The Igloo

After an exciting mid-week slate which saw Butler beat Villanova on a buzzer-beating three and Providence upsetting #21 Creighton, we now move on to the weekend where #12 Seton Hall looks to extend their lead on #10 Villanova in the Big East standings when they visit the Wildcats on Saturday. Joining me to help me preview this blockbuster is none other than Darryl Reynolds, BEDN contributor and Villanova alum who was on the 2016 national championship team. We'll share our picks for that game while I also have my predictions for the other four games going on around the Big East this weekend.

Over the weekend, all three of the Big East's ranked teams were upset at home by unranked opponents. I've got my analysis on how and why it happened and I also have my mid-week preview as these teams look to bounce back while Creighton, now back in the Top 25 at #21, looks to defend their ranking.

It was a wild week in the Big East as Butler and Seton Hall survived upset bids while Marquette won a double-overtime thriller over Xavier in Cincy. I've got my analysis on everything I mentioned, as well as a full preview of this weekend's slate and an interview with former Marquette star Andrew Rowsey!

It was a very hard weekend for hoops fans as we all mourn the loss of Kobe Bryant, but it was still a good weekend as Butler got back in the win column with an OT victory at home over Marquette while Creighton and St. John's completed season sweeps of Xavier and DePaul respectively. You also wanna listen to my Ice Breaker as I share my personal thoughts on Kobe and the impact he had on my life.

On this episode, I talk about those who have thrived and struggled in Big East play thus far and how they'll fare moving forward. Also, Seton Hall alum Daryl Crist joins me to talk about his time playing in the old Big East in the early 90s and playing on two Big East title teams during Seton Hall's "Glory Days" under head coach P.J. Carlesimo. Finally, I've got my weekend preview and an Ice Breaker about Sunday's All-Access game on FS1 between Xavier and Creighton out in Omaha.

It was a wild weekend of hoops in the Big East and I break down everything that happened, including Myles Powell becoming only the fifth player in the history of Seton Hall basketball to reach the 2000-point plateau. Also, Phil Booth joins me to talk about his career at Villanova. Finally, I've got your mid-week preview as all 10 teams are in action and an Ice Breaker on a St. John's assistant coach who tried to chase down Myles Powell for the game ball that he had just scored his 2000th career point with.

This past slate of games featured some notable upsets as #5 Butler was beaten at Hinkle Fieldhouse by #18 Seton Hall and #25 Creighton fell on the road to Georgetown and my analysis on that and more is featured in this episode. Also, former Big East stars Sterling Gibbs and Justin Patton join me to reflect on their careers in the Big East and how they're doing professionally. Finally, I'll get you ready for an exciting weekend of action around the league and I also have a good Ice Breaker on Myles Powell and how he's shown his selflessness recently and how it's helped turn Seton Hall back into the team that was the preseason favorite to win the Big East regular season crown.

On this loaded episode of The Igloo, renowned college basketball insider Jeff Goodman joins me to give me his perspective on how this season has transpired in the Big East and also joining me is Lukas Harkins, writer and bracketologist with Busting Brackets, as we discuss Wednesday's big matchup between Seton Hall and Butler at Hinkle and how Big East teams are stacking up according to his latest bracket.

An eventful slate of games from Tuesday and Wednesday yielded some weird results to say the least and I've got my analysis of it all here on this episode. I also have your complete weekend preview as sixth-ranked Butler visits The Dunk Friday night to take on Providence in a battle of unbeatens in conference play and the Big East's two top players square off as Markus Howard and Marquette visit Myles Powell and Seton Hall.

One week of conference play is officially in the book and it's had its fair share of shocking results so far. I'll discuss what I saw and learned from all five games that happened over the weekend and what to watch for this week with doubleheaders scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday night.
