Big East Big Five: Week 11

As Jim Ross might say, business is about to pick up.

VILLANOVA LOST!

This qualifies as big news around these parts, since the Wildcats had gone over a year since losing a game to a Big East opponent. They're still in first place, but they don't have a two game buffer any more, just one lone game in the standings separates them and a four way tie for second place. That's basically like Luke Skywalker standing at the edge of the plank above the Sarlacc, the obvious focal point of the piece standing above a pit filled with ravenous monsters waiting to eat them alive.
