Five Things to Watch: Big East Tournament Opening Round

It's that time of year again. The calendar has turned to March. The weather is in the 60's. People are scheduling fake meetings. Yup, it's time for the Big East Tournament. The 2016 version gets underway tonight at Madison Square Garden with the bottom four teams battling for a chance to play the top two teams in the quarterfinals on Thursday. Marquette and DePaul are making repeat appearances in the bottom four -- sidenote, DePaul's streak of being bottom four is.....longer than two straight -- while Georgetown and St. John's were both in the top 4 a season ago.
