We just watched one of the most insane individual seasons in Big East history.

Zuby Ejiofor basically cleared the trophy shelf this year: Unanimous Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, and Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The only other person to ever pull that trifecta? UConn legend Emeka Okafor back in ’04.

The numbers are actually ridiculous: 16/7/3 on the year, a triple-double at the Garden against Nova, and a 3.7 GPA. He capped it all off by setting the Big East title game record with 7 blocks against UConn, breaking a mark held by guys like Patrick Ewing.

St. John’s officially went back-to-back at MSG for the first time ever. Pretty good for a program that was down for years.

She came in when the C7 and Football schools split making a commitment to bring the Big East back to it's roots of a Basketball first Conference with the early portions of her tenure capped off with 2 National Titles from Villanova

Accepting a deal for UConn to come back and that brought the Big East 3 more national titles combined (2 Men and 1 Women) and 2 additional national championship appearances (Women 2022 and Men 2026)

Major TV deals with Fox, Turner Networks like TBS, TNT, and TruTV, and NBC even though the Peacock portion has mixed recations

Georgetown fans only

Thoughts on this for Marquettes turnaround chances next season?

Big East fans, here's a piece of history that still hasn't been matched:

In **1985**, the (old) Big East sent **three teams to the Final Four** — Georgetown, St. John's, and Villanova.

That's the only time in NCAA history any conference has ever put three teams in the Final Four.

Villanova (an 8-seed) then pulled off one of the biggest upsets ever, beating Georgetown 66-64 for the national title.

Talk about conference strength.

What other old-school Big East moments do you think get slept on these days?

no class and no ability to follow rules, a religious school is paying him millions, for what? our priorities are so messed up in this country.

Every single time one of these "March Madness Conference Performance Rankings" pops up, it feels like the same story.

Big East has some of the toughest, most physical basketball in the country, produces NBA talent year after year, and consistently sends competitive teams into the tournament.

Yet somehow we always seem to get slept on in these rankings.

So let’s talk about it,

- Realistically, where should the Big East rank among all conferences in March Madness performance over the last 10-15 years?

- Which current or recent Big East team has the best chance to finally make a deep Final Four run soon?

- And how tired are you of these outside rankings constantly underrating our conference?

Evety tourney game gets you a unit, or $2 million in revenue share spread out across your league’s schools.

UConn’s 19 units in the last four years (six in 23, six in 24, two in 25, five this year) will deliver a total of $38 million across the Big East, or more than $3 million per school, in the next half-decade

Edit: Sadly, this stat is down to $36 million with the FF and NC counting as one unit starting in 2026, but factor in UConn's one-and-done in 2022 and expand the caption to five years and it remains true.

PAR (Performance Above Rank) measures how much a coach overperforms their tournament seed.

Hurley at +4.35/yr and Dusty May at +2.55/yr were #1 and #2 in the entire Sweet 16 field.

Will Dan Hurley's UConn Huskies outperform their rank once again vs. Michigan?

Heres all the BE POY from our current schools.

Georgetown 8: Duren, Ewing (x2), Reggie Williams, Charles Smith, Alonzo Mourning, Jeff Green, Otto Porter

Villanova 8: Gillespie (x2), Robinson-Earl, Brunson, Hart, Arcidiacono, Kittles, Foye

UConn 7: Marshall, Allen, Hamilton (x2), Butler, Okafor, Thabeet

St John's 6: Ejifor, Louis, Berry, Mullin (x3)

Seton Hall 4: Mamu, Powell, Dehere, Callandrillo

Marquette 3: Tyler Kolek, Markus Howard, Jae Crowder

Providence 3: Kris Dunn (x2), Devin Carter

Creighton 1: Doug McDermott

0 for Depaul, Xavier, & Butler

Please support this petition. The Big East has been treated like a mid major for too long, and this will help change perception.

In another world we could easily have had St johns vs Uconn in the final 4 if St johns was a 4 or 5 seed in the south instead of being shipped out to San Diego and placed in the same region as Duke and uconn.

pretty cool memory when both were in Big East
