Louisville Lurking in Crowded Big East

Fans with Big East Tournament tickets are going to be part of one heck of a battle for the conference championship, as a number of teams are tightly bunched near the top of the current standings. Marquette, Syracuse and Georgetown each have only three conference losses so far, so each team controls their own destiny at this point. However, the most dangerous team in the conference could be the Louisville Cardinals, who won the Big East Tournament a year ago. Led by legendary coach Rick Pitino, the Cards sit just one game back in the conference standings, and possess both the talent and the experience to defend their title in Madison Square Garden.
