With Big East play now underway, we thought we would add a new feature to our post-game coverage that allows our readers to grade the ‘Nova's performance as a team as well as the play of the Guards, Bigs, and Reserves (10 minutes or less of play) after each game.
To provide a consistent yardstick, consider the definitions below for Grades A, C and F. Use B and D as intermediate grades.
Team Grading:
A = Outstanding (Final Four Caliber)
C = Average (Possible NIT Selection Caliber)
F = Poor (Definitely Not Dancing in March)
Player Grading:
A = Outstanding (All-America Caliber)
C = Average (All-Ivy Caliber)
F = Poor (One to Forget)
Coach Grading:
A = Outstanding (National Coach of the Year)
C = Average (Competent)
F = Poor (Significantly Out-coached by the Opposing Coach)
Considering the Cats 81-65 victory over Rutgers, select one grade each for the Team, the Guards, the Bigs, Reserves, and Coach (total of 5 votes). Use the comments section to explain your thinking.
