The Igloo

In this bonus episode of The Igloo for this week, Pat Madden and Ryan Patti join me for the third straight year to preview the annual Big East/Big 12 Battle!

I've got my full analysis on the best and worst of Feast Week from around the Big East and a whole lot more!

After splitting the Gavitt Games with the Big Ten, Big East MBB looks to bounce back during Feast Week, which already got underway with several Big East teams competing in tournaments last weekend. Over on the women's side, can UConn continue to win in the absence of Azzi Fudd? Who else needs to step up to bolster the league's profile before the first month of the season comes to a close? I'll ans...

The final edition (for now) of the Gavitt Tipoff Games will take place this week and joining me to preview this slate are Pat Madden and Adam Zielonka. I'll also recap the opening week of the season around the conference on both sides and look ahead to what's on the horizon with Feast Week tipping off this weekend.

Here's the Season 5 premiere of The Igloo at long last! On this episode, I've got the best from Big East Media Day, my thoughts on the preseason polls on both the men's and women's sides, and an Ice Breaker on the passing of Tasha Butts.

Several months overdue, but here's my Season 4 finale as Patrick Madden and I recap the year that was in Big East basketball!

Another episode, another in-depth interview with another Creighton alum! This time, it's Toby Hegner, who played for the Bluejays from 2014-18. We discussed his favorite moments in the blue and white, his quick transition into becoming an AAU coach, fatherhood, and so much more!

The Igloo is back after a lengthy four-week hiatus and I actually have an alumni interview on this episode, my first quite in a while, as Creighton alum Mo Watson joins me to talk about his time in Omaha, what basketball life overseas is actually like, and so much more! I also end the show with an important announcement regarding the future of the show!

UConn is onto Monday's title game with another double-digit victory and I'll break down their win over Miami, preview their title game matchup with San Diego State, and discuss some Big East news!

I apologize for not breaking the marathon by not having an episode, but I saved the best for last! To preview UConn in the Final Four in Houston, I'm joined by the kings of UConn Twitter: the dynamic duo of Mister Hot Balls and HurleyMania!

Today's episode was much longer, and for good reason. I'll discuss Providence officially introducing their new head basketball coaches at Alumni Hall and WNBA mock drafts as Maddy Siegrist officially declared for the WNBA Draft earlier this week!

With barely any college basketball happening until Final Four weekend, for today's brief edition of The Igloo, I'll provide a transfer portal update on the men's side as the transfer portal is really starting to pile up now

On Sunday, the Big East's hopes of sending multiple teams to Houston for the Final Four were in the hands of the Creighton Bluejays. Sadly, those hopes were crushed in heartbreaking fashion, a 57-56 loss to the San Diego State Aztecs. I'll share my thoughts on the game, as well as provide an update on potential plans to end this year's March Marathon!

UConn MBB is Final Four bound for the first time since 2014 and did so in dominant fashion against Gonzaga. I'll discuss how that came to fruition, recap UConn WBB's shocking loss in the Sweet 16 to Ohio State in Seattle, and share my preview and prediction for Creighton's Elite 8 showdown with San Diego State!

Friday was eventful for the Big East as Villanova WBB ALMOST pulled off a comeback for the ages before falling short in what seemed to be Maddy Siegrist's final college game while Creighton MBB beat Princeton to advance to their first Elite Eight in program history (1941 doesn't count.) I'll recap that, as well as Xavier's loss to Texas, and preview today's games as both UConn teams are in action...

UConn continued its dominance in this NCAA Tournament last night with a wire-to-wire evisceration of Arkansas. I'll share my full analysis of that game and preview today's action as the Xavier and Creighton men and Villanova women will take the court in hopes of joining the UConn men in representing this great conference in the Elite Eight!

The Sweet 16 officially begins tonight and I'll do an in-depth preview of UConn/Arkansas, make my picks for the other three games tonight, and discuss Providence's new WBB coach

On this rather uneventful edition of The Igloo, I'll share my thoughts on Ed Cooley's press conference today at Georgetown, Providence hiring Kim English as his replacement, and the growing Twitter beef between Jeff Goodman and Dave Portnoy!

Monday was another sweet day for the Big East on and off the court as Villanova and UConn WBB advanced to the Sweet 16 on their homecourts while St. John's MBB made waves by hiring the legendary Rick Pitino as their new coach. I'll discuss all that, as well as share some more thoughts on the ongoing fallout of Ed Cooley taking the job at Georgetown, on today's edition of The Igloo!

It's been quite a wild 24 hours or so for the Big East as 3 of their teams punched their tickets to the Sweet 16 and one of their head coaches officially leaves his job to take over at another Big East school. My recap of yesterday's second round action (and my instant and knee-jerk reaction to this breaking news) is all on Day 20 of the March Marathon!

The Big East could have a banner day today as they can potentially send FOUR teams to the second weekend for the first time since realignment and I'll share how I think those teams can make it happen. I'll also recap yesterday's WBB tournament action as March Maddyness got underway at The Finn and UConn continued their dominant ways at Gampel in first round action!

Call me Leonidas because I'm officially at 300 episodes of The Igloo! Joining me as my special guest for this milestone episode is Big East digital correspondent Paul Fritschner as we discussed what was a pretty successful St. Patrick's Day for Big East MBB in March Madness action!

St. John's beat Purdue at the buzzer last night in their First Four matchup and I'll recap what happened and who the hero was for the Johnnies. Then, I'll share my full WBB bracket and my keys to each first round game for all 5 Big East MBB teams today.

The madness really kicks in today and joining me to break down the men's bracket is Michael DeRosa from Road to the Garden!

Both Big East teams in this year's NIT unfortunately had their seasons come to an end last night and I'll recap those games and make my picks for tonight's First Four games on both the men's and women's sides
