[B]BIG EAST[/B]
 
There are a lot of "firsts" for the Big East this year: First year with a conference tournament (At Villanova? Sure, why not?); first year with an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament; and the first year that Syracuse may not decimate the league with dynamite.
 
When the league announced that it intended to sponsor men's lacrosse starting with with 2010 season, everyone that hadn't taken a tire iron to the skull at some point in their lives assumed that Syracuse would dominate the league from start to finish. There wasn't a refrain that the Orange would run through the conference with an unblemished record for all of eternity like many thought of Florida State football when it joined the ACC, but there wasn't much concern that Syracuse would ever be challenged year-in and year-out in the Big East.
 
Now, in 2012, serious questions about whether the Orange will continue its spotless effort abound. Notre Dame and Villanova are legitimate candidates to take home regular season and/or tournament trophies. Georgetown, mired in mediocrity the last few years and without an NCAA Tournament invitation since 2007, is lying in the weeds like a viper waiting to attack. The remainder of the league probably has a better shot at lottery winnings than to finish at the top of the table, but that doesn't diminish the fact that the Big East is as unsettled as ever.
 
These are crazy times down at Costello music.
