The Big East Tournament: March 10 - 14

"March madness" begins in NYC today as the Big East Tournament kicks off, a pre-cursor to next week's even bigger NCAA men's basketball tournament.
This year's Big East tournament is the biggest in their history, as all 16 teams have been invited to Madison Square Garden. The top 4 teams have earned a double bye into the quarter finals, while the next top 4 get a single bye. That means teams #9 - #16 kickoff the tournament tonight, hoping to be a Cinderella team and extend their seasons. The first round is not televised (WTF?), but you can watch it on-line at Bigeast.tv
The games are sold out, so if you want tickets, check out StubHub.com
Tuesday, March 10 - First Round
Noon: # 9 Cincinnati vs. # 16 DePaul
2pm: # 12 Georgetown vs. # 13 St. John's
