“It's the Big East, the best conference in the nation.”
Will Sheridan
“The Big East, the best conference in all of the land, won't be there. We've shown what we can do.”
Chris Richard
“This was a good test for the Big East. Look at the teams in our conference. It?s the best conference in the country in my opinion and I think we passed the test. We got banged up a little bit, but we came through it and prevailed.”
Kyle Lowry
“Clearly it has always been beneficial for any conference, whether it is mine or the Big East, to have its champions as highly rated as possible.”
Kevin Weiberg
“You don't have to go to Harvard to figure out that the Big East is the best league in the country. You don't have to be a genius. A dummy like me can figure that out. When I look at my coach of the year candidates, Jamie Dixon is in my top five. Jamie has done a fantastic job. He has lost some heartbreakers on the road, but that's because winning on the road in the Big East is so difficult. They've been able to win at home. And that's the key when you play in a tough league. You better win your home games.”
Dick Vitale
“He's the best defender in the Big East. Everybody he plays against he shuts down. The game you saw Mejia have wasn't an off-day - that young man makes people have off-days.”
Gary Waters
“All the national media has said, 'Take those Missouri Valley teams and put them in the Big East and we'll see how good they are,' and I think the committee listened to them. Now (we're) going to try to see how good we really are.”
