Joe Lunardi is now apparently releasing Wednesday brackets now. I believe he plans on released updated brackets every single day during the final week of the season. The Big East still has 6 teams in the field though there has been some movement along the seed lines.
Joe Lunardi’s Monday bracket is out and he still has 6 teams in the field from the Big East. Xavier is on the bracket as an 8 seed but the Musketeers were moved down a line and swapped spots with Ole Miss due to principals and procedures rules as Xavier could have potentially met Butler in the Round of 32. That can’t happen because the principles and procedures document states “teams from the same conference shall not meet prior to the regional semifinals (Sweet 16) if they played each other twice during the regular season and conference tournament.”
Joe Lunardi came out with his regular Thursday bracket update and now Jerry Palm is out with his Friday bracket update. Lunardi and Palm both have 6 teams in from the Big East but Palm is higher on St. John’s than Lunardi and they also disagree on seed lines for a couple other Big East schools.
It’s been a couple of weeks since the last Big East Bracketology update and there has been a few significant changes throughout the conference over that span. Seton Hall has taken a nosedive while Butler, Providence and Georgetown continue to look like NCAA Tournament locks with each passing day. Xavier got a nice road win at Cincinnati last night to help their bubble resume and St. John’s is still teetering on the bring. Let’s get into Joe Lunardi’s Thursday bracket release.
After a hiatus from creating a bracket I’m back with my latest attempt. We are now 24 days away from Selection Sunday and teams will be looking to finish their league season’s strong over the next few weeks. Note that my bracket is now part of the Bracket Matrix so head over there and see how mine compares to 80+ brackets submitted to that site.
The automatic qualifiers are based on the conference standings through games on February 18th.

Joe Lunardi came out with his most recent bracket on Thursday and he now has 6 Big East teams in the field of 68. St. John’s had been teetering on the edge and snuck in on his Monday bracket after beating Providence but have now fallen out after losing at Butler. Let’s get to the rest of the league.
This is week 2 of me attempting to build a bracket. Try to remember that when commenting and getting after me on Twitter but I appreciate all the feedback. I’ll give you my S-curve as well as try to seed teams while following the NCAA Selection Committee’s guidelines for seeding. I’ll try to do this post at least once a week as the season progresses and maybe more frequently as Selection Sunday gets closer. Note that my bracket is now part of the Bracket Matrix.
The automatic qualifiers are based on the conference standings through games on February 2nd.
