Preseason Bracketology All the Rage This Week
After 7 months of “way too early” preseason projections it’s now pretty timely to be making preseason projections — if for no other reason than the preseason ends tonight. This week has seen lots of different publications come out with their preseason bracketology — something that people might argue is still way too early — and there has been a bit of a dichotomy about where Providence stands in regards to the NCAA Tournament following the 2015-16 season. It appears that dichotomy stands between the human based projections and those generated by data and computer programs.

ESPN’s Joe Lunardi Releases His Preseason 2015-16 Bracketology
Early August means preseason bracketology, because why not? ESPN’s Joe Lunardi has released his preseason bracket and the Big East has 5 teams in the field of 68. The Friars are not currently one of those 5 but they are right on the cusp, according to Lunardi. The ACC leads the way with 9 teams in the field followed by the SEC, Pac 12, Big 12 and Big Ten getting 6 teams each. The American (4) and Atlantic 10 (2) are the other multi-bid leagues in Lunardi’s bracket.
Here are the notable Big East results from Lunardi’s preaseson bracket:

Big East Bracketology Update 3/15/15
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:
Big East Bracketology Update 3/14/15
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:
