Jim may have driven all the way back to Vegas, but the boys still head EAST to talk Big East hoops on this episode. Can the league bounce back from a worrying season last year? Are we backing off on our Villanova love at all? Have the Johnnies returned to the national spotlight? We go team by team, discuss tiers and NCAA likelihoods, and quickly sort out all-conference awards. Plus a little Root's Roundup to catch up with everything from the past week!
