Full list of Big East mirror games, or: Oh my God Notre Dame and Connecticut got screwed

This was supposed to get posted last week, but stuff happened and it didn't.

CINCINNATI
Georgetown, Providence and St. John's

CONNECTICUT

Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Seton Hall

DEPAUL
Marquette, Pittsburgh, South Florida

GEORGETOWN

Cincinnati, Marquette, Syracuse

LOUISVILLE
Notre Dame, South Florida, West Virginia

MARQUETTE
DePaul, Georgetown, Villanova

NOTRE DAME
Connecticut, Louisville, St. John's

PITTSBURGH
Connecticut, DePaul, West Virginia

PROVIDENCE

Cincinnati, Rutgers, Villanova

RUTGERS
Providence, Seton Hall, Syracuse

ST. JOHN'S
DePaul, Notre Dame, Seton Hall

SETON HALL
Connecticut, Rutgers, St. John's

SOUTH FLORIDA
DePaul, Louisville, West Virginia

SYRACUSE
Georgetown, Rutgers, Villanova

VILLANOVA
Marquette, Providence, Syracuse

WEST VIRGINIA
Louisville, Pittsburgh, South Florida

Notre Dame is going to be good, but four games against perhaps the league's two best teams, and then another pair against a St. John's team that would be competitive if it had axed Norm Roberts is a rough slate. Connecticut wasn't done any favors either, having to play the Irish, Pitt and dangerous Seton Hall more than once.

Apparently Fred Hill knows someone at the league office, because the Scarlet Knights were dealt an extremely favorable hand with Providence, Seton Hall and Syracuse.

Still feeling cautiously positive about the Cards' draw. Much of the level of difficulty is going to depend on how quickly the young guys in Morgantown develop.

ND, Pitt and UConn

All flamed out in the tourney, although a terrible injury had a lot to do with UConn’s loss. Anyway, I think these teams will all be good, but I really don’t think they will be better than us. We could easily lose @ND but if Pitt and UConn are Saturday night games (or even Thursday night?) we aren’t losing those games.

UNC will be stacked, and I guess Memphis will always have great athlete$ but I think we have to be pre-season #2 or #3 behind either UConn or Pitt.

UConn def. gets screwed having to play Pitt twice.
