I had to think about this, but I decided the answer is Villanova. It's not a heated rivalry in terms of animosity, but both UConn and Nova have something other Big East schools don't have - several national championships since the conference was formed in 1979, and a credible claim to be considered among college basketball's elite programs. We're a couple of NCs ahead of them right now, but at least there's some semblance of a race to be the bluest blood in the Big East.

If PC or St. John's ever got good enough to seriously contend for an NC, I think they'd jump into play as well. There's some juice with Creighton, but it's too new, and it's heavily dependent on the happenstance of them having been better than UConn when we rejoined the Big East and having beaten us the first few times we played. I'm not sure if we'll keep circling that one on the schedule now that we've established that we can beat them, and certainly hold our own against them.

Does anyone else's cursor disappear when the popup ads on the Boneyard refresh? Weird.
