As I was watching the game against DePaul last night, it seemed a lot closer than the score. I was pretty impressed with DePaul, seems they're actually a pretty good team, and a good program. This lead me to think about the Big East Conference, which IMO, is really a very competitive league from top to bottom. I think it will remain that way too because it's got a stable of really good coaches. There's no perennial doormats that I can see.
I know that G'Town is having a bad year, and that some don't think Ewing is very good, but I'm not one of them. Ewing will be fine, and so will Georgetown.
Eventually, and it won't be long, UConn will regain the talent level advantage it had from winning so many championships. Hurley has proven that he can both recruit and teach. I also like that his teams, as did those of Calhoun, Wooden and Dean Smith, typically peak at the end of the season, a key to winning championships. I'm thrilled that we are back in the Big East, and pleased that it's as big as ever.
