Notebook Creighton, DePaul Tie Atop BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Preseason Poll

or the first time since 2002, the BIG EAST women’s basketball head coaches evenly split their first-place votes between two teams as Creighton and DePaul tied atop the league’s Preseason Coaches’ Poll which was announced at Media Day. The Bluejays and Blue Demons earned 75 points and five first-place votes apiece, beating out No. 3 Marquette which totaled 62 points. Narrow margins separated teams throughout the poll as the Golden Eagles edged No. 4 Villanova which collected 59 points. Georgetown followed in fifth with 51 points, while reigning BIG EAST Tournament champion St. John’s came in sixth with 38. Seton Hall (seventh, 31 points), Butler (eighth, 25 points), Xavier (ninth, 20 points) and Providence (10th, 14 points) rounded out the poll. Creighton went 17-18 last season, highlighted by a notable run to the BIG EAST Tournament title game as the No. 7 seed, upsetting second-seeded Villanova and third-seeded Seton Hall along the way. The Bluejays used the tourney run to

become national postseason eligible, earning a WNIT berth to extend their postseason streak to nine years. Creighton achieved all of this without veteran guard and 2014 BIG EAST Player of the Year Marissa Janning, who went down with a season-ending injury in December. Janning received a medical redshirt and returns healthy for 2016-17, as Creighton returns 14 letterwinners and all five starters from a year ago, making the Bluejays one of the most experienced squads in the conference this season.

For the first time since 2002, the BIG EAST women’s basketball head coaches evenly split their first-place votes between two teams as Creighton and DePaul tied atop the league’s Preseason Coaches’ Poll.

BIG EAST Women’s Basketball

Notebook DePaul is coming off its second NCAA Sweet 16 run in the past three seasons. The Blue Demons have regularly entered the season with a target on their back, claiming at least a share of the regular-season title in each of the three years since conference realignment, while also winning the BIG EAST Tournament twice during that span. DePaul returns a trio of starters from last season, including BIG EAST Preseason Player of the Year Jessica January. The Blue Demons finished 2015-16 with a 27-9 record, including 16-2 in BIG EAST play for the finest league record by any team since 2012-13. Since the 2013-14 campaign, DePaul has totaled a BIG EAST-best 83-24 (.776) overall record and has qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 14 consecutive seasons, one of just six Division I teams to boast such an active streak.

Coming off a year in which they were the youngest team in Division I, Marquette returns all starters and letterwinners from 2015-16, including reigning BIG EAST Freshman of the Year Allazia Blockton. Blockton snapped the 21-year old BIG EAST freshman scoring record last season and is the league’s top returning scorer in 2016-17. The Golden Eagles are set to host the BIG EAST Tournament for the first time this coming March and are one of the frontrunners to be playing in Tuesday night’s title game. MU went 14-16 overall and 9-9 in BIG EAST play last season, stringing together a fivegame league win streak for its longest since joining the BIG EAST in 2005-06. Last season Villanova won five of its last six regularseason games to launch itself into the NCAA Tournament conversation. The Wildcats took what was thought to be an insurmountable hit when All-BIG EAST honoree Caroline Coyer went down with a season-ending injury with three regular-season games remaining, but rookie guard Adrianna Hahn injected new life into Nova by averaging 17.5 points over the final four games. The Wildcats earned a bid into the WNIT, qualifying for the national postseason for the fifth straight year, advancing to the Second Round to finish the season 20-12 (12-6 BIG EAST). Villanova returns a trio of starters for 2016-17, including All-BIG EAST honoree Alex Louin. The tides have turned for the better on the Hilltop as Georgetown boasted Division I’s third-best turnaround in 2015-16, improving its win total from the previous season by 12. The Hoyas accepted a bid into the WNIT, qualifying for the national postseason for the first time since 2012. Georgetown finished 16-14 overall and 9-9 in league play in 2015-16. Dionna White and Dorothy Adomako proved to be a dynamic 1-2 punch for GU last year and are the Nos. 2 and 3 returning scorers in the BIG EAST for 2016-17. St. John’s claimed its third BIG EAST Tournament title this past March, earning an NCAA Tourney berth for the sixth time in the last seven years. The Red Storm were undefeated (11-0) when future WNBA Draft picks Danaejah Grant and Aliyyah Handford combined for at least 40 points, and St. John’s will look for replacements for the duo this year. Jade Walker is the Red Storm’s top returning scorer in 2016-17, averaging 9.3 points over 32 games last season. St. John’s posted a 23-10 record, including 11-7 in BIG EAST play, in 2015-16. Seton Hall posted its third consecutive 20-win season in 2015-16 and finished in a tie for second in the BIG EAST standings despite returning just one starter. The Pirates

