The annual extravaganza that is the Big East Tournament is just a few hours from commencing in The Big Apple. Years past has proven to us that there is no shortage of excitement, drama and damn good basketball about to be played inside the hallowed halls of Madison Square Garden.
2015 has shown us that the Big East is still one of the best conferences in America. 60 percent of the conference might make the NCAA Tournament, and 80 percent could wind up in some type of postseason event. When all eyes are bestowed upon this conference from Wednesday-Saturday this coming week, we're sure that more memories will be conjured that will last a lifetime.
Alright, now that I've lulled you to sleep and probably reduced you to wanting to vomit with all these cliches, let's dig into the nitty gritty here. We have predictions from our staff here on the Big East Tournament. Here they are, as transparent as can be:
