The NBA Finals is also a Big East reunion as five of the 10 starters are alumni of the conference and six are in action.

Some thoughts on guys who made their mark at MSG in college now looking to do the same again, this time for a world championship:

Now do Pawtucket.

This is fantastic. 10/10.

And Marquette product Tyler Kolek on the Knicks gives the conference a total of six alumni in the NBA Finals. And with 3 games at MSG, there’s no lack of familiarity. A combined 5 Big East Tournament titles in this group…4 BE Player of the Year, 4 BE Tournament MOP honors.

What a great story and message - a minor setback does not prevent a major accomplishment @StJohnsBBall @JulianChampagn2

"I thought it was over. I ain't gonna lie to you. Getting waived with no warning, no nothing, explanation or anything, it was tough. Big, big shout out to the San Antonio Spurs taking an opportunity to a kid from Brooklyn"

"We do it to honor the history and their memory.”

The Boston Shootout was once the nation's premier grassroots showcase, drawing countless future NBA stars.

Decades later, the Shootout is carried on by @thebabc and remains a fixture. Story @GlobeSchools:

College basketball has a Power Five, not the "P4."

Val Ackerman is a big reason why.

She showed up to the Big East 13 years ago and refused to let the league wither amid football-driven realignment. Column on a most influential figure in hoops history:

For more than 25 years, comedian Dave Chappelle has called the small village of Yellow Springs, Ohio, home.

@IAmAmnaNawaz traveled there to meet with Chappelle and understand why he’s invested millions of dollars into this community and why he believes the local public media station is crucial to the town’s future.
