Big East Media Day is being held Wednesday at Madison Square Garden. The Friars sent Ed Cooley, Kris Dunn, Junior Lomomba, Ben Bentil and Jalen Lindsey down to NYC for day’s festivities which include opening remarks from league commissioner Val Ackerman among other speakers. The event kicks off at 9:30am. You can follow all the action on Twitter by using the hashtag #BEmediaday and watch a live stream on the Fox Sports GO app.