earned their second straight NCAA Tournament at-large berth, finishing the campaign with a 23-9 record. For the second year in a row, SHU returns just one starter in Lubirdia Gordon, but The Hall will once again benefit from a talented transfer, this time in Louisiana Tech product JaQuan Jackson. Butler opened 2015-16 as winners of four of its first six, but health issues knocked out a couple key players as the Bulldogs fell to a 4-14 mark in BIG EAST play and 10-21 overall. Butler was young a season ago with just two upperclassmen receiving significant playing time. The Bulldogs boast two of the most notable rising sophomores in the league in Tori Schickel and Brittany Ward, with Ward being the BIG EAST’s No. 2 returning rebounder in 2016-17. Xavier, which went 17-13 overall and 8-10 in BIG EAST play, returns two starters from a season ago in leading scorer Raeshaun Gaffney and Maddison Blackwell. Xavier got off to a promising start in ’15-16, winning its first three BIG EAST games but ended the campaign on a seven-game skid. Injuries took a toll on the Musketeers last year, but a healthy, experienced group of players aim a return to Xavier’s proven successful ways. An offseason change of command sees Providence under the direction of a new head coach in Jim Crowley, who turned St. Bonaventure into a nationally recognized and respected program. Crowley inherits a PC squad which went 5-24 overall and 1-17 in BIG EAST play last year, but returns four starters from last season, including veteran point guard Sarah Beal. The Friars were young last year, with a pair of key contributors playing their first year of basketball in America, having to adjust stylistically along the way. The BIG EAST Preseason Coaches’ Poll, major awards and all-conference selections are based on ballots cast by the league’s 10 head coaches, who cannot vote for their own team or student-athletes.

The BIG EAST Volleyball Championship has been held at the Al McGuire Center four times, including most recently in 2014. Marquette has consistently been among the league leaders in women’s basketball attendance, with over 20,000 fans passing through the doors during 2015-16 season. “We are very excited that Marquette University has been awarded the opportunity to host the 2017 BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Tournament,” Marquette Vice President and Director of Athletics Bill Scholl stated. “Milwaukee is a fantastic city, and we believe our visitors will really enjoy their time here. It is a privilege to host this premier women’s basketball event, and I know that our staff will do an excellent job in welcoming all 10 BIG EAST teams to the Al McGuire Center. It is a great opportunity for our program.” Led by second-year head coach Carolyn Kieger, Marquette boasted Division I’s youngest lineup in 2015-16 which included eight freshmen and no seniors. After being picked ninth in the BIG EAST Preseason Poll, the Golden Eagles surprised many with notable wins over the likes of Wisconsin, Auburn, St. John’s and Seton Hall, three of which were either ranked in the top 25 or receiving votes at the time. Marquette went on to finish in a tie for fifth place in the conference standings, and Kieger welcomes back all letterwinners from that squad for this

Notebook Jessica January is BIG EAST Preseason Player of the Year

ePaul senior guard Jessica January was voted the BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Preseason Player of the Year by the league’s head coaches, announced at Media Day. Villanova’s Kelly Jekot was tabbed BIG EAST Preseason Freshman of the Year. The BIG EAST head coaches, who were not permitted to vote for their own players, also selected a Preseason All-BIG EAST Team which included four unanimous picks: Georgetown junior guard Dorothy Adomako, Marquette sophomore guard Allazia Blockton, Creighton senior guard Marissa Janning and Georgetown sophomore guard Dionna White. Additional all-league honorees included Creighton’s Audrey Faber and MC McGrory, DePaul’s Brooke Schulte, Marquette’s Natisha Hiedeman, Villanova’s Adrianna Hahn and Alex Louin, and Xavier’s Raeshaun Gaffney. January was an All-BIG EAST Second Team member as a junior in 2015-16, leading the conference in assists (5.9) while ranking fourth in steals (1.9) and ninth in scoring (14.1). January enters her senior campaign as the BIG EAST’s active career leader in assists (425) and steals (199), while listing second in points (1,230) and rebounds (457). The DePaul guard had three of her biggest games of the year in March as the Blue Demons made their run to the NCAA Sweet 16, averaging 21 points, 4.7 assists and .568 shooting in three NCAA Tourney games which included the upset win at third-seeded Louisville. January looks to become the third consecutive DePaul guard to be elected BIG EAST Player of the Year following Chanise Jenkins in 2016 and Brittany Hrynko in 2015. Jekot headlines a freshman class of seven for Villanova. The Enola, Pa., native was the USA Today Pennsylvania Player of the Year and two-time Gatorade Pennsylvania Player of the Year while at Cumberland Valley High School. The 6-0 guard averaged 21.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.0 steals per game as a senior. Janning played just six games last season for Creighton before suffering a season-ending injury on Nov. 28. The senior guard, who was granted a medical redshirt, was the 2014 BIG EAST Player of the Year and enters 2016-17 as the league’s active career leader in scoring with 1,563 points. The Bluejays went 4-2 with Janning in the lineup last season as she averaged 10.7 points and 5.2 assists. McGrory stepped up in Janning’s absence, most notably in the BIG EAST Tournament when she led the seventhseeded Bluejays to a title game berth. McGrory averaged over 17 points per game in the conference tournament and 12.5 overall, leading Creighton to a WNIT berth. Faber led the Bluejays in scoring and rebounding as a rookie in 2015-16, averaging 13.2 points and 4.9 boards per contest, garnering All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention and All-Freshman Team accolades at season’s end. The reigning BIG EAST Freshman of the Year, Blockton is coming off a standout 2015-16 season which saw the Marquette newcomer break the BIG EAST’s 21-year old rookie scoring record. The Marquette guard was the nation’s fourthhighest scoring freshman Jessica January and ranked 46th among

