The uneven and unpredictable Big East women’s basketball season comes to a conclusion this week with the conference tournament set to begin on Friday. Some teams (UConn, Marquette and Butler) played an 18-game conference schedule. Another, Xavier, played just 10. Everyone else landed somewhere in between. 

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

Some Big East teams have played 10 games this season. Others have managed to get in just five. 

It was a light slate of games last week in the [category:Big East] as several programs were on pause because of COVID-19 protocols. But there were still some notable performances including the emergence of a transfer who will make an impact this season. 

With all the postponements, cancelations, and programs on pause, it's difficult to say exactly where we are in the Big East season. Some programs have played a robust schedule, others are just getting started. But it's not too early to dig into the stats and try to make sense of where each team sits in the standings.

When UConn inhabits your conference, there's nothing wrong with leading the chase pack.
