This Week In The BIG EAST (#TWITBE) hosts John and Kevin welcome
Providence head coach Ed Cooley (@CoachCooleyPC), BIG EAST
Commissioner Val Ackerman and senior college basketball writer
for CBSSports.com Matt Norlander (@MattNorlander).


In the penultimate episode of the season, the BIG EAST Spotlight
shines down on Cooley (7:15) as he talks about how his Providence
Friars turned it around after a tough start in non-conference
play. In February, Cooley’s Friars won five consecutive games
over ranked teams. BIG EAST Commissioner Ackerman (23:48) is in
the lens of the BIG EAST Focus as she gives historical anecdotes
on the last 40 years of the BIG EAST and her impressions on the
regular season that wraps up on Saturday. The national
perspective comes from Norlander (35:10) as he gives his hot
takes on potential NCAA Tournament seeding heading into the BIG
EAST Championship next week. Spoiler alert, he has Villanova
winning the tournament for a fourth straight year and seven teams
in the Big Dance.
