Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

We are just a few weeks away from the start of another chapter of Big East Hoops. As we have for over a decade, we will keep count of the regular season results of the Big East against the ACC, Big XII, Big 10, SEC and for what is likely the final time - the PAC12. Below is the schedule as it exists today. As teams move through Tournaments I will update and add games - these are just the ones that are currently on the schedule. Our conference schedule this year is going to be an absolute beast - so lets enjoy this time of Big East comradery and in the words of the late John Thompson, "show these boys some Big East Basketball". Good luck all.

We appreciate you doing this. Thanks.

Love the first two months of non con each year. Big east bro vibes, down with the P5!

When this thread opens up... we know the season is around the corner!

LETS GOOOO BIG EAST!!!! Big East against the world!!!

Time to get started. The BIG EAST battle against the F5 begins tomorrow at the corner of West 33rd Street and 7th Avenue in New York City at the World's Most Famous Arena at 6:30. Rick Pitino returns to the sidelines of Madison Square Garden with the Red Storm as the Johnnies welcome the Michigan Wolverines to Mid-Town Manhattan. Two hours later, Sean Miller will bring his Musketeers to Indiana to take on the #3 Purdue Boilermakers. Pitino and Miller set to carry the banner to get things rolling. What appears to be the last Gavitt Games are set to begin. Let's get two tomorrow.

A BIG EAST night to forget. Despite a packed Madison Square Garden clamoring for a win, the Johnnies fall flat and drop Pitino’s Garden return against Michigan. Xavier put up a better fight at Purdue but also took an L. But tomorrow is another day and we have a chance to move back to the winning side of the ledger. The Gavitt games continue with Marquette on the road at Illinois and the Friars and Jays hosting the Badgers and Hawkeyes. Let’s take all three.
