After a mainly straightforward Friday, when first-round play kicked off the festivities at the BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Tournament, Saturday went haywire.

It’s March.

Bring on March. Bring on madness.

The BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Tournament begins Friday March 3 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut as 11 teams look to win the automatic bid to the 2023 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament.

What’s been the biggest storyline regarding the BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Player of the Year race this season?

Something that hadn’t occurred to a certain BIG EAST team in 30 years happened – and it still might not have been the craziest moment across the league last week.

With less than three weeks remaining until the end of the BIG EAST women’s basketball regular season, the league seems to be in a state of inexactness.

February doesn't quite hold the same prestige as March in the college basketball world, but plenty of seasons are won and lost in the month before the madness.

The BIG EAST softball season usually is bound for a feverish fight, but that rings especially true for the 2023 campaign ahead.

It might just be gut-check week for many of the women's basketball teams in the BIG EAST.

Revenge is best served cold, and for some BIG EAST teams, as they play their first repeat opponents of the league slate in the next few weeks, they'll be looking to deal it out in the most inconvenient of ways.

Drexel graduate guard Keishana Washington was named to the Ann Meyers Drysdale National Player of the Year watch list by the United States Basketball Writers Association on Wednesday.

So, what can we all take away from the first half of the BIG EAST women's basketball season?

Welcome to a new year, BIG EAST women's hoops fans. Like what you see?

The BIG EAST has proven itself perhaps the deepest of league’s in women’s basketball this season, and thus every league game offers a tough test.
