After beginning the last few conference seasons with a 12 hour Hoops Marathon, the Big East has chosen to move its marquee regular season event to the Martin Luther King Day holiday.
All 10 Big East teams will square off in a five-game hoops frenzy on Monday, Jan. 16. Providence College will be at Georgetown in the finale at 9 p.m. The other matchups include: Marquette at Butler; Creighton at Xavier; DePaul at St. John's; Seton Hall at Villanova. All of the games will be televised nationally on FoxSports1.
