Help me out here...
Throwing out personal feelings (e.g. I hate Villanova more than I hate BC, etc.) who should Hoya fans be rooting for in the Big East this week?
This is just a fun little conversation (slow day at the office)...obviously if the Hoyas are going to the NCAAs they're going to have to earn it on the court and not worry about who beats who around the league.
Monday
Connecticut at Seton Hall - UConn seems the obvious choice here. A) we play them twice B) We want them to be "seen" as a top 15 team at the end of the year for purposes of quality losses and (hopefully) quality wins
Tuesday
Pittsburgh at St. John's - I believe for pure RPI the answer would be St. John's, as we play them twice. But I'm thinking we'd rather have Pittsburgh build itself back up and start winning some games so we can look back at our win over them as a quality win at the end of the season.
Wednesday
Villanova at Boston College - We play Villanova twice, so probably them. Then again, I wouldn't mind BC being undefeated and at top ten team when we play them at the end of the month. Another argument, BC looks like they are cruising to an NCAA berth. We may be competing with Villanova for one at the end of the year. So who winning helps the Hoyas more?
Wednesday
Notre Dame at West Virginia - I think ND gets the nod. We play them twice, plus if we beat them on Sunday we want their perceived strength to be as high as possible when we do so.

You should have read him as Black Francis.
