Now, with two consecutive na tional championships, the Big East has some big shoes to fill — six sneakers to be exact. Gone are Georgetown’s Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullin of St. John’s and Ed Pinckney of Villanova, three of the hosts for last spring’s NCAA get-together in Kentucky. But there are plenty of candi dates to replace the three four- year starters, and plenty of teams ready to vie for the top spots in the East. Georgetown and Syracuse still are considered Top 10 teams, and the rest of the conference has a solid nucleus that spells another season of success for the 7-year- old league. Syracuse returns four starters, including two All-Big East selec tions from last season — Rafael Addison, who averaged 18.4 points per game, and Dwayne *‘Pearl” Washington, the exciting 6-foot-2 guard. The Orangemen also have 6-4 sophomore Michael Brown, who averaged 8.4 points per game last season, and 6-10 Rony Seikaly. Georgetown Coach John Thompson is looking at a season with another well-stocked bench. Three Hoyas starters return from the team that reached the championship game of the NCAA tournament the past two years. David Wingate, who averaged 12.4 points, Reggie Williams (11.9) and Michael Jackson (7.3) will be the core of the team. In Thompson’s style of coaching, ev eryone saw plenty of playing time, so the limelignt shouldn’t be anything new for past reserves Horace Broadnax, Perry McDon ald and Ralph Dalton, Ewing’s 6- 11 backup, who decided to return for a fifth season of eligibility. Coaches Lou Carnesecca at St. 4t College Basketball Preview John’s and Rollie Massimino at Villanova should have tough times repeating last year’s success with the Recnnen’s graduation losses of Mullin and 7-0 Bill Wen- nington and the Wildcats’ de parted trio of Pinckney, Dwayne McClain and Gary McLain. Even two representative recruiting years won’t bring these two teams to the Big East’s upper level. Again, the middle of the Big East is solid with Boston College, Pittsburgh and this year’s new comer to the conference’s high- rent district — Seton Hall. The Atlantic 10 Conference and Metro Atlantic Athletic Con ference will have a lot more in common this year than trying to get out of the Big East’s snadow. Each conference’s title game will | be part of a double-header at The I Meadowlands Arena. St. Joseph's and its outstanding p guard, Maurice Martin (16.5), | should lead the way in the Atlan- tic 10 over Temple, last year's I champion, which will be led by ; i Nate Blackwell (11.8) and Ed Coe | (10.0). West Virginia could also con- | tend for the title, led by senior j guard Dale Blaney (12.3), and 11 freshman Darryl Prue, a 6-7 for-11 ward. Things might finally chaneein , the MAAC. Iona ana Fordnam, 11 who have met in the last three i 1 championship games, should be | challenged by La Salle and Holy 1 Cross, which features the league’s: jjj leading returning scorer, Jim Me- I Caffrey (21.7). Penn again should take the Ivy j 1 League’s NCAA berth. Coach 1 Tom Schneider will rely heavily | on guard Perry Bromwell (15.3), 1 Cornell returns four starters in- | eluding 6-1 John Bajusz(15.4), In tne EC AC Metro, Marist l! should lead the way. It’s a team f with five foreign-born starters in- | eluding 7-3 Rick Smits from The H Netherlands, who had a fresh- | man average of 11.2 points, 5,6 | rebounds and 75 blocked shots. | Northeastern and its ECAC | Player of the Year, 6-7 ReggieLe- wis (24.1 and 7.8) should rule the I ECAC North Atlantic. Lehigh has four starters re- | turning from the team that faced | Georgetown last March, but the | Engineers should face some stiff I competition in the East Coast | Conference from Drexel, which | returns all live starters from the • team that finished second in the ECU last year. The two Eastern indepen- I dents, Brooklyn College and j Utica, face the same task as in j previous years — cracking the elite of eastern basketball without a conference affiliation.
