2011-2012 Big East Basketball Power Rankings

By

Last year, the Big East made history by sending 11 teams to the NCAA Tournament.  The depth of the conference was clear and obvious when a UConn team that finished with a 9-9 mark in Big East play cut down the nets.  With the league possibly entering the final year before Syracuse, Pitt, and West Virginia selfishly bolt for greener pastures (screw you, college football), the … [Read more...] about 2011-2012 Big East Basketball Power Rankings

The Sports Bank’s 99 team college basketball preview in 99 days ranks the 72 power conference teams and top 27 … [Read more...] about 99 in 99: #45 Seton Hall Pirates
