Previewing Big East Preview Season
One of my favorite things to do all summer is collect Big East projections and line ’em all up to create one big repository. I’ve done it each of the past 3 years and find it not only m…

5 questions with Xavier's Sean Miller
Sean Miller has again turned Xavier into a national factor. After a long stint as the head coach of Arizona, Miller returned to Xavier prior to last season and led the Musketeers to 27 wins and a berth in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2017. I caught up with Miller on Tuesday […]

Not great
I think this is a byproduct of the mega conference. It leaves less room for discussion.
The combination of being a top 25 program and playing home games at the Garden is even more valuable now. It will still allow SJU the ability to put together a top end schedule.
With Pundits and voters having a B10 bias (seems like it right?) - the challenge certainly helps the BE retain status during conf play in the polls (given we win a decent amount of games in the challenge).
Val's gotta do all she can to keep this relationship going
Around late 2019 the Big East was in discussions with the Pac 12 about a challenge, though it would've been more limited I think to half the conference teams. From what I read UCLA and USC were the reason it didn't happen. Now that they're in the Big Ten I'm not surprised about this impasse.
Another reason why scheduling Duke and Alabama is so huge. Sucks for the conference if this isn't finalized, but St. John's won't have any issues scheduling with Pitino here.

To look at it from the bright side, now we don't have to worry about playing Nebraska or minnesota. Can replace that hopefully with another marque Garden game (Gonzaga? MSU? dare I say, Cuse?). With pitino at least, I don't think this is necessarily bad for SJU short term, though it is certainly not good for the conference.
You had me until Syracuse. Screw them. We should not save them by scheduling a game at the Garden.
Syracuse left because they had a football program and that meant they were too fancy for the BE. Well now neither their football or basketball program are fancy. Syracuse is now just ordinary.
The conference can take a step back and be selective. There is no room for an average program that needs the BE much more than the BE needs them.
Also forgotten is Syracuse originally was playing SJU OOC and then stopped as soon as SJU won a few games. And that was clearly at a time where a Syracuse game was beneficial to SJU. Now SJU can scheduled Alabama and Duke with a phone call. SJU will do what they want but I wouldn’t even answer a phone call from the Syracuse AD. Totally don’t need them now.
