It's an annual tale, but it never gets old. And Bob Huggins -- some 20 minutes after his unranked West Virginia team had knocked off 13th-ranked Georgetown in Washington D.C. -- didn't have to tell an old story to illustrate it.
Still, this was his example of what a monster Big East conference play is every year, including this one:
"We came out here (to Georgetown) two years ago, we were playing three freshman, and we won. And I was giddy,'' Huggins said Saturday. "I go out and get on the bus with my Jimmy John's sandwich, and (his assistants) come out and drop about 12 tapes on my chair. And I say, 'What's this?', because I want to relax a little bit. They say, 'Coach, we've got Pitt on Monday.' And they were No. 2 in the country.''
So it goes in the Big East, once again. Some two weeks into conference play, and the league is devouring itself again. It began last week with seven teams ranked in the AP top 25, six in the top 15 and four in the top 10. Cincinnati, unbeaten and ranked 24th, lost at Villanova Sunday; the Hoyas lost twice. Meanwhile, of the seven teams that began the week without a Big East loss, three were beaten, including surprise early leader St. John's, which likely lost a chance to enter the rankings this week when it got throttled at Notre Dame Saturday.