DePaul

all Division I players in scoring with an 18.7 points per game clip. Blockton is the BIG EAST’s top returning scorer and rebounder from a year ago, finishing her freshman season ranked third in the league in both categories to earn All-BIG EAST Second Team honors. Blockton highlighted the talented Marquette freshman class a year ago, which also included fellow Preseason All-BIG EAST honoree Hiedeman. Hiedeman averaged 13.7 points per game to rank 11th in the BIG EAST last season while also listing among the league leaders in steals (2.2) and three-point shooting (2.3 per game). Adomako and White provided a potent 1-2 punch for Georgetown last season, leading the Hoyas to their first national postseason berth (WNIT) since 2012 and increasing their win total from 2014-15 by 12 games for the nation’s third-best turnaround. Both players averaged 14.5 points per game had nearly identical rebounding averages, Kelly Jekot with White earning a slight edge at 6.1 per game to Villanova Adomako’s 6.0. Each claimed All-BIG EAST Second Team honors at season’s end, while White, the league’s steals leader (2.6), was also a unanimous All-Freshman Team pick. Hahn was heroic for Villanova after highly decorated and veteran guard Caroline Coyer went down with a season-ending injury in late February as the Wildcats were making their postseason push. The rookie guard stepped in and averaged 21.3 points per game over the final three regular-season tilts and went on to average 16.5 per game over the final six contests which included a pair of WNIT matchups. Hahn garnered All-Freshman Team accolades at season’s end. Louin was a consistent contributor for the Wildcats, reaching double-digit points in 18 of 32 games to rank second on the team in scoring (11.3), while her 82 dimes were also second-best on the squad. Louin was tabbed All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention to close out her sophomore campaign. Schulte is DePaul’s No. 2 returning scorer behind January, averaging 8.6 points per game as a junior last season. The 5-9 guard started all 36 games for the Blue Demons, with her .482 field goal percentage in league play among the conference leaders. Gaffney was Xavier’s leading scorer last year at 11.1 points per game, reaching double figures in 17 of 29 games. The redshir t-senior guard helped facilitate the Musketeers’ hot start to conference play last year, averaging 13.8 points as XU won five of its first six BIG EAST tilts. Gaffney went on to average a team-best 11.3 points per game in league play.

2016-17 MEDIA GUIDE

The BIG EAST Conference

he BIG EAST Conference moves forward in 2016-17, the fourth year of its current consortium of 10 outstanding and revered academic institutions. Founded by Dave Gavitt in 1979, the BIG EAST reorganized in 2013 and entered a new era by returning to its basketball-centric heritage. The league’s 10 member schools—Butler University, Creighton University, DePaul University, Georgetown University, Marquette University, Providence College, St. John’s University, Seton Hall University, Villanova University, and Xavier University—embrace a constant commitment to academic integrity, athletic excellence and community service. Val Ackerman, who previously served as founding President of the WNBA, President of USA Basketball and U.S. representative to the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), was named fifth Commissioner of the BIG EAST in conjunction with the conference’s 2 013 reconfiguration. Under her Val Ackerman leadership, the BIG EAST has maintained its reputation for top-level achievement in athletics and has continued to be influential on the national intercollegiate landscape, with many conference and school administrators currently serving on key NCAA committees. Since its inception in 1979, the BIG EAST has been lauded as a leader in innovative concepts in promotion, particularly television, and that reputation continues with the conference’s relationship with FOX Sports. The BIG EAST has a fruitful multiyear partnership with FOX Sports and its national cable network FS1. FOX’s comprehensive coverage of BIG EAST men’s basketball includes the broadcast of all regular season games on FOX, FS1, FS2 or FOX Regional Networks, as well as the BIG EAST Tournament at Madison Square Garden, college basketball’s longest-running postseason basketball conference tourney held at the same venue. The BIG EAST and FOX also have established an annual five-game marathon in men’s basketball with all 10 teams competing on the same day in league competition. BIG EAST institutions are located in seven of the

nation’s top 35 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Indianapolis, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. FOX Sports platforms carry complete coverage of women’s basketball regular season play and the BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Tournament. Every Olympic sport championship is also carried on the network or digital platforms. The BIG EAST has also increased the visibility of its member school programs with the expansion of the BIG EAST Digital Network (BEDN). When the conference launched BEDN in 2014-15, the league became the first collegiate conference to be hosted on the FOX Sports mobile platform, FOX Sports Go, the app that provides live streaming of FOX Sports content. BEDN will carry 225 live events in 2016-17, with an emphasis on women’s basketball, soccer and Olympic sport regular season and championship events. The BIG EAST Conference became a reality in May of 1979 through the vision of Gavitt, the former Providence College men’s basketball coach and athletic director. Providence, St. John’s, Georgetown, Syracuse, Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College formed the original seven-school alliance, and within the span of just a few years the conference had become a n a t i o n a l powerhouse in men’s basketball. While the composition of the BIG EAST evolved over the next three decades, the focus of its schools did not waver, reflecting a tradition of broad-based programs led by administrators and coaches who emphasize academic strength and fair play. In December of 2012, the seven BIG EAST schools that do not compete in FBS

