The final week of the regular season is now upon us with Big East play coming to a crescendo on Saturday with all ten teams in action. There are a lot of bubbles bouncing around in the air right now and both national media members and bracket aggregating sites like BracketMatrix.com are pumping out lots of predictions and content as conference tournament season rapidly approaches for all the power conferences.

Joe Lunardi’s latest Selection Sunday bracket and “Bracket Math” are out Sunday morning. Within the Big East the only real movement since yesterday is that Butler falls off the 6 line and the Bulldogs are now a 7 seed. There’s also an intriguing potential matchup for Providence and an old head coach of theirs. One other thing to check out below is that, per a suggestion on Twitter, I have included the percentage of teams in the field from each conference in the “Conference Breakdown” portion of this post.
Here is a breakdown of where the 6 Big East teams fall on the seed lines Lunardi’s latest bracket:
Joe Lunardi has updated his bracket through action on Friday night and he still has 6 Big East teams in with half of those teams on the 6 line. Villanova made a big move from the 4th 1 seed to the 2nd 1 seed with the losses of Virginia and Duke in the ACC semifinals last night. The biggest thing for Villanova is they are now locked into a 1 seed even with a loss tonight in the Big East Tournament finals. If they win they get to stay in the East region and that would be nice for their fans.
Here is a breakdown of where the 6 Big East teams fall on the seed lines Lunardi’s latest bracket:
Joe Lunardi considers the following Big East teams to have a 90% or better chance of making it to the NCAA Tournament:
Villanova
Georgetown
Butler
Providence
St. John’s
Xavier
That means it appears the Big East will get 60% of it’s teams into the field of 68. The only conference to have a higher percentage of their team’s in Lunardi’s bracket on March 9th is the Big 12 who has 70% of their league in the field.
Here is a breakdown of where the 6 Big East teams fall on the seed lines Lunardi’s latest bracket:
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.
