I beg to differ..... Friars in the play in game after finishing 3rd in the BE?

They totally over rated the Big Ten teams.

Doesn't matter what place you finish in a conference. The resume all around matters. Other than beating Rhode Island at home Providence didn't do much out of conference.

A lot of bracketologists predicted 68/68 this year. Fairly predictable field made easier by RI winning today.

One thing is clear, X would have been out had they lost to DePaul, and maybe if they hadn't beaten Butler.

I think CU needed to beat XU to get a 6 seed. Things really worked out well for the league this year.

Sucks that Marquette has to play a game against South Carolina in South Carolina but I like the match up. Plus a lot of duke fans will be in the arena so I have to think they are going to be rooting on Wojo and Marquette in that game.

Xavier goes from great matchup with Maryland to terrible matchup with Florida State.
P.S Villanova please destroy Wisconsin....can't stand their fans.

5 games are virtual toss-ups and then Butler and Nova heavily favored
