The returning hosts for
This Week In The BIG EAST (#TWITBE) are John Rooke, a longtime BIG EAST play-by-play voice for 32 years, and Kevin McNamara, who has covered the BIG EAST for 30 seasons at the
Providence Journal and is a columnist for
Basketball Times. Rooke and McNamara give a comprehensive look at the teams, coaches, players and storied tradition of the top basketball conference in America in each episode.
The BIGE EAST Spotlight shines on Kevin Willard, head coach of the league-leading Seton Hall Pirates. Seton Hall has a deep roster that includes a national Player of the Year candidate, a point guard who is tough as nails, a dominating center that protects the rim like few others can, and a versatile enough bench to pose matchup problems for just about everyone they face. The BIG EAST Focus narrows on Lawrence Moten, former Syracuse shooting guard and former BIG EAST scoring leader. His 25-year record was surpassed by Marquette’s Markus Howard this week. CBS Sports Network’s Steve Lappas gives the National Perspective. Lappas gives his take on all things @BIGEASThoops.
The episode’s “Who’s Hot” segment features audio clips from some recent big performances around the league and a recap of the league’s weekly honors. “Who’s Got Next?” takes a look at the upcoming schedule, highlighting the big matchups.
