    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
