The Big East season is about to kick into high gear, and several duos have emerged as notable scoring threats. These are the highest-scoring teammates in the Big East, as the conference has two ranked teams. Per the Associated Press Top 25 poll<\/a>, Marquette is eighth and two-time defending national champion UConn is 11th.<\/span><\/p>\n

Analyzing The Best Big East Basketball Scoring Duos<\/h2>\n

High-Scoring Duos Leading The Way For Big East Contenders<\/b><\/h3>\n

No one player is going to lead a team to the promised land in a conference as competitive as the Big East. Whether adding star freshmen or talented transfers, some of the conference’s best players are aided by the arrival of a second scoring option.<\/span><\/p>\n

Points might be harder to come by now that the Big East season is upon us. Each team has played at least two conference games, with Marquette, Georgetown and UConn still undefeated in conference play.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Xavier duo of <\/span>Zach Freemantle<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Ryan Conwell<\/span><\/a> would be on the list, with both players averaging more than 16 points per game. However, an injury<\/a> suffered by Freemantle is <\/span>sidelining the star<\/span> indefinitely.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dixon and Poplar: the Top Big East Scoring Tandem<\/b><\/h3>\n

Eric Dixon<\/span><\/a> has been asked to do it all for the Villanova Wildcats. He has gone from averaging 16.6 points on 46.5% shooting last season to 25.8 points on 53.8 FG%.<\/span><\/p>\n
