    On this week’s Big East Energy Weekly, Casey Matthews and Mark Zanetto discuss how Villanova is reloading under Kevin Willard — and why the Wildcats may not be done in the transfer portal just yet. With one of the most calculated offseasons in the Big East, Nova is quietly building something serious, especially with the addition of star Freshman Acaden Lewis.

    They also dive into the heavyweight non-conference matchups that could shift the national narrative: St. John’s vs. Kentucky, UConn vs. Florida, and Marquette vs. Purdue — and close the show by asking a critical question: Can Seton Hall survive the NIL era?

    Alex Karaban might be coming back to UConn… but is that actually the biggest Big East news of the week? St. John’s just landed a monster portal class under Rick Pitino — and we brought in New York Post’s Zach Braziller to break it all down.

    In this episode of Big East Energy, we debate which storyline moves the needle more: Karaban’s potential return or St. John’s portal power moves that could reshape the Big East and have them repeating as Big East champions?

    We dive deep into what Karaban means for UConn’s 3rd title in four years, and how Pitino’s additions could finally make the Johnnies a legitimate national title contender. Don’t miss this sharp, fast-paced episode loaded with Big East insight.
