With the dynamic duo (Villanova and Georgetown) in the Big East ready to tip-off at the latter stages of this year, the conference as a whole has a lot to work on as it’s witnessed the departure of several schools in the last five seasons in conference realignment pandemonium.
The shredding of a handful of programs heading into the 2013-14 season (Louisville, Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, South Florida), the Big East is looking to re-establish its identity and overcome the shock trauma.
Without further ado, below is the simplified version of what’s to come for the Big East and its 2015-16 schedule.
To ring in the New Year, the Big East also features a five-game line-up that spans from dusk to dawn:
11:00 AM – DePaul at Seton Hall
1:00 PM – Butler at Xavier
3:30 PM – St. John’s at Providence
5:30 PM – Marquette at Georgetown
10:00 PM – Villanova at Creighton
