Episode 5 of the This Week in The BIG EAST Radio Show features St. John’s head coach Steve Lavin, supervisor of BIG EAST officials John Cahill and longtime Daily News BIG EAST beat reporter Roger Rubin.
This week, John Rooke and Kevin McNamara take listeners through where the teams stand halfway through the conference season analyzing the BIG EAST standings from top to bottom, what the magic number of wins will be to potentially make the NCAA tournament and impact players within the league.
In the BIG EAST Spotlight, Lavin talks about the potential of having St. John’s turn it around for the second half of conference play and his experience in being in similar positions. Cahill, a long time NCAA referee, explains the points of emphasis for the officials in the BIG EAST this year and the adjustments teams must make with the rules changes, especially with post play. This week, Rubin gives the national perspective and how the conference has “mastered the numbers” this year in how it has increased their chances of getting more than half the teams in the NCAA Tournament.
