“Obviously, UConn is a huge brand,” said Steele, 38, the youngest coach in the league. “It’s a terrific program with a very, very rich tradition, national titles, Big East titles, some incredible players have come through that program.

Don't underestimate (new) Big East. It is still an intense- physical league.
