Actually, John Marinatto did that yesterday as the Big East’s commissioner ceremonially commenced conference’s tournament week by ringing the bell on Wall Street. Apropos becaus the feeling is the always perplexing Big East Tournament might be at its head-scratching best this season.

“Anything you could tell me that could happen this week, I’d believe it,” Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun told The Post. “If someone thinks they’ve got it figured out, I’d love to hear it. Because I’ve been in this business for 39 years and I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

What’s going to happen, beginning today, is the nation’s premier conference hosting what could be its most unpredictable tournament in the World’s Most Famous Arena.

Hyperbole, you say?

Consider this: The 2011 Big East Tournament came up just shy of being the first tournament of four or more days to have two nationally ranked teams playing on the opening day.

Calhoun’s Huskies, ranked No. 21, are the ninth seed and open the tourney at noon today against DePaul. Villanova, just outside the

Top 25 national rankings in 28th, begins the night session against South Florida.

The calculations like Pitt and Notre Dame the most — and WVU not so much — while Las Vegas agrees … on both accords. The Panthers and the Fighting Irish enjoy 2-to-1 odds but seven of the 11 NCAA (worthy) teams enjoy odds at 12-to-1 or better. That’s ridiculous. The field has 30-to-1 odds, which is the same as Marquette and better than Villanova (50-to-1).
