Simply nothing in total basketball like The Great East Championship at Madison Square. It is the tallest conference championship anywhere in this sport, as it appears in the world’s 43 -year -old square in a row with coverage of Fox and FS1 starting on Thursday, after the first procedure on Wednesday on Paacock.
From Rick Betino pioneer St. John To 1 seed for the first time since 1986, to Dan Hurley tries to repeat and find confidence in the pursuit of three peat in the big dance, to the American talent offered, this tournament must hand the goods again in front of the crowds of sale in Manhattan. However, let’s explore the 2025 Big East championship.
What is the biggest story that is heading to the big East Championship for this year, which the fans should pay attention?
Betino, Beetino, Beetino. At this moment, Famir and John Guns Hall is not only the largest story in the Great East. The red storm leads 27-4 the largest amount of noise in the national media, such as any university basketball team after winning the first big title in the Big East season since 1985. From its appearance on “The Tonight Show” to “Pardon my Take” and NYC Radio Station WFAN WFAN on phone calls on the red storm, the tinnitus surrounding the program is the reason that is the reason that is the reason It makes you rent 881 chapters.
On the ground, the red storm crowned the normal season in an exciting way, with Kadari Richmond Buds the ball from Chis RossHands, Simon Wilsher Find it and beating Zuby Ejiofor Before the big -winning man scored in the bell, just as he did in Provence earlier this year.
The really interesting thing in the Big East was that it was in Madison Square Garden every year since 1983, but it has been a quarter of a century since the host team won the building. We have never talked about the concept of the local court’s advantage with the red storm of a variety of reasons. But Pitino has a team that ranks third in the nation in defensive efficiency and to play all Americans with RJ Lewis And Richmond. Gonnis is the highest seed, who were in this position for the first time in 1986, in the spotlight.
Do you have ST. John is an opportunity to win the first seed if the Red Storm won the Big East championship?
Not 1 seed, but they can reach line 2 at 30-4 per year. They are not in consideration of the first line because of their 4-4 Quad 1 record, as well as the truth of that Opornefor dukefor Houston And one of Florida or Alabama The top seed line will be intact. But if St. John wins the Great East Championship, the red storm should be in the second-zero-line questions.
Which team has more than more than the Big East championship this week?
This is one easy: Kazavier. The haunted between the last four and the first four in all expectations, but they get an invaluable quadruple chance against Market On Thursday afternoon (2:30 pm Easter at the peacock). In fact, when it comes to the conversation of bubbles, I think this is the most important game in the week. Musketeers has won seven in a row, and they own the top 50 force of the timeline, and Marquette will give them 10 victories combined in Kawad 1 and 2. With no defects, I think Sean Miller is strengthening a width of his victory on Thursday, prohibiting a large number of bidding theft.
On the contrary, what is the team that he loses most in the Big East championship this week?
Frankly, it is Kazavier. Frankly, St. John, Curton and Uconn All are in a good place to make the tournament. You may be concerned about Marquette if Golden Eagles lost for the fourth time in six games, because they were not the same team during the past two months as was the case in the start of the season. But if you are a mask and lost on Thursday, you will wonder what would have been if you were excluded on Sunday.
Who is the player who has an opportunity to make a name for himself in the Big East championship this week?
Creton Jamaia Neil. while Stephen Ashworth and Ryan Kamarner Create the duo in the elite guard center, if it is filmed second Bluejays The running should be in the tournament, and the large wing with a length of 6 feet and 5 feet should be the third wheel for the Greg McDermtt team. He was distributing the ball at a high level with 31 decisive passes in his last five games, but he could not be a top scorer as he was in three of the last four games. He is a four -year player who moved from him Arizona State To create moments like this. While the country knows about the stars in St. John and Uconn, as well as Marquette’s Cam JonesNile appears to fly under the radar and can be a key to Creton.
Is there one team outside the first four seeds that can make the deep round in this tournament?
Villanova. Wildcats have the nation’s top scorer in the country Eric Dixon (23.6 PPG), a large suite in explosives in Wooga PoplarVeteran point goalkeeper in Jumeir BrukosAnd another shooting maker in Jordan Longo. Exit from the loss of deviation in George Town Where Wildcats lost from nine points with 3:26 to go, raising the issue of how this team responds this week with an eight -day gap between the games. Villanova has a comfort feature but must pass through Uconn in the quarter -finals. However, Cats defeated St. John’s, Uconn, Xavier and Marquette, and they had overcame Creightton before Ashworth returned in three times on February three. They can overcome anyone in this league, but they are also losing to anyone in this conference. You just never know in the hero week. Look last year when North Carolina state beat ACC Crown and Duquesne Claim A-10 title.
What does St. Champion mean the game John’s vs. Uconn Big East Tournament for this conference and the rules of their fans?
You will be the largest game in Big East since the reinstall of the league in 2013 and one of the most championship games in the league to persuade us in the history of the conference. Why? Since you have two of the strongest characters in sports on the margin with Pitino and Dan Hurley, and two teams with Zero Love Lost, Saint John aims at his first title in the East Big championship since 2000. For structures, this means that they played a strong basketball and a sign that Herley’s ads and his team have ended. The amount of talking about social media will be through the surface, and you can forget the prices of secondary tickets. You are talking about at least $ 500 plus to get your ass in the building and this may be light after taxes and fees.
Richmond. Lewis. Ejiofor. Devon Smith. Alex Karaban. Liam McNley. Solo ball. Taris Reed Junior
The strength of the stars will be shown and the building will be shaken at 33 and 7. You will have a scene that would really move the needle to the Great East at the national level. If the conference follows this by making Xavier join St. John’s, Creightton, Uconn and Marquette in the NCAA championship, so this season will make the league task.
Who is your choice to win the big east championship and why?
Although I believe that Saint John is the clear boats in the foreground, I have the base of not choosing the first seeded in the conference championship because it is an easy choice. Although I love Creightton and Marquette to win NCAA, I am concerned about the ability to predict it sometimes. This does not mean that one of them cannot fire and get enough support team to support the strength of stars for men such as Ashworth, Kalkbrenner, Jones and Steve Mitchell. As a dark horse, Kazavier can be a dark horse, but the lack of size is a source of concern for three games in several days.
With what is said, I will go a little bit outside the box: the winner of the Uconn VS. game Villanova on Thursday evening, assuming that Wildcats exceeded Citton HallHe will win the Great East Championship.
The Huskies team won five of six and returned to the model with a 15 -year -old crime that is difficult to stop. However, they lost to Villanova in January, and they needed to return 14 points to overcome Wildcats on February 18. It indicates that Villanova ranks second in America with 39.8 % of 3.
Connecticut is 8-1 in MSG in the past two years. One loss? The matter came to St. Jones, who dug the powerful structure, 89-75, on February 23.
I will take Uconn, but I think 3 for 6 quarter -finals Thursday may be hot.
