BIG EAST

The BIG East Conference is led by three solid teams and several others fighting for selection. The tournament may go a long way toward where these teams land in the big dance. UConn is the clear cut favorite. Creighton and Marquette can win the whole thing as well. Marquette’s Tyler Kolek has missed a few games with an oblique injury and may not be available for the tourney. The rest of the league needs wins to ensure selection