BIG EAST Women’s Basketball

Moving Forward in 2016-17 football—DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, St. John’s, Seton Hall and Villanova—announced their intention to separate from the conference’s football-playing schools and form an independent association. On March 20, 2013, the seven schools reached an agreement that enabled them to retain the BIG EAST name and assume the old conference’s longterm pact with Madison Square Garden to host the BIG EAST Men’s Basketball Tournament, one of the premier events in college athletics. The schools also announced the addition of three distinguished institutions sharing the same academic and athletic values —Butler, Creighton and Xavier— and forged a landmark, long-term broadcast partnership with FOX Sports. The BIG EAST moved its headquarters from its original location in Providence, R.I.,, to midtown Manhattan in New York City to complete the transformation. The BIG EAST’s new era officially began on July 1, 2013, its effective date as the NCAA’s 32nd Division I conference. To complement its athletic successes, the conference launched BIG EAST Serves in 2014 to align the academic, health, leadership and service missions of the 10 member institutions. Initiatives housed under the BIG EAST Serves umbrella, such as BIG EAST Serves Day, the BIG EAST Career Consortium and the national partnership with the It’s On Us campaign against campus sexual assaults, reflect the conference’s commitment to developing the complete BIG EAST student-athlete and making a positive contribution to the campus communities of its member schools and conference’s headquarters in New York. In the fall of 2015, the BIG EAST hosted its inaugural Freshmen Fundamentals, a unique program designed to assist men’s basketball student-athletes in the transition from high school to college and the elite level of BIG EAST basketball. BIG EAST institutions boast high graduation rates for their studentathletes, and the league has always been able to say that many of its best athletes are also its best students. Ryan Arcidiacono, the starting guard for Villanova’s national champion men’s basketball team and the Most Outstanding Player at the 2016 Final Four, also was one of five finalists for the 2015-16 Senior CLASS Award in his sport for excellence in classroom, community, character and competition. DePaul women’s tennis standout Rebeca Mitrea was a conference nominee for NCAA Woman of the Year, an award that honors academic achievements, athletic excellence, community service and leadership. On the court, Mitrea is DePaul’s all-time leader in wins with 117. She competed in the doubles of the 2016 NCAA Tennis Championship. Mitrea also was honored with the Arthur Ashe Leadership and Sportsmanship Award from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA). The conference, which crowns champions in 22 sports, had league teams earn a total of 24 NCAA berths and 42 individual NCAA invitations in 2015-16. Seven different national postseason championships saw multiple BIG EAST teams participate, including five teams in men’s basketball and three in women’s basketball. BIG EAST schools produced 12 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, including six in soccer (four male, two female). Current BIG EAST men’s basketball programs have enjoyed extraordinary success over the years. Villanova won the 2016 NCAA Championship, its

In the 37 years since the original league opened its doors, BIG EAST teams have won 39 national championships in eight different sports with 144 student-athletes winning individual national titles in the league’s history history.

News & Notes The BIG Picture

The Bulldogs opened 2015-16 as winners of four of their first six, but health issues knocked out a couple key players for Butler as they fell to a 4-14 mark in BIG EAST play. Butler was young a season ago under then-second-year head coach Kurt Godlevske, with just two upperclassmen receiving significant playing time. With two of the most notable rising sophomores in the league in Tori Schickel and Brittany Ward, Godlevske will look to guide the more experienced Bulldogs back into the national postseason.

Who’s Returning DID YOU KNOW? The Bulldogs play their home games in historic Hinkle Fieldhouse, which, at the time of construction in 1928, was the largest basketball arena in the United States. Hinkle underwent renovations in 2014 which included remodeled coaching offices, chair-back seating and a new scoreboard.

KIT STETZEL Assistant Sports Information Director

Butler returns three starters and six letterwinners, highlighted by sophomores Tori Schickel and Brittany Ward, and junior Sydney Buck Buck. Schickel missed nine games due to health concerns during her freshman campaign, but still managed to finish second on the team in scoring (11 (11.8 PPG), edging out fellow rookie and 31-game starter Ward, who put up 99.8 per game. The duo was also the No. 1 and 2

rebounders on the team, with Schickel snagging a Butler-high 8.8 boards per game. Buck started all 31 games a season ago, averaging 8.8 points and posting four 20-point performances.

Who’s Gone

Two key losses for the Bulldogs are Blaire Langlois and Belle Obert. Despite playing just two years of BIG EAST basketball, Obert finished among the all-time leaders in blocks with 110 over 35 games. Langlois had a career year as a senior, averaging a team highs of 12.9 points and 2.9 assists to go along with 4.6 rebounds. Obert added 7.4 points and 6.4 boards per contest.

Storylines

Now entering their fourth year of BIG EAST play, the Bulldogs and third-year head coach Kurt Goldevske will aim to break into the upper half of the conference standings. After a trip to the WNIT in its first season as a member of the league, Butler has missed the national postseason since. The young Bulldogs gained valuable experience last year, claiming their first BIG EAST Tournament win in the process. The now more veteran group, along with the additions of proven local products Kristen Spolyar and Sydney Shetlon will look to navigate a once again challenging schedule in a bid to climb the BIG EAST standings and return to the national postseason.

He guided the Lady Stars to a 120-41 record, including a perfect 28-0 mark and the IHSAA Class 4A Girls’ Basketball State Championship in 2013. He also was part of an Indiana boys’ state championship staff as a volunteer coach at Lawrence North High School in 2004. An all-state

DID YOU KNOW? The Bluejays qualified for the national postseason for the ninth consecutive season in 2015-16, earning an at-large bid to the WNIT.

BRUCE RASMUSSEN Director of Athletics

JIM FLANERY Head Coach

News & Notes The BIG Picture

When 2014 BIG EAST Player of the Year Marissa Janning went down with a seasonending injury in December, hopes for a national postseason bid were temporarily dashed for the Bluejays. Creighton went 2-7 through the first nine games without Janning, but the tides turned and the Bluejays won five of their next seven league games before going on an historic run from BIG EAST Tournament First Round to title game in a wild four days. The late stretch pushed Creighton above .500 as the young squad qualified for the national postseason (WNIT) for the ninth consecutive year. With Janning’s request for a redshirt granted and Creighton returning 13 letterwinners and all five starters from 2015-16, the Bluejays are sure to be one of the teams to beat beat.

Who’s Returning

In a word: everyone everyone. Creighton brings back 13 letterwinners and all five starters, highlighted by Marissa Janning who missed all of conference play last season due to an injury. The 2014 BIG EAST Player of the Year earned back-to-back All-BIG EAST First Team

GLEN SISK Associate Director/Athletic Communications

honors as a sophomore and junior and ranks among Creighton’s all-time leaders in points. The Bluejays’ top nine scorers from last season return, including all-league honoree and team points leader Audrey Faber, BIG EAST Tournament star MC McGrory and 34-game starter Sydney Lamberty.

Who’s Gone

The Bluejays lose just one letterwinner – Tessa Leytem. Leytem averaged 2.3 points and 1.1 rebounds over 34 games, playing 7.9 minutes per contest and earning one start.

Storylines

Creighton had a meteoric rise through the BIG EAST Tournament last year, entering the postseason two games under .500 as it was a true win-or-go-home scenario. The Bluejays knocked off Providence in the first round before upsetting the likes of Villanova and Seton Hall to earn their first title game berth. Though Creighton fell to St. John’s in the final, the winning streak bumped the Bluejays over .500 to qualify for the WNIT, and all without senior leader Marissa Janning. Janning is back in 2016-17 after being granted a medical redshirt, and Creighton is arguably the most experienced team, from top to bottom, in the BIG EAST in 2016-17. The Bluejay roster features zero true freshmen, seven juniors and four seniors as 15th year head coach Jim Flanery will have a bevy of veterans to rotate onto the court.

News & Notes The BIG Picture

The Blue Demons are coming off their second trip to the Sweet 16 in the last three seasons and are the perennial BIG EAST favorites following three consecutive years of at least a share of the regular-season crown. In three seasons since conference realignment, DePaul boasts a BIG EAST-best 83-24 (.776) record and has earned NCAA Tournament berths in 14 consecutive seasons. The Blue Demons take a hit with the graduations of BIG EAST Player of the Year Chanise Jenkins and 2015 BIG EAST Tournament Most Outstanding Player Megan Podkowa, but in true DePaul fashion there are plenty of experienced players prepared to fill their shoes and talented newcomers waiting in the wings.

Who’s Returning

Senior guard Jessica January highlights a group of three returning starters, along with fellow seniors forward Jacqui Grant and guard Brooke Schulte Schulte. January played some of her best basketball during the Blue Demons’ run to the Sweet 16, averaging 21 points and nearly five assists per game in the NCAAs NCAAs. Overall, January led the BIG EAST in assists while ranking among the leaders in points and steals steals. Schulte started all 36 games and is the Blue Demons’ No. 2 returning scorer (8.6 PPG), while Grant, an Illinois transfer, provided a unique insideoutside option for DePaul. Other notable returners include juniors Mart’e Grays and Ashton Millender.

Who’s Gone

Two significant losses for the Blue Demons are BIG EAST Player of the Year Chanise Jenkins fellow All-BIG EAST honoree Megan Podkowa. Jenkins was DePaul’s leading scorer last year (14.5 PPG) while Podkowa was the top rebounder (7.8 RPG), with the pair combining for over 1,000 points, 400 rebounds and nearly 300 assists in 2015-16.

Storylines

Head coach Doug Bruno is coming off a Gold Medal-winning summer following another stint as assistant coach with Team USA. Bruno expects the winning ways to continue in Chicago as well, as DePaul is consistently among not only the BIG EAST’s but the nation’s top teams. Jessica January is primed to make it a three-peat for DePaul guards in claiming BIG EAST Player of the Year plaudits. In order for the Blue Demons to bring home a fourth consecutive BIG EAST regular-season crown, January will need her teammates to step up following a pair of key graduations, with plenty of potential in Brooke Schulte and Jacqui Grant. Newcomers could also have an impact in Lincoln Park this winter, especially highly ranked guard Kelly Campbell, the New Jersey Player of the Year (MSG Varsity), who will fit into the “DePaul Ball” style seamlessly. The Blue Demons will be tested early and often in non-conference, per usual, with matchups against reigning champion Connecticut, Notre Dame and Northwestern, along with potential meetings with Baylor, Ohio State and Syracuse in tournament play.

NATASHA ADAIR Head Coach

News & Notes The BIG Picture

The Hoyas are coming off their most successful season since 2011-12, boasting the nation’s third-best turnaround (+12 wins) in just their second year under head coach Natasha Adair. Georgetown finished 16-14 overall and earned its first national postseason invitation since 2012, claiming an at-large berth into the WNIT. GU’s top three scorers from that team return for 2016-17, while the Hoyas have made a name for themselves for consistently having some of the top freshmen year-in and year-out.

Who’s Returning

DID YOU KNOW? The Georgetown women’s basketball team moved into their new home in the Thompson Center this summer which was constructed adjacent to McDonough Arena. Among the many features, the four-story, 144,000 square-foot Thompson Center includes two large practice courts, sports medicine and weight training areas, a Student-Athlete Academic and Leadership Center, numerous team meeting rooms and auditorium.

BARBARA BARNES Director of Sports Information

Georgetown flirted with the three-peat for BIG EAST Freshman of the Year but Dionna White, a highly talented guard, was edged out in the balloting despite her 14.5 points, 6.1 14. rebounds and 44.1 assists averages averages. White listed a close second behind team scoring leader and All-BIG EAST pick Dorothy Adomako who returns for her junior season, while the squad’s No No. 3 scorer, Faith Woodard is also back on the Hilltop Hilltop. Other notable returners include DiDi Burton and Yazmine Belk.

