#TWITBE Ep. 8.3 - Guests Steve Lappas, Justin Moore and Kevin Willard

NEW YORK – This Week In The BIG EAST Radio Show,
distributed by Westwood One, returns for 2022, its eighth season
as the official podcast of BIG EAST basketball. The third episode
of the season welcomes former Villanova head coach and current
CBS basketball analyst Steve Lappas, Villanova junior guard
Justin Moore and Seton Hall head coach Kevin Willard


TWITBE welcomes Villanova guard Justin Moore in the BIG EAST
Spotlight, as the preseason favorite Wildcats near the top of the
BIG EAST with a 6-2 conference mark. He ranks seventh in the
conference and second on the team with 15.8 points per game.
Moore also has been a key contributor on the defensive end with
the Wildcats limiting BIG EAST opponents to just 58.5 points per
game. 9.3 points less than the conference’s second ranked
defensive team, Providence (67.8).


The BIG EAST Focus shines on Seton Hall head coach Kevin Willard.
In a sport where the difference between winning and losing can be
decided by a matter of inches or tenths of a second, Seton Hall
has certainly been involved in several scenarios. Willard joins
TWITBE to discuss how the Pirates have overcome adversity this
season.


Former Villanova head coach and current CBS basketball analyst
Steve Lappas gives a view on the national perspective. As the
league approaches the halfway point of regular season action,
Lappas gives his insight on how the younger players around the
league will take to the increase in play and pressure that the
second half and postseason brings.


The episode’s “Who’s Hot” segment features the return of “Blast
from the Past” reliving the greatest moments of 40 years at
Madison Square Garden. This week, return to the 1986 BIG EAST
Tournament where Syracuse star guard Pearl Washington’s shot was
blocked from behind by St. John’s star Walter Berry just before
the buzzer, as St. John’s earned the hard-fought victory 70-69.


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.
