Biggest Surprise: Kelan Martin, Butler

Biggest Disappointment: The St John’s Red (lack of) Storm
With their favorite former player, Chris Mullen, returning to his alma mater as head coach, St. John’s finished this season 8-24 overall and a measly 1-17 in Big East conference play.

Biggest Controversy: None
Come on, what did you expect from a league that consists of all Catholic and private schools?
