Since its advent, all the way back to the 1979-80 season when it was born, the BIG EAST has always been a conference replete with wondrous guard play. The 1990s brought along another brilliant crop of backcourt talent led by Allen Iverson, Ray Allen, Terry Dehere and Kerry Kittles to name but a few. In the 2000s we were introduced to such top-shelf talent as Troy Bell, Brandin Knight, Ben Gordon, Andre Barrett, Gerry McNamara, Randy Foye, Allen Ray and Kemba Walker.

Sleepy Floyd, Chris Mullin, Pearl Washington, Billy Donovan and Mark Jackson were just some of the standouts who helped bring the conference national attention when they shined in the 1980s.
