#TWITBE Ep. 9.1 - Guests Baylor Scheierman, Sean Miller and Donny Marshall

This Week In The BIG EAST Radio Show, distributed by Westwood
One, begins its ninth season with guests Creighton senior forward
Baylor Scheierman, Xavier head coach Sean Miller and FOX Sports
National NCAA Basketball Color Analyst Donny Marshall.


The returning hosts for This Week In The BIG EAST (#TWITBE) are
John Rooke, a longtime BIG EAST play-by-play voice, and Kevin
McNamara, BIG EAST radio host, columnist and author. Rooke and
McNamara give a comprehensive look at the teams, coaches, players
and storied tradition of the top basketball conference in America
in each episode.



With the start of a New Year, the first episode of TWITBE takes a
look at the jumpstart of conference play, while taking a look at
the new landscape of BIG EAST Basketball with four new head
coaches welcomed into the league over the offseason.



The BIG EAST Spotlight is on Creighton forward Baylor Scheierman,
who discusses the role the transfer portal has played in the
landscape of college basketball over the past couple seasons.
Transferring from South Dakota State, the 2022 Summit League
Player of the Year is one of five Bluejays averaging double
figures with 12.4 points per game. The native of Aurora, Neb.,
talks about what it is like being a part of the BIG EAST and how
he looks forward to continuing to showcase his skillset to NBA
Scouts on the national stage.



The BIG EAST Focus shines on Xavier head coach Sean Miller. Back
at the helm for the Musketeers, Miller has Xavier (12-3, 4-0 BIG
EAST) once again in the national spotlight. Ranked 18th in both
the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches Polls, the Musketeers
have shown balance, explosiveness, athleticism and experience
under Miller’s leadership, opening the conference season 4-0 for
the first time in program history



FOX Sports Basketball Color Analyst Donny Marshall gives a view
on the national perspective. A four-year standout at UConn
(1991-95) Marshall touches on the outstanding performances thus
far by Connecticut, Providence, Xavier and Marquette, while also
noting that Villanova may be starting to round into form.



The episode’s “Who’s Hot” segment features the return of “Blast
from the Past”, rewinding the tape to 2006, reliving Marquette’s
first league game since joining the BIG EAST Conference, a 94-79
win over UConn. “Who’s Got Next?” takes a look at the upcoming
schedule, highlighting the big matchups.
