Latest Bracket Math from ESPN’s Joe Lunardi 1/9/16
Joe Lunardi released his updated Bracket Math on Twitter ahead of Saturday’s games. Lunardi has five Big East teams in his field of 68 with Xavier topping the league as a 2 seed. Villanova moved back up to the 3 line, while Providence is the top 4 seed. Butler finds themselves on the 6 line after their rough start to league play and Seton Hall rounds out the Big East contingent as a 10 seed. Marquette has moved up to being in the “Next Four Out” category, so the Big East could potentially match the 6 teams they got into the Big Dance a season ago.
