As the BIG EAST prepares to tip off the 2016-17 season, culminating with the 35th BIG EAST Tournament at Madison Square Garden in March, the conference lined up a trio of all-time greats to talk about their memories of tournaments past and of the conference’s history in general.
Former Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun joined former Seton Hall coach P.J. Carlesimo and former St. John’s star and current head coach Chris Mullin for a chat in front of a crowd at Madison Square Garden that consisted of current coaches and players as well as media in a talk moderated by iconic college basketball announcer Bill Raftery, who is also a former Seton Hall coach.
