Heat Check also put out their preliminary [URL='https://heatcheckcbb.com/heat-check-cbb-march-madness-bracketology/']bracket for next year[/URL]. We're a 6 seed, and they have 6 Big East teams in the field including in no particular order: St. John's (8), Butler (11), Seton Hall (11, play in), Xavier (10), Villanova (2). A few scattered thoughts:
[LIST=1]
[*]We're solidly now seen as the 2nd best team in the league. Can't argue with that, we have to actually beat Nova for people to think differently. 
[*]The middle of the Big East is a huge question mark. 6 bids is probably our ceiling as a conference next season. Who is gonna step up and win some big games besides us, Nova, and (hopefully) the Johnnies? Can Creighton surprise people next year?
[*]Echoing what others have said in this thread, I'd be very surprised if Butler was an at-large big next year. They'll have lots of Q1&2 opportunities (just like we will) but this would be a massive improvement for them. I don't see it.
[*]The American is a 2 bid league again, same as the A10 and the Mountain West. Lol
