Big East Basketball is just starting up league play. What are some key questions about the teams in the conference for the rest of the way?

There might not have been a conference that has gone through so much news more than Big East Basketball. Several of the programs have gone through much turmoil, including Georgetown losing three key rotation players, Seton Hall losing their two best guys for a little while, and just about everyone else dealing with some kind of serious injury.

Far as the standings and reactions from the non-conference, there are no bigger surprises than Butler and DePaul. The Bulldogs look top-10 good, while the Blue Demons are on track to finally make the NCAA Tournament. Meanwhile, Providence has some work to do to avoid being the clear-cut most disappointing team in the Big East.

With so much going on, I decided to ask a few of our Busting Brackets writers to help answer some burning questions I and maybe others currently have entering the new year. It’s a continuation of a series of roundtables, with the Big East up next. Here are the participants and their social media handles, which you should please follow for more Big East and other college basketball content.
