Official Big East Tournament Bracket

[stever20]

What does our resident bracketologist have to say about the possible NCAA seeding implications of these games?

You talking about me?

Nova- think if they make the final they'll be a 1 seed.
Xavier- if they win the tourney, they'll be a 1 seed. lose in the final a 2 seed. lose before the final, a 3 seed.
Seton Hall- if they win the tourney, 4 seed. lose in the final 5 seed. lose in sf, 6 seed. lose 1st rd 7 or 8 seed.
PC- if they win the tourney, 5 or 6 seed. lose in final 6 seed. lose in sf 8 seed. lose 1st rd- 10 seed.
Butler- if they win the tourney, 7 seed. lose in final 8 seed. lose in sf 9-10 seed. lose 1st rd- 11 seed- quite possibly in Dayton

Creighton- if they win tourney- 10-11 seed
Marquette- if they win tourney- 10-11 seed
Georgetown- if they win tourney- 14-15 seed
DePaul/St Johns- if they win tourney- the world is over.

Georgetown- if they win tourney- 14-15 seed
DePaul/St Johns- if they win tourney- the world is over.

Any loss for Xavier other than St. John's will get them a 2 Seed. If you think of the teams fighting for a 2 seed most will lose and Xavier has the upper hand on them.

I think Butler would probably be a 6 seed were they to win it all. I think they may be a 7 or 8 seed right now.

I don't think Xavier is the top 2 seed right now. A loss before the final would be to Seton Hall(a decent loss), Creighton(would be viewed as a pretty bad loss), Marquette(would be viewed as a pretty bad loss). I just think the other 2's around would pass them up, and at least 1 of the 3's would as well.

Like I could see if Xavier loses before the final....
1's being Kansas, Nova, Virginia, Mich St
2's being Oregon, Oklahoma/WVU winner, UNC, Oklahoma/WVU loser if it's Oklahoma

With Xavier being the top 3 seed. It would be really close between them and Oklahoma I think. Remember, Oklahoma in the QF of Big 12 tourney adds Iowa St. Oregon can win the P12 tourney. UNC gets to the final- tough to see them not getting at least a 2.

Absolutely no way Butler is a 7-8 seed right now. RPI is 45, 3-7 vs RPI top 50, 35 in KP. They're probably like a 10 seed right now.

I would not be surprised to see Creighton make a run, as long as Mo is healthy.

I find it hard to believe WVU would jump Xavier without winning the Big 12 Tourney but you will find stats that prove why, I'll find that's that prove my case but at the end of the day it all comes down to what the committee values.

[stever20]

If X loses before the final- means they lost to either Seton Hall, Creighton, Marquette, or St John's. Only adds a win vs either Marquette or St John's- in the 2/7 game.
if WVU beats Oklahoma- means they would have beaten Texas Tech and Oklahoma at least.
right now- RPI- X 6, WVU 10
KP- WV 6, X 15

So WVU adds 2 top 25 wins, plus a loss to #1 Kansas.
X adds maybe a win vs a team not even in the top 100, plus a loss to at best 30th best team in Seton Hall.

Bracket-matrix has BU at second 10 and still somehow not on one bracket. Lowest is a 6 and now starting to see a lot of 7,8, and 9s, but mostly 9-11 and a few 12s that are dragging us down a little. ESPN 10 and CBSSports 9.
Where they end up depends a lot on how other teams play in their conference tourneys, but to say no way they're a 7-8 might be a bit harsh. Not wrong but stretching it a little since some have us there. I'd put us at a 10 if we lose first round, 7 second round loss and play Nova tough, 6 lose to X close in the final and 5 if we win it all. The close matters, because I'm thinking that the strong finish will have us trending up and a blow out loss will diminish that though process and drop us a seed line for each of my predictions.

How everyone else ends up is farther than I want to dig into, because the ones, twos, and threes are all one loss/win away from moving up or down a line or two with when, who, and how they win/lose across the board this year.

That's assuming all goes according to plan in other conference tourneys as well. I'm sure some other candidates for a 2 seed will lose in their conference tournaments.
