The Big East Tournament returns to the Garden this week after last year’s mid-tourney COVID-19 shutdown.
Despite numerous virus disruptions this season, the entire conference is expected to participate — including third-seeded UConn, making its return to the tournament after an eight-year layoff that included NCAA sanctions and a venture to the American Athletic Conference.
The Huskies, winners of four straight and six of seven to close the regular season, can’t just be glad to be back, however. A storied program that hasn’t made the NCAA tournament since 2016 will have to contend with a number of hungry Big East teams, beginning with the winner of Friday’s matchup between No. 6 Providence and No. 11 DePaul.
With a field that includes No. 1 Villanova, No. 2 Creighton, and No. 4 St. John’s among its top seeds won’t make it any easier on the Huskies — or one another.
Here’s how to watch all the action, which kicks off Wednesday, March 10 at Madison Square Garden.
