We got together once again to talk about Big East hoops! In this edition of BECB Asks, we’re asking: What’s the biggest nonconference game of the season for the Big East?
Christopher Novak: It almost has to be UCLA-Villanova. Just based solely off preseason projections, no matchup outside of UCLA-Gonzaga has the kind of magnitude of this matchup presents. The two teams are the preseason favorites to win their respective conferences, they each start in the Top 10 of KenPom’s preseason rankings, and have some of the best talents in the nation going head to head.
