February is all done now and with the start of March comes visions of tournaments dancing in the heads of players, coaches and fans alike.
Conference tournaments come first, of course, but everyone this time of year has their eye on the big prize – a ticket to the Big Dance. Since the realignment of the BIG EAST to start the 2013-14 season, the conference has sent no less than four teams (in 2013-14) and as many as six teams (in 2014-15) to the NCAA Tournament. And you might remember that a certain BIG EAST team ran the table and won the whole thing last season.
