    Best case scenario for UConn (and Big East)

    To those who argue that a 21 win BE team would automatically make the Tournament because no such team has ever been left out, you have to take into consideration how bad the BE is this year. 21 wins this year is not the same as 21 wins in previous years. Seton Hall is going to need more than...

    Inter-conference records among the majors

    Anyone else find it funny that the numbers posted in this thread to try to prove that the Big East is not doing as badly as many are saying actually show that the Big East is clearly the worst major conference this season?

    Final BE OOC thread 25/26

    There is no world in which Villanova makes the Tournament by losing to Wisconsin, going 12-8 in the BE and not winning a single game in the BET.

    The View From Section 241 — Temple

    While I agree that beating the likes of Merrimack, FAU, Buffalo and Temple is not particularly impressive, especially when compared to some of the teams we beat in 2022, what is extremely impressive is how we absolutely dominated those first three opponents and how we found a way to beat Temple...

    Donny Marshall

    Not sure how he is employed by Fox. It is hard to be as bad as he is as a commentator.

    Depaul Home Game (January 2nd)-What will be open in or near Storrs?

    Had planned for months to attend whichever UConn home game ended up being scheduled for the first week of January as I will travel to New York City that week. As luck would have it, we got Depaul that week at Gampel. In terms of restaurants on or near campus, anyone know what should be open on...

    Buying BE Tournament tickets ahead of time

    You choose a price/locating range, UConn assigns you with the exact location based on donation level. We got assigned Section 8.

    Any TV Update for CCSU in Week 1?

    I see that there is a Fox 61 app available for iPads/iPhones. Does anyone know if the game will be streamed there? Thanks

    Who Will Be the 12th Big East Team?

    If staying at 20 League games is necessary, we can still do that with 12 teams. You would play 9 teams twice and 2 teams once.

    Who Will Be the 12th Big East Team?

    The Big East needs to expand to 12 teams at the very least for a number of reasons. First and foremost, one of the largest source of revenue for a basketball centric league like the BE are NCAA Tournament units. The more teams you have in conference, the more teams you are likely to have make...

    UConn rivals old and new: Big East feels more complete to Jay Wright, builder of Villanova’s championships

    That’s not the point. Of course the 2016 team was great (as was the 2018 team). The point is that 2-3 players on those teams would not have attended Villanova if the 2012-2013 Big East remained in place.

    UConn rivals old and new: Big East feels more complete to Jay Wright, builder of Villanova’s championships

    The question I often ask is whether Nova would have won it all in 2016 and 2018 if they still shared a conference with UConn (and Syracuse, Pitt, Louisville, etc.) during those years. I think the answer is no. But credit to them; they took full advantage of the conference breakup to build...

    Feeling pretty good

    With UConn gone, Temple really finds itself on an island in the AAC (Navy is only a football member). That is a recipe for disaster. If UConn can make independence work, I would not be surprised to see Temple try to do the same assuming they can go back to the A10 for non-football sports (or if...
