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.
This week, the BIG EAST Spotlight shines down on Patrick Ewing (7:36) who gives his take on how the Hoyas have been able to play through a lot of adversity this season so far. Ewing highlights his players who have stepped up, “they have a strong belief in themselves.” The BIG EAST Focus narrows in on Stu Jackson (24:10). Jackson shares his insider view as he fills many roles during the season, including a sounding board for the BIG EAST coaches and the Ringmaster of the #BEtourney extravaganza that is about to begin at Madison Square Garden in March. Longtime college basketball writer for The Sporting News, Mike DeCourcy (35:53) joined FOX Sports this season as their No. 1 Bracketologist. DeCourcy evaluates @BIGEASTmbb from the bottom to the top as it looks like the BIG EAST could have at least six viable teams for the “Big Dance” in March.
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.
