Madison Square Garden hosted Big East Media Day on Tuesday with all 11 Big East schools in attendance eager to begin the 2023-2024 college basketball season.
Commissioner Val Ackerman noted that this is the largest group of media to attend media day since the conference’s realignment in 2013. Since then, the Big East has won three of the last seven national championships and been to multiple Final Four appearances. Additionally, Ackerman talked about the level of dedication that this conference has for both men’s and women’s basketball.
“If college basketball has a soul, you will find it in our conference,” Ackerman stated in her opening statement before the men’s media segment.
