NCAA Tournament expansion has been a hot and consistent topic for several years now. I weigh in with my thoughts—not that anyone cares—and a proposal for expansion that wouldn’t be quite as offensive to the sport.

Your viewing guide for all the NCAA men’s basketball conference tournaments, including the time and TV schedule for every championship game!

The transition towards McDermott’s retirement has begun. The offense will be just fan, as always. Can Huss and McD get enough from this defense to succeed?

Incomplete, but eventually, hopefully, a comprehensive viewing guide to all of the meaningful Big East Non-Conference games. Will continue to build it out and update it in the days to come.

The year 2 Pitino jump was very real. After flying under-the-radar this time last season, Rick & Co. now have the crushing weight of lofty expectations. Can the Johnnies deliver again?

I love the talent on and build of this roster. It’s time for Kim to show he’s a Big East caliber coach. Will the new additions to staff and new offensive contributors on-the-court help push the Friars over the hump and back to the tournament?

Is portal free the way to be? This looks to be the toughest test of Shaka’s portal-free philosophy. Will it be Hakuna Matata? Who fills the gaping scoring void left by the loss of Marquette’s top 3 scorers to graduation?

I’ve been hard on Ed Cooley. This year will give a very strong indication of whether my criticisms have been warranted or not. Depth could be a concern for the Hoyas, but the starting 5 is very good.

Can Holtmann guide the mons to their best finish in 19 seasons? Can he…::gulp:: lead them to their first NCAAT berth since Dave Leitao took them there in 2004?

Richard Pitino, welcome to the family. The roster might be lacking a little bit, but there may be some major upside, especially in the front court. I for one believe they’ll be decent.

There’s a new sheriff in town. Whether that impact will be felt this year is a fair question, but at the very least, ‘nova has an actual coach again, and should be back on the right track.

Thad isn’t getting any younger. The defense still projects to be ass. Is there anything positive happening in Indy?

Can the Pirates pull themselves out of the cellar? Is Pirate Pesto here to stay? Have they sold enough pesto to be competitive?

SJU and UConn have been getting the most press. Pitino and Hurley. But there’s a lot more to discuss about this season in the Big East.

What’s wrong with the UConn Huskies?! Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? Apparently the UConn Huskies are not as good as they were in years past.

First Power Rankings of the season, doubling as my predicted order of finish this season. Fuck me up fam!

Well I ain’t studied math, but I know a lil bit enough that you wont out-logic my shit.
