#TWITBE Ep. 5.4 – Guests: Providence head coach Ed Cooley, DePaul senior forward Max Strus, BIG EAST Senior Associate Commissioner Stu Jackson

The #TWITBE BIG EAST Spotlight shines on Providence head coach Ed
Cooley (4:49) who was recently named coach of the Pan Am Games
U.S. National Team, which will consist of all BIG EAST
players.  Cooley also breaks down the Friars' standing in
the league both in talent and game play. He also gives personal
anecdotes of the life of a Division I coach.


The Focus narrows on DePaul senior forward Max Stus (21:36) who
ranks in the BIG EAST top 10 in both scoring and
rebounding.  Strus gives his background, his recruiting and
transfer story from a Division II school and how he found his way
to DePaul, just 40 minutes away from his hometown of Hickory
Hills, Ill.


Halfway through league play Villanova and Marquette continue to
rise above the mayhem and set the pace at the top of the league
standings.  BIG EAST Senior Associate Commissioner Stu
Jackson (32:50) joins John and Kevin to break down the BIG EAST
and the influx of new talent across all 10.  Giving insight
on the renewal and extension of the BIG EAST Tournament's home on
Broadway, Jackson likens the long standing partnership with
Madison Square Garden to "peanut butter and jelly"
