This sounds amazing and I would think it would be a must watch for all Big East fans. Here is an excerpt from the ESPN Films announcement of this new “30 for 30” which will air on 3/16 right after Selection Sunday:
ESPN Films’ 30 for 30 series will continue with “Requiem For The Big East,” premiering Sunday, March 16, at 9 p.m. ET after Bracketology on ESPN. The film, directed by Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Ezra Edelman, explores the meteoric ascension of the Big East Conference, and how in less than a decade under the innovative leadership of founder and Commissioner Dave Gavitt, it became the most successful college sports league in America.
The film is told primarily through the lens of famed Big East coaches such as Jim Boeheim, Lou Carnesecca, Rick Pitino and John Thompson, former Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese, and some of its most iconic players like Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullin and Ed Pinckney. It chronicles the rivalries and successes that led many of them to become household names.
The Big East was a groundbreaking athletic and business creation that encapsulated the era and region in which it was born – from the toughness of the players and coaches hailing from some of the Northeast’s most storied cities, to the executives and Wall Street brokers who thrived because of it. Launched in 1979—the same year that ESPN was born—the Big East used the burgeoning cable TV network and the media as a whole to help spread its gospel to fans and future players across the nation. But “Requiem For The Big East” is also a tale of change as the super conference eventually found itself in a new era fighting for survival.

ESPN’s Joe Lunardi came out with his new bracket today and he has PC as a 12 seed in a First Round Play-in game in the Midwest bracket (Indianapolis) playing Oklahoma State. Lunardi currently has a total of 5 Big East teams in with SJU and PC in the last 4 in category and Georgetown in the next 4 out category. It looks like, depending on how this last couple weeks of the season go, the Big East could get as many as 6 in and as few as 3.
Lunardi lists PC’s chances as a coin toss right now to get into the NCAA tournament:

LAST FOUR IN: These teams are being squeezed at both ends. They don’t want to be caught from behind, of course, but they also want to move up and secure a first-round bye. Dayton is their most likely destination.
In my opinion, the Friars need to get to 21 wins to dance. I’ll have a full Bracketology update on Thursday at noon as I do every week.
