    In the last 5 days Prov Coll ( in cellar of Big East) has upset highly ranked Louisville, then Nova. Big East No doubt the toughest conference from top to bottom!

    I would like to see Providence return to the days when Pitino was the coach and they made it to the final game of the NCAAs. They've been down for several years. Those were two impressive wins, especially over Cuse.

    Sid..they have been down indeed from the Glory days of Ernie D and Marvin Barnes!. Its very difficult to recruit here because its a tiny school in a tiny state. URI has the same problem. When the NIT was the Big tourney back in 60s PC won one or 2 tourneys and did well other years

    That's one way to look at it.

    Another way would be that the SEC is the Big East of college football. :lol: :lol:

    Nah, we have the same teams for all sports. :)

    Big East is really tough this year, a guy who projects the field for the NCAA tournament projects 11 teams from the Big East.

    That's a bunch.

    Whenever I see talk about adding another football school and UCF or East Carolina come up as possibilites, the assumption is that the Big East will drop Providence and they will move to the A-10.
