After a chaotic period following numerous COVID-19-related postponements and cancellations among BIG EAST teams, more games—hopefully—looked to be played on-schedule in the near future than in the past couple of weeks.

If there’s something that can be taken away from the past two seasons of college basketball, it’s that anything can happen.

Why and how is this Big East women’s basketball season shaping to be unlike any other?

There’s something for everyone within this week’s slate of Big East women’s basketball games on FloHoops.

As the non-conference slate dwindles and the first full month of the college basketball season lies ahead in December, league play in the Big East will tip off in full force.

DePaul Head Coach Doug Bruno has built one of the best programs in college basketball, amassing over 1,000 wins during his tenure pacing the sidelines in Chicago. The Blue Demons have become synonymous with high-level success as well as consistency throughout the Bruno-era. Under Coach Bruno, DePaul has managed to capture the attention of the Chicago sports fans, despite competing in a gridlocked sports landscape that overwhelmingly  leans into professional sports.

It sure was good to be back, wasn’t it?

The long-awaited return of Big East women’s basketball on FloHoops is finally about to commence.

Back like they never left, UConn dominated the Big East last season, sporting a perfect 18-0 record in conference play, after ending their seven-year hiatus in the American Athletic Conference. The undefeated conference mark propelled the Huskies into their seemingly annual, deep NCAA Tournament run, as UConn secured their 13th consecutive Final Four appearance last season.

March is here and Madness descends on Mohegan Sun Arena, host site of the Big East Tournament. 

The status quo has prevailed most weeks in the Big East. The Connecticut women are undefeated. DePaul and Marquette have held steady in the second tier, not challenging UConn, but also avoiding losses to the bottom of the conference. 

Christmastime typically means taking a pause to gather with family. The past year has not been typical, of course, and that meant an atypical holiday season for DePaul Basketball. 

Seton Hall’s NCAA Tournament hopes were dealt a pair of swift blows over the past several days. 

Eleven days after they were upset by Arkansas, Connecticut is poised to once again claim the #1 ranking in the country. 

UConn, rightfully, commands a good portion of the headlines about the Big East.
