Jim may have driven all the way back to Vegas, but the boys still head EAST to talk Big East hoops on this episode. Can the league bounce back from a worrying season last year?

We go team by team, discuss tiers and NCAA likelihoods, and quickly sort out all-conference awards. Plus a little Root's Roundup to catch up with everything from the past week!
