The Big East is celebrating its 35th year at Madison Square Garden, so it was only right to hold the event on the floor of the Mecca of basketball, Madison Square Garden - the place where the legend of the Big East and of Chris Mullin blossomed.
Early in the day, joined by a panel of esteemed colleagues including three-time NCAA Tournament champion Jim Calhoun and two time Big East coach of the year, PJ Carlesimo, Mullin reflected on what it meant to him to be a member of the Big East as a player, and now as a coach, calling it “one of the best conferences out there”.
