Big East 2024-2025

Haven’t done the math myself but I read that if CU wins these last 2 they are the 2 seed no matter what Marquette does.

If CU and Marquette both win out, the first tiebreaker that would separate the teams would be record against Nova, giving us the edge via the sweep we had.

To the best of my math
If we lose both and Marquette wins both, we are 3rd

If Marquette only loses 1 game (and we win only 1 game), we are in 2nd. So if we beat at least Butler, and Marquette loses to U Conn- we beat Villanova twice. Which is the closest tie breaker. If they lose to St John's, we split with St John's that is the 1st tie breaker.

If U Conn wins both and we only win 1, St John's is again the tie breaker for the 3 of us tied teams, if Marquette only loses to U Conn that is.

If U Conn wins both AND Marquette and we lose both, we are 3rd behind U Conn who would have a better record and 3rd because of the win versus St John's.

So, go Creighton and go St John's

Good analysis. Thank you.

I’m also relieved that I probably don’t need to pull for “Mr. 2 Rings”

Looks like I got the 3 way tie wrong. If U Conn goes 2 and 0 and MU and CU go 1 and 1, then we are 3rd behind U Conn. That just means if U Conn beats MU, we still need St John's to beat MU

… and if we go 0-2 we could theoretically fall all the way to the four seed.
