Apologies to the SEC for stealing their motto, but during Championship Week in college hoops, the Big East Tournament just means more.
Maybe that’s due to its location at Madison Square Garden (and commitment to keeping the tournament in one location).
Maybe it’s the packed, raucous crowds that come from Big East campuses and alumni bases up and down the East Coast.
Maybe it’s just decades of memories of Kemba Walker, Patrick Ewing, Jay Wright and so much more.