Who’s Gone

The Hoyas lose just one starter in Dominique Vitalis who averaged 6.0 points and 5.5 rebounds. Regular contributors Katie McCormick (5.8 PPG) and Logan Battle (7.7 PPG, 4.8 RPG) also graduated in May.

Storylines

Head coach Natasha Adair was charged with changing the culture for Georgetown Women’s Basketball, and in just two years under her tutelage, evidence of the shift is obvious. The Hoyas are coming off their most successful season in four years, going from a 4-27 squad to a 16-14 team which earned an at-large berth into the WNIT. With their top three scorers and four starters back for 2016-17, along with the addition of Wake Forest transfer Mykia Jones and junior college transfer Cynthia Petke (Chipola College), Georgetown is primed to continue its ascension both within the BIG EAST and on a national level.

News & Notes The BIG Picture

The Golden Eagles proved that experience can be overrated as Marquette was the nation’s youngest squad last year yet finished in a tie for fifth in the BIG EAST standings and narrowly missed a shot at a national postseason berth. Backed by the highest scoring freshman in league history, Allazia Blockton, MU finished among the national leaders in points per game (77.4), and return over 99 percent of the scoring from a year ago.

Who’s Returning

DID YOU KNOW? Marquette was the youngest team in Division I during the 2015-16 season and defied the odds to finish in fifth place in the conference standings. The young and athletic Golden Eagles earned three victories over teams in the top 25 or receiving votes.

MEGAN O’SHEA Assistant Director of Media Relations

Marquette returns all five starters and all nine letterwinners from 2015-16, highlighted by BIG EAST Freshman of the Blockton Year Allazia Blockton. Blockton snapped the BIG EAST’s 21-year old rookie scoring record and finished as the nation’s fourth-highest scoring freshman and within the top 50 among all Division I players Fellow rising players. sophomores Natisha Hiedeman, who listed second on the team in scoring, and Erika Davenport, the squad’s No No. 2 rebounder, join senior McKayla Yentz and junior Shantelle Valentine as other notable returners.

Who’s Gone

Marquette loses just one player from last season – Ines Mata who played in 10 games and scored five total points.

Storylines

In just her second season at the helm, head coach Carolyn Kieger was charged with replacing all five starters, returning just two letterwinners and welcoming a group of eight freshmen. In what most would have deemed a “rebuilding year”, Kieger’s young squad recovered from a slow start to attack the scoreboard and earn highscoring victories over three teams which were either ranked or receiving votes. With all major pieces of that puzzle back for 2016-17, along with additions of decorated junior college player Chelsey Gibson and newcomers Isabelle Spignola, a highly rated guard out of Chicago, and Altia Anderson, the 2016 Gatorade Player of the Year for Delaware, the Golden Eagles will not be overlooked this year. Marquette is also serving as host of the BIG EAST Tournament for the first time, as cutting the nets on their home court of the Al McGuire Center in March would prove an amazing feat for Kieger and company.

ROBERT G. DRISCOLL, JR. Athletic Director

JIM CROWLEY Head Coach

News & Notes The BIG Picture

Jim Crowley is the new sheriff in town in Providence, taking over as head coach this past May. Crowley has a proven track record of success at St. Bonaventure, posting 20-win seasons in six of the last eight years and earning six national postseason berths, including 2016’s NCAA Second Round trip. Crowley inherits a Providence team which has finished under .500 for six consecutive seasons under two different coaches, but the hopes are high in Friartown that they have found the right person for the job.

Who’s Returning DID YOU KNOW? Famed college basketball, NBA and WNBA analyst Doris Burke was a four-year letterwinner for Providence College (1983-87). Burke (formerly Sable), led the Friars in assists in three of her four seasons.

JENNIFER RYNEARSON Assistant Athletic Director/ Media Relations

Providence returns nine of its top-10 scorers from a season ago, including leader Sarah Beal (10.8), (10 deep threat Yoyo Nogic (52 3FGM) and rebounding champ Aliyah Miller (5.0 (5 RPG). RPG) Rookie Maddie Jolin saw her playing time and productivity increase as the season went on, averaging just shy of 10 points over games the last six games.

Who’s Gone

The Friars lose just one key contributor from a season ago – Evi Iiskola, who averaged 5.9 points and 2.7 rebounds, starting 26 games.

Storylines

Coach Crowley referenced “the opportunity and the challenge” as reasons for accepting the job as head coach of the Providence women’s basketball team; the opportunity to lead a team with a rich history, one which includes success in the BIG EAST Conference, and the challenge being that the Friars haven’t tasted success in some time. Providence has all but one starter back from last season, including veteran point guard Sarah Beal. The Friars were young last year, with a pair of key contributors playing their first year of basketball in America, having to adjust stylistically along the way. With another year under their belts, along with the addition of talented freshmen Ny’Dajah Jackson out of Oakland, Calif., Julia Thissell of Hopkington, Mass., and Maggie Ahearn out of nearby Tabor Academy, the Friars and their new mentor will look to make strides in the right direction in 2016-17.

DID YOU KNOW? The Red Storm claimed their first BIG EAST Tournament title since 1984 in 2016. Earning its third crown overall, St. John’s became the first No. 4 seed to win the tourney and the lowest seed since fifth-seeded Boston College won in 2004.

