As part of its 2023–24 men’s basketball preseason coverage, Sports Illustrated is rolling out previews for each of the six high-major conferences. Next up is the Big East.
There may not be a more exciting conference on paper than the Big East, thanks to a recent influx of coaching talent that will produce headline-generating matchups all season long. From Rick Pitino at St. John’s to Ed Cooley stabilizing Georgetown and other recent hires like Shaka Smart at Marquette and Sean Miller at Xavier, no league boasts a deeper coaching roster than this one. It also features the defending national champion UConn Huskies, who are among the group of teams at the top of these projected standings with legitimate title aspirations in 2023–24. Buckle up, this should be fun.
