Big East What To Watch: Week Two

I had to cut about 10 games out of my original rundown of the highlights of the week. There is so much “oh, that’s interesting!” going on here in both men’s and women’s basketball in the Big East this week, and at some point, I’m highlighting half the calendar and then what’s really a highlight after all? In any case, the shakedown cruises are over and teams are starting to venture forth and really start testing what they’re made of this week. That’s always a good time for a college hoops fan trying to find something to watch every night of the week.

We’ve got three men’s games and two women’s games on deck for Monday, so I wanted this out on Sunday night to help everyone get set for the week ahead. When we get the new polls on Monday afternoon, I’ll update things as needed.

This schedule is WILD, give yourself a home game at some point, y’all.

Tuesday, November 10: RV Villanova Wildcats at Princeton Tigers (6pm Central, NBC Sports Philly/SNY) — Going on the road against the co-favorites in the Ivy League is an interesting challenge for the Wildcats, but remember: Carla Berube is coaching Northwestern now.

Wednesday, November 11: RV Marquette Golden Eagles at Michigan Wolverines (6pm Central, FS1) — It’s a trip to Ann Arbor in the first official test of the season for the Golden Eagles, while the Wolverines are coming off a neutral site loss to…