News & Notes The BIG Picture

St. John’s is coming off its first BIG EAST Tournament title since 1988 and its fourth overall, but this Red Storm team which has earned NCAA Championship berths twice in the last three seasons faces a new obstacle. St. John’s will have to figure out life without 2016 WNBA Draft picks Aliyyah Handford and Danaejah Grant. Over the past three seasons, Handford and Grant have accounted for nearly 50 percent (49.5) of St. John’s points, collecting countless league and national recognitions along the way. The new-look Red Storm will be tested regularly during nonconference play this coming year as five of their opponents are coming off NCAA Tournament appearances, including three of their first five foes.

Who’s Returning

St. John’s returns three starters and eight letterwinners from last year’s squad, headlined by Jade Walker and Aaliyah Lewis. Both Walker Lewis and Lewis are coming off career seasons, ranking third and

fourth behind Grant and Handford in scoring, respectively. Both players increased their scoring and rebounding figures while reducing turnovers from 2014-15. Akina Wellere, who saw action in all 33 games last year, also returns for the Red Storm.

Who’s Gone

St. John’s is arguably hit hardest among all BIG EAST teams by graduation this year. Handford graduated as the Red Storm’s all-time points leader and garnered All-America recognition twice, while Grant, who spent her freshman season at Clemson, won the league’s overall scoring title this year en route to All-BIG EAST First Team honors.

Storylines

With the graduations of Aliyyah Handford and Danaejah Grant, fifth-year head coach Joe Tartamella will need scorers to step up. A trio of incoming guards show promise for the Red Storm, with Minneapolis native Andrayah Adams scoring 3,000 points in high school, transfer Kendyl Nunn out of Illinois-Chicago serving as a deep threat and Alisha Kebbe out of Philadelphia is one of the top-ranked guards in the Class of 2016. The new cast of characters along with veterans Aaliyah Lewis and Jade Walker will have to learn to adjust on the fly as the challenging non-conference schedule Tartamella has built gets rolling rather quickly.

DID YOU KNOW? Seton Hall has enjoyed its most successful stretch since Tony Bozzella took the reins prior to the start of the 2013-14 campaign. The Hall’s three-year record of 71-29 is its most successful in program history and its 71 wins during that stretch is more than its previous six seasons combined.

News & Notes The BIG Picture

After returning just one starter in 2015-16, expectations were mild for the Pirates as the league’s coaches picked them to finish fifth. Fast forward to March and The Hall was in the midst of its third consecutive 20-win season under third-year head coach Tony Bozzella, finishing in a tie for second in the BIG EAST standings and earning their second straight NCAA Tournament at-large berth. Bozzella will need to work his magic once again in 2016-17 as only one starter is back from last season’s campaign.

Who’s Returning

Senior center Lubirdia Gordon is The Hall’s top returner, coming off a junior season in which she averaged 55.5 points and 66.8 boards per game game. Gordon’s playing time tapered a bit towards the end of the season, but she still finished among the league leaders in rebounding and blocks blocks. Sophomore guard LaTecia Smith earned a trio of starts as a rookie last year, backing up veteran all-league point guard Shakena Richardson. With Richardson graduated, Smith will be counted on more for ball-handling duties in 2016-17.

Who’s Gone

The Pirates graduate over 80 percent of their scoring from last year, including the reigning BIG EAST scoring champion Tabatha Richardson-Smith, and the league’s top rebounder in ’15-16, Tiffany Jones. RichardsonSmith, Aleesha Powell and Shakena Richardson all garnered All-BIG EAST accolades and graduated in May.

Storylines

The Pirates have entered the season as underdogs for quite some time, something fourth-year head coach Tony Bozzella has used as bulletin board material since returning to his alma mater three years ago. In each of Bozzella’s three seasons, The Hall has defied those expectations, earning national postseason berths, including back-toback at-large NCAA Tournament invites, and battling their way into the top 25. Bozzella always seems to have a trick, or transfer, up his sleeve that elevates Seton Hall to the next level, and this year’s roster may be no different with Louisiana Tech transfer JaQuan Jackson now eligible and primed to lead the Pirates in scoring. Eyes will be on Kaela Hilaire as well, coming off a senior season which she averaged 29.8 points per game and was named Newsday Girls Player of the Year.

MARK JACKSON Director of Athletics

HARRY PERRETTA Head Coach

News & Notes The BIG Picture

Finding success down the stretch, Villanova found itself in the NCAA Tournament “bubble” conversation late in the season, but when senior All-BIG EAST guard Caroline Coyer went down with a season-ending injury all seemed lost. In stepped freshman Adrianna Hahn, however, who played brilliantly when called upon, averaging nearly 17 points per game over the final six contests. Hahn gives hope to the post-Coyer era, along with proven veterans Alex Louin, Samantha Wilkes and Megan Quinn.

Who’s Returning

DID YOU KNOW?

Head coach Harry Perretta earned career win No. 700 and BIG EAST win No. 300 last season. Perretta became just the fourth coach in BIG EAST history, men’s or women’s, to earn 300 conference wins, joining Jim Calhoun (Connecticut), Jim Boeheim (Syracuse), and Geno Auriemma (Connecticut).

DEAN KENEFICK Associate Athletic Director/Communications

Adrianna Hahn served as Caroline Coyer’s backup through most of 2015-16, coming off the bench to average 9.2 points per game. When Coyer went down with an injury, Hahn stepped up, bumping her average 10.6 per game as to 10 Villanova made a push for the postseason postseason. She returns for her sophomore season in 2016-17, along with juniors Alex Louin (12 (12.3 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 2.6 APG) and Megan Quinn (8 (8.7 PPG). Samantha Wilkes is the lone senior expected to start for the relatively young Wildcats, coming off a junior season which she averaged 5.6 points and 4.0 boards per game.

