mountaineer career and leads the team in experience with 1,838 minutes. As the only returning starter, she is WVU’s leading scorer, averaging 8.2 points per game. A leader both on and off the court, Bussie will also serve as the 2011-12 team captain.
