As you'd expect from such a powerful basketball conference, the quarterfinals bracket of the 2011 Big East Tournament offers four excellent games on Thursday. Starting the day off is perhaps the best of the four match-ups, as No. 1 Pittsburgh takes on UConn. The Huskies are fresh off a dominating win over Georgetown on Wednesday, while Pitt looks to secure its one-seed in the NCAA Tournament. That game tips off at Noon ET on ESPN.
Following Pitt-UConn in the Big East Tournament bracket is Syracuse vs. St. John's at 2 p.m. ET, in a match-up of potential three and four-seeds in the NCAA Tournament. The night session features Notre Dame vs. Cincinnati as the Irish make their case for a one-seed, followed by Louisville vs. Marquette at 9 p.m. ET. All games are televised on ESPN.
