Optimistic Keyontae Johnson update, Big East considering pod play in four cities, Marquette should be a tournament team (College Basketball 12/16)

Might the Big East be the trendsetter in college hoops? Matt Norlander had a report — which you can read here as you listen to the pod — that quoted league commissioner Val Ackerman and got into the topic of whether or not the Big East (and other power conferences) could ultimately decide to play league games in controlled environments in January, February or March. The guys extend the Big East chatter with thoughts on Marquette (19:30) and its upset win at Creighton. On Tuesday we got great news about the health status of Florida’s Keyontae Johnson (27:15), and on Tuesday night Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer (31:25) became the winningest coach in women’s basketball history.
