#TWITBE Ep. 10.8 - Guests Cam Spencer, Ed Cooley and Andy Katz

This Week In The BIG EAST Radio Show, distributed by Westwood
One, continued its 10th season with guests UConn graduate guard
Cam Spencer, Georgetown’s head coach Ed Cooley and NCAA.com and
TNT Basketball Analyst Andy Katz.


The eighth episode of This Week in the BIG EAST (TWITBE) takes a
look ahead as the league enters the final week of regular season
action prior to the 2024 BIG EAST Men’s Basketball Tournament
Presented by JEEP. UConn heads into the final three games with a
two-game lead over Marquette for the top-seed at Madison Square
Garden. With a win over the weekend against Seton Hall, Creighton
has leap-frogged the Pirates back into third, while Providence
and Villanova will play Saturday to break a current tiebreaker
for fifth. 


The BIG EAST Focus shines on UConn graduate guard Cam Spencer.
The Huskies have looked the part of not just a BIG EAST Champion,
but a potential back-to-back National Champion this season with
only a few minor bumps in the road. Spencer has added important
depth and experience to an already loaded UConn roster as they
look towards March Madness. Spencer leads the conference and
ranks fourth nationally this season in 3-point percentage
(0.446). He is also tied for the team-high with 15.2 points per
game. 


The BIG EAST Spotlight is on Georgetown head coach Ed Cooley.
Georgetown has had a great measure of success as one of the BIG
EAST Conference’s founding members, including a National
Championship in 1984. Wrapping up his first year as the Hoya lead
man, Cooley is looking to restore Georgetown men’s basketball to
national prominence but understands there is a long road
ahead. 


NCAA.com and TNT basketball analyst Andy Katz gives a view on the
national perspective. Katz takes the time to discuss which teams
across the country he feels could make some real noise at the
NCAA Tournament. He also provides an in-depth look at the BIG
EAST resumes ahead of the Big Dance.


The episode’s “Who’s Hot” segment features the return of “Blast
from the Past.” Turning the clock back to 2006, the last time
UConn clinched at least a share of a BIG EAST regular season
title. It was the first week in March, when the Huskies were led
by senior Denham Brown who scored 17 points to help secure an
84-80 win over Louisville on senior day.
