It's no secret the Sportstemps are partial to the happenings in the Midwest and tend to neglect items that happen on the coasts. While the watching games on the West Coast can be a bit inconvenient due to scheduling, East Coast games seem to be on whenever you're flipping through the channels. The world's biggest sports network will pummel the average American with commercials advertising mediocre matchups just because they happen close to home. Let Dick Vitale continue to praise the awesomeness of the ACC just because he was buds with Jimmy V and Dean Smith. And let Doug Gottlieb continue to pretend he knows all just because. That being said, there is some good basketball being played out east and just because we don't have a horse in the race doesn't mean we don't follow what's going on.
I've decided to take a break from the Big Ten this week and start a run-down of the major conferences to provide a quick overview of how each team is doing and where they stand in relation to their league-mates. We'll start with one of ESPN's favorites: the Big East.

- Syracuse 16-0 (3-0) - A perfect 15-0 record to go along with a more than convincing win over Seton Hall. This is a team whose biggest road bump to an undefeated January will be a home match with Marquette.
