Anyone know off hand what the past years outcomes have been and which league has won?

5-5 the last two years, I believe.

Big East leads 23-15, as of now, including 2-0 so far this year. FS1 just showed it during the X game, but here’s the breakdown since the Battle started in 2019 (when the Big East went 8-2):

Nice win Johnnies! 24-16 Big East.

Kansas in the challenge:
2023 home game against UConn
2022 home game against Pirates
2021 vs a mediocre St. John's team at the Garden
2020 home game against Creighton

I also wondered if they ever made KU play a hard road game. I guess we have our answer.

Disappointing result for my Huskies, but I think we win that game if fully healthy or on a neutral court. So at least there's that.

Hoyas won. If Nova could’ve closed out KSt, Big East wins 6-5. So the overall results look bad but it wasn’t all that awful.

Lost in the game-winner for TCU is the sh-t call with 2.8 secs to let Epps go to the line. Compare that to the end of regulation with PC-KState. Also, why didnt Epps miss his second shot on purpose? TCU had no timeouts. Bad clueless coaching.

Side note: Big 12 had 6 home games vs our 5 homes. Also, 2 of our home games went to dregs DePaul and Georgetown. Meanwhile, UConn, Creighton, Villanova, Providence, St John's and The Hall had tough road games.
