Big East Tournament 2026

I think this is the first time since 1994 that the semifinals are comprised of only BE charter member schools (Nova was added in 1980, along with Pitt).

Nice factoid, BH.

I question whether several of the Big East schools are going to be well positioned to compete in the new era of transfers and big paydays.

The days of the Big East being mentioned in the same breath as the four big power conferences might be over.

No reason to think we can't compete with the ACC. We were better than the ACC last year, and closer to the ACC this year than the ACC was to the top 3.

The Big Ten and SEC are probably always going to be a level ahead. Not sure what the B12's future is, but they're firmly ahead of the BE right now too.
