This week, the Weave is talking Big East - aka the most fun power conference last year. Will the upper echelon (and Bill Raftery, and John Fanta, and Gus Johnson) continue to provide us with high-level, competitive games? We sure hope so!

What about Kim English with a high-upside group? How will Xavier handle all the injuries? And what about the likely bottom four...
