Make it four wins in a row for St. John's as they improve to 6-1 to start Big East play following an 86-79 win against Villanova. A trip to the Main Line proved to be friendly confines for St. John's who have now won four of their six conference games on the road. They led by as many as 17 thanks to the best games of the season by Bryce Hopkins and Ian Jackson. Moments that previously caused St. John's to stumble, were answered by big shots and good defense. St. John's has seemingly turned a corner since that Providence loss, as they have a ton of momentum behind them.Follow the podcast on Twitter:@EyeonStormPod = Eye on the Storm Podcast#sjubb

Send us a textUConn Women's Basketball is rolling at the midway point of the season — undefeated at 15-0 and 5-0 in Big East play. On this episode of the Connecticut Scoreboard Podcast, we're joined by Daniel Connolly, who covers UConn women's basketball, for a full midseason check-in.We break down how this team has performed compared to preseason expectations, why the defense feels different this year, and which players have taken major steps forward. From KK Arnold's importance to the full-court press, Sarah Strong's next-level play, Azzi Fudd's elite consistency, and Blanca's expanding role, we hit all the biggest storylines surrounding this dominant Huskies squad.We also dive into areas for growth, whether anyone in the Big East can truly challenge UConn, and wrap things up with a few hot takes

Is the Big 12 truly on the outside looking in? The common narrative says the new-look Big 12 Football Conference is a step above the Group of Five, but nowhere near the "P2" of the SEC and Big Ten... and that narrative is DEAD WRONG! On this episode of Couz's Corner, we're diving deep into the Big 12 vs SEC Big 10 debate to expose why the league is stronger and closer to elite status than you've been led to believe. I break down the true strength of the new-look Big 12. But that's not all! In the second segment, we take a trip back to the BCS Era to dissect one of the most misunderstood leagues in history: the Old Big East Football conference. After top programs like Virginia Tech and the Miami Hurricanes departed, was the Big East still a force? I explain why that late-era Big East was significantly underrated and why its legacy doesn't get appreciated. Which take is hotter? Drop your thoughts on the Big 12's status and the legacy of Big East Football in the comments!
