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.
