Previewing Big East Media Day

Big East Media Day is Wednesday at Madison Square Garden. Coaches, players and administrators from the 10 member schools will be in attendance along with league Commissioner Val Ackerman and members of the media. Brendan McGair of The Woonsocket Call reported on Twitter that Ed Cooley will be accompanied by LaDontae Henton, Carson Desrosiers, Tyler Harris and Kris Dunn. For those on Twitter, the Big East announced the official hashtag of the event will be #BEmediaday.

A digital broadcast of #BEmediaday will stream on http://t.co/NA4DTXSKxD beginning at 10:30am (men) tomorrow, with women following at 2:00pm

The Big East sent out a press release Tuesday night to announce that there will be streaming beginning at 10:30am on BigEast.com. The 10:30am show will be for the men’s portion of the day and will be hosted by Fox Sports’ Tim Brando. There will also be enhanced social media which is detailed in the press release.

I thought it would be a good time to gauge what fans thought about who will be named to the Preseason All-BIG EAST team, Preseason Player of the Year and Preseason Coach of the Year along with who you believe will top the Preseason Coaches Poll and more.
