It’s now a week into the month of March which means the Big East Tournament will be tipping-off from Madison Square Garden tonight.
While it’s technically the month of March, the theme that is March Madness truly hasn’t begun. Conference tournaments and setting aside the softies must come first.
In the Big East Tournament, which starts tonight at Madison Square Garden, there’s one softy in particular who’s on tap to be booted: the St. John’s Red Storm.
Chris Mullin’s squad will go up against Marquette tonight at 9:30 PM ET in the No. 7-No. 10 play-in game. The other game of the night will feature No. 8 Georgetown facing No. 9 DePaul.
