Hello and welcome to a new week of college basketball in the Big East!
Unfortunately in terms of quantities of basketball, this is Finals Week for most of the league. Between the men and the women, there are just five games between now and Friday. That also means a pretty stacked weekend of action, so that’s pretty good news.
This is getting published first thing on Monday morning because there are two Monday games to keep track of, but it’s actually one of them that requires this note: I have included last week’s Associated Press poll rankings for every team that needs one, with the exception of Creighton men’s basketball.
