Ncaa Basketball Tickets - Big East Rundown

If you're a Big East sports fan, you're probably worried more about the BCS bowls

than the upcoming NCAA Tournament, but you ought to know that college basketball season is just around the corner. So even though it's pigskin season, you've got to start acquainting yourself with the hardwood. The Big East should be one of the best and most interesting conferences in college hoops this year, so it would be best to start studying now. We'll start you off right with a review of the major storylines in the Big East. If you're interested in getting NCAA basketball tickets to see a few Big East games this season, start looking today. Without much further ado, here are a few of the top headlines in the Big East.

The Same Elite Teams Should Dominate the Big East - Much as the rest of society works, the elite will likely stay on top except in a few rare cases. Last season the Big East was one of the most dominating conferences in the history of the NCAA, as a full seven teams from this league went to the NCAA Tourney and three went to the NIT. While the numbers might drop a little this year, the same teams ought to be near the top. Villanova, which went to the Final Four last season, is expected to pace the conference next year, according to Jay Bilas of ESPN and several other experts. UConn and West Virginia should also be up there, too. Georgetown, Syracuse, Louisville, Pitt and Notre Dame should all compete for spots in the Tournament's 64-team bracket.

Rick Pitino: We're all Rooting for a Comeback - Everybody loves a good comeback, and nobody needs one right now like Louisville coach Rick Pitino. Coach Pitnio was obviously part of the sports media headlines this offseason, and not for anything good. We don't need to remind you about all the drama. If you've been watching your fair share of ESPN over the college basketball offseason, you're probably sick of all the media attention he's getting. But will this season offer some on-the-court redemption? Will the Louisville basketball team help to deflect the negatives with some real positive play on the court? Let's hope Coach Pitino finds some success in 2009-10.

Movers and Shakers - They don't call this East Conference Big for no reason. There are plenty of teams in the mix, and several of the programs in the middle of the pack could make a break for the top this season. Notre Dame returns arguably the best big man in the conference in Luke Harangody, and Cincinnati has a boatload of new recruits coming in to fill gaps. Will the Irish and Bearcats make some noise in the Big East this season? Nobody will be surprised to see the Fighting Irish and Bearcats appear in the AP Top 25 at some point in the early goings. Will they have what it takes to go the distance in the Big East Tournament and the NCAAs?

So there you have it, three of the best stories from the Big East this offseason. If you're interested in seeing any of the Big East teams in action when the games start up this winter, make sure you check as soon as possible. Enjoy the rest of the college football season, Big East fans, and get ready for some thrilling hoops to begin shortly.