Who’s Gone

Villanova graduates sisters Caroline and Katherine Coyer. Caroline is a two-time All-BIG EAST First Team selection, totaling 1,342 points and 449 assists during her four-year career. Samantha Wilkes and Jordan Dillard are the lone seniors expected to see valuable playing time at the forward positions on the relatively young Wildcats squad.

Storylines

Villanova has gone to five consecutive national postseasons, coming off a WNIT bid last year. The Wildcats were on their way to possibly another NCAA berth in 2016 but a BIG EAST Tournament Quarterfinal exit doomed their chances. Collective breaths were held when Caroline Coyer went down with an injury late last season, but a sigh of relief was heard when Adrianna Hahn stepped in and the Wildcats didn’t miss a beat, even leading head coach Harry Perretta to his 700th career win. Hahn highlights a solid group of returners, along with Alex Louin, Megan Quinn and Samantha Wilkes, while Villanova also has the added support of Tennessee transfer Jannah Tucker and rookies Kelly Jekot, the Gatorade Pennsylvania Player of the Year, and Mary Gedaka, two-time South Jersey Player of the Year. Samantha Wilkes and Jordan Dillard are the lone seniors expected to see valuable playing time at the forward positions on the relatively young Wildcats squad.

News & Notes The BIG Picture

Now entering their fourth season of BIG EAST play, Xavier is looking to get over the hump and into the upper half of the league. Making giant leaps from their first year (3-15, ninth place) to their second (8-10, 7th), the thirdyear Musketeers replicated their 2014-15 outcome with an 8-10, seventh-place finish. Xavier got off to a promising start in ’15-16, winning its first three BIG EAST games but ended the campaign on a seven-game skid. Injuries took a toll on the Musketeers last year, but a healthy, experienced group of players aim a return to Xavier’s proven successful ways.

Who’s Returning DID YOU KNOW? Xavier established the “Lauren Hill Tipoff Classic” beginning last season, honoring the late Lauren Hill. Xavier’s Cintas Center was where cancer-stricken Hill made her courageous debut for Mount St. Joseph, scoring the first points of the 2014-15 college basketball season.

GREG LAUTZENHEISER Assistant Director Of Athletic Communications

The Musketeers return two starters from a season ago in guard Raeshaun Gaffney (11 (11.1 PPG, 44.8 RPG, 1.7 APG) and forward Maddison Blackwell (6 (6.8 PPG, 4.3 RPG). Forward Leah RPG) Schaefer, who saw action in all 30 games last year and started three, averaged 33.4 points and 3.9 boards as a junior junior.

Who’s Gone

XU loses a trio of starters in All-BIG EAST honoree Briana Glover, Aliyah Zantt and Jenna Crittendon. Glover was among the most accurate shooters in the conference last season and ranked second behind Raeshaun Gaffney for the team lead in scoring (11.1 PPG). Zantt was one of the top defensive guards in the conference, totaling 52 steals last season, while Crittendon battled through injuries to be a clutch performer for the Musketeers.

Storylines

Head coach Brian Neal enters his fourth season on the sidelines at Xavier and will look to lead the Musketeers back into the national postseason. XU was on the outside looking in after finishing with a 17-13 mark last year, suffering a narrow BIG EAST Tournament First Round setback to close out the season. With 10 letterwinners returning, Neal will challenge his experienced team more in the nonconference this season, with the likes of Michigan, Wake Forest and Oklahoma on the calendar. Xavier’s group of veterans are bolstered by the addition of a pair of talented freshmen in Ashely Gomez, a sharp-shooting guard out of Oklahoma City, and Na’Teshia Owens, a decorated multi-sport athlete out of Texas.

2015-16 Review S UPERLATIVES

Allazia Blockton (Marquette) broke the 21-year old BIG EAST freshman scoring record with 337 points over 18 games for an 18.7 points per game average. Blockton was the league’s No. 3 scorer both overall and in conference play.

Chanise Jenkins matched the BIG EAST single-game record for threepointers made with 10 triples at Georgetown on Feb. 7.

Butler’s Belle Obert recorded just the second points-rebounds-blocks triple-doubles by a BIG EAST player in league history, going 12-11-10 in a win over TCU on Dec. 15.

Aliyyah Handford became St. John’s alltime leading scorer with her 27-point effort against Providence on Feb. 26. The Newark, N.J., native graduated with 2,058 points over her four-year career.

Seton Hall’s Tabatha Richardson-Smith won the BIG EAST scoring title while teammate Tiffany Jones was the league’s top rebounder as the Pirates became just the second program in conference history to lead the league in both statistical categories in the same season.

Student-athletes from across the conference’s 10 member schools enjoyed an interactive educational and professional development weekend, which included Q&A sessions with such industry leaders as Doris Burke, the New York Liberty’s Katie Smith and Teresa Weatherspoon, and etiquette and branding specialist DeNita Turner.

I hope that these women understand the message that everyone seemed to send that regardless of what your field of endeavor is, hard work is going to get you there.

“

It was a great experience, seeing some of the women who have achieved such success in their respective fields and giving us advice on their journeys. To speak with [Providence graduate] Doris Burke, she gave us a lot of great advice on different things that she’s been through – especially to keep pushing, you’ll have a lot of obstacles, you just have to overcome and stick with it if it’s something you love.
