Big East January '26 Thread - Take Two

XAVIER AT THE BUZZERRRRR

Such a choke job by DePaul. Missed multiple layups down the stretch and end up losing at the horn. Electric ending!

The lower half of the Big East echelon feels like the same team copied 5 times. It’s uncanny

Unwatchable - I can’t think of a year that I knew less players in most of the league.

Same thing in the Big 10 and ACC, they just have a lot more teams and more top tier teams this season.

The ACC is a bit of a snooze, but they do have some exciting diaper dandies out there between Wilson, Brown & Duke. Although I don't find Ville all that interesting to watch given how imbalanced they are.

Big10 is lame at the bottom, but they obviously have lot's of fun teams at the top. UM, MSU, Illinois, Purdue, Nebraska. They still don't have nearly the star talent that the B12 has.

The BE is a total bore given 8 of the teams aren't even battling for a tourney seed. There is almost no reason to watch. Do we really care what Xavier does against Marquette?

More than ever, given the consolidation of talent, watching non relevant teams is pretty boring.

I agree, most Big East teams are a snooze this season and we're the weakest out of the power conferences this season. The Big 12 is the only conference I really like watching outside of UConn games. We aren't even all that fun a watch lately but I like watching winning and the process. I hope we start to see us playing better with tonight's game.

How dare you say anything negative about the Big East! There's a certain insufferable poster who is going to want to take your head off for this.

No, we aren't really must watch this season stylistically, but there is a bit here where we got a significant win streak trying to hold onto the BE lead & a 1 seed, and seeing if we pop. But I'd agree this is not an exciting Uconn team, at all.
