Good morning everybody! It’s a great day to be a college hoops fan, especially if you love the Big East (or hate the Big East, I guess). Today is Day One of the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden in New York City – the city that never sleeps. It’s a good thing the city never sleeps; otherwise it would probably be a little groggy at noon on a Tuesday, when the tournament actually begins.

As you know, Georgetown will play St. John’s in Game 2 of the opening session. DePaul and Cincinnati get things going at 12:00 and 20 minutes after the conclusion of that game, the Hoyas and Red Storm will tip off. There are a lot of “ifs” coming into the tournament for the Hoyas. I’m only going to use one “if” to get us started, and assume the other “ifs” as often as needed.
