ESPN's take on the Big West

    This is pretty dismissive, almost nothing about basketball.

    Big West Conference
    Every school is a vacation destination

    This could be a fierce race as Justin Hohn (14.0 PPG) and the UC Irvine Anteaters aim to hold off the rest of the conference. But let's forget the on-court play for a second; this is a league full of incredible campuses in great locations. While you're stuck at home in the cold this winter, the schools in this league will spend time in Hawai'i, San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and other warm destinations. And we'll watch it all because we're jealous, honestly.

    Here's the women's version, which stuck to basketball, at least:

    Hawaii Rainbow Wahine trying to run, slowly, to a third straight title: If Hawaii is going to represent the Big West in the NCAA tournament for a third straight year, it will be done slowly. Methodical has been the approach for 12-year coach Laura Beeman in winning the past two Big West tournaments. Last season the Rainbow Wahine ranked 340th in possessions per 40 minutes. This season they are 343rd, and they rank 27th in points allowed (56.1 per game). Keeping the pace slow has translated to team success. Hawaii doesn't have a double-figure scorer or a player who ranks in the top 15 in the Big West in field goal percentage but remains just a half-game out of first place.
