Big East Preview

Team To Beat

Villanova 24-7 (13-5) In the loaded Big East, the Wildcats have earned wins against many great teams and earned a share of the regular season title. They enter the tournament on a 2 game win streak.

Contenders

Creighton 24-7 (13-5) Creighton took part in a three way tie with Villanova and Seton Hall for a share of the regular season title. With a 17-1 home record and riding a 2 game win streak, the Bluejays are going to be tough to beat.

Seton Hall 21-9 (13-5) The Pirates lost their last 2 games to Villanova and Seton Hall; however, that doesn’t discredit their resume as a whole. This is a very talented and dangerous team as we enter March.

Upset Alert

Providence 19-12 (12-6) With losses to Long Beach State and Charleston, the Friars were thought to be out for the count at Christmas. After going 8-2 to end conference play with wins against the conference’s top teams, Providence and their 6 game win streak could cause some madness in March.
