Bill Koch pointed out an interesting trend going on in the Big East so far. Pittsburgh, the defending regular-season champion, is 0-4. Perennial powers Louisville (1-3) and Villanova (1-4) are off to rough starts. Meanwhile, UC is in third place at 3-1 behind second-place Seton Hall at 4-1. It made me take a closer look at the early standings (thur 1/12) from the basketball super conference:
