College hoops at noon on a week day? Sign me up. Even better, a lunch date with Juli Boeheim today. For my money, the Big East Tournament has always been the most entertaining save for a few years of the ACC and a certain guy named Randolph Childress.
Syracuse and Villanova kick it off for us early, both needed a win in the worst way. Most are under the impression that 'Cuse is in better shape than the Wildcats, but I'm not sure that's the case. 'Nova arguably has a few better wins than the Orange. Either way, the loser is out and the winner still has a faint chance.
Here's your lineup. If you're stuck at work or class, I'll keep the comment thread going with anything noteworthy, and of course, covering all things Juli Boeheim.
Syracuse vs Villanova - 12, ESPN
Providence vs West Virginia - 2:30, ESPN
Cincinnati vs Pittsburgh - 7, ESPN
Marquette vs Seton Hall - 9:30, ESPN
Also getting started are the Atlantic 10, MAC, Conference USA and a couple feed in games in the Pac-10.
