Big East Announces MLK Day Hoops Marathon for 2016-17 Season
The Big East has said they will release the full conference schedule on Tuesday, but the league announced a bit of a teaser on Monday afternoon. The league will hold their Big East marathon on Martin Luther King, Jr Day this season. The news was reported ahead of the announcement by Kevin McNamara of the Providence Journal. The marathon will involve all 10 teams being in action with the first game tipping at 12pm EST and the final matchup getting started at 9pm. The Big East has had some memorable MLK Day matchups, especially in 2011 when a doubleheader featured games between top 10 teams with #5 Pittsburgh beating #3 Syracuse and #8 UConn taking down #7 Villanova. All five games on January 16th will be televised on FS1.

2015-16 Big East Season to Open on December 30th and 31st; TV Marathon Moved to January 2nd
The first two years of the newly configured Big East opened the league season with a marathon tip off on New Year’s Eve. That will change a bit in year 3 as the college football playoff has monopolized New Year’s Eve and the Big East and Fox Sports 1 smartly don’t want to try to compete. While some teams will in fact open their Big East schedules on December 31st, the Fox Sports 1 marathon of games won’t take place until January 2nd. That means some teams will have a very tight turnaround between league games 1 and 2, including the Friars. There are also some games being played on December 30th.

2014-15 Big East Basketball Conference Schedule Released
The Big East finally released the conference schedule for the 2014-15 season on Tuesday. With the round robin scheduling of the 10 Big East teams the mystery wasn’t who would play each other twice as was the case with the prior version of the Big East but more about timing of road trips and fans being able to lock in on dates on their calendars.
I have updated the 2014-15 Schedule page which is always in the top menu. This has the full schedule with non-conference and now conference matchups. Also included is the television network that the game will be played on (where known at this point).
The popular Big East New Years Eve conference season kickoff is back for the second consecutive year on Fox Sports 1. The Friars will be game 4 of the day and will tip off at 7:30pm vs. Creighton at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center which will be a cool rematch of the Big East Tournament Championship game. The full NYE schedule is (all games will be broadcast on Fox Sports 1):
- 12:00pm St. John’s at Seton Hall
- 2:30pm Butler at Villanova
- 5:00pm Marquette at DePaul
- 7:30pm Creighton at Providence
- 10:00pm Georgetown at Xavier
