    Big East Energy! Coaching drama and close calls| Marquette and Seton Hall have swapped identities
    Jan 14 2026
    Seton Hall was picked DEAD LAST in the Big East Men's Basketball hierarchy. Now they're 14-2 and 4-1 in conference play. UConn's coming to Newark. This is not a drill. St. John's just destroyed Creighton. Rick Pitino's squad is finally clicking after all that early-season doubt. And Georgetown? Ed Cooley's record through 82 games is now WORSE than Patrick Ewing's. The same Patrick Ewing everyone said couldn't coach. 46-36 flipped to 36-46. The man threw a water bottle into the stands, hit a kid, got suspended—and his record is still the bigger problem. Marquette took zero transfers and it's backfiring. Providence can't stop anyone. Shaheen Holloway has Seton Hall playing like they've got nothing to lose—because they don't. This is Big East basketball in January. No chaos. Just business as usual.

  • Are St. John’s & DePaul the Most Disappointing Teams in the Big East? 🧐

    Are St. John’s & DePaul the Most Disappointing Teams in the Big East? 🧐
    Dec 17 2025
    The Big East gauntlet is officially underway! On this week’s episode of Big East Energy Weekly, we’re diving deep into a conference that finally feels like it’s trending in the right direction. We kick things off by breaking down the absolute thriller between Butler and Providence, where Finley Bizjack and Michael Ajayi—who we’re officially calling the "Charles Barkley incarnate"—led the Bulldogs to a massive double-overtime victory. We discuss whether Thad Matta has found a secret weapon in Ajayi and if his physicality will be enough to give Alex Karaban fits in tonight’s matchup against UConn. Is history repeating itself in the Big East, or are we seeing a power shift? We tackle the tough questions surrounding the "disappointing" starts for teams like St. John’s and DePaul. While some analysts had Rick Pitino’s squad ranked as high as #1 in the country preseason, we debate whether they’ve actually looked like a top-ten team yet. Plus, we give our raw, unfiltered predictions for the UConn vs. Butler game at a "hornet's nest" in Hartford—discussing everything from the 15.5-point line to the impact of Butler losing their point guard, Jackson. Inside this episode: -The Butler Wagon: Is it time to finally jump on after the Providence win? -Player Spotlight: Michael Ajayi vs. Alex Karaban—the battle of the "lunch pail" guys. -The Metric Deep Dive: Why the Big East is in a better spot for tournament bids this year. -St. John's Outlook: Will they be the best team in the conference by mid-season? 🎙️ Hosted by Mark Zanetto & Casey Matthews 📺 Watch every episode on YouTube: youtube.com/bigeastenergynetwork 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/big-east-energy-network/id1761234567 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xBigEastEnergy 📱 Follow the Network: X (Twitter): @BigEastEnergy Instagram: @bigeast_energy Try Gruns!: Gruns is a health and wellness company that helps with Gut Health, Focus, Energy and Comprehensive nutrition Comprehensive Daily Nutrition | Save Up to 31% On Our Site – Grüns Thank you to Asabasa Spice Co, our Sponsor: Go to http://www.asabasaspice.com/bee for 15 percent off and use promo code BigFlavor15 at checkout Legendz.com A trailblazing Social Casino and Sportsbook brand, combining cutting-edge technology with innovative gameplay to create an unparalleled free-to-play experience.
