Wednesday's Heavy Slate of Games 12-2

[DudeAnon]

Only saw bits and pieces of 3 games so here are my thoughts:

Butler
Butler gonna Butler

Creighton
Seemed to sort of get nervous when it counted. Also seems the team will go as far as Groselle will take them. Guards were very inconsistent.

Seton Hall
Hated their attitude in crunch time. Slumped shoulders etc.

At this point, I would guess we have 5 tourney teams: Nova, XU, Butler, Georgetown, Marquette/Providence

It certainly does not have to be an either/or for Providence and Marquette making the tourney (and honestly, Marquette is most likely not winning out in that situation). The Big East is strong enough again to put 6 teams into the NCAA's, but in Marquette's case it will likely take finishing a game or two ahead of a couple of the top five teams (most likely case for me would be Butler and Providence). Marquette probably needs 10 conference wins to dance if we beat Wisconsin, and 11 if we do not beat the damn Badgers.

You're probably right. Providence has done a pretty good job OOC so your scenario could play out. Heres to hoping it does.

I see 5 tournament teams as of now: Nova, Georgetown, X, Butler and PC. Marquette is number 6 if they win the rest of their non-conference.

DePaul destroyed UIC at the UIC Pavilion with a final score of 82-55. UIC's lone win was against Roosevelt University, an NAIA school.
