Big East 2025-2026 predictions as of 12-15

Are Nova and Butlet at 12-8 tourney teams?

He’s got Xavier in last. It’s weird to see a McDermott team this low in a poor quality year.

He has Xavier tied for last with Marquette and DePaul. I don't think Xavier sucks like it looked like they would at the very start of the season after losing to both Santa Clara and Iowa by 19. It's an entirely new roster with a new coach but I think Pitino's kid can coach, they have some players and that's always a really tough place to play. They lost to Georgia by 1, beat West Virginia by 10, and beat Cincinnati by 5.

I think Seton Hall is legit despite being the physically smallest P-5 team. They don't play small and they play at a controlled frenetic pace that's pretty difficult to deal with. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they finish third in the league and beat us again in Newark.

It'll be an interesting matchup with the frenetecism because Hurley runs the opposite, so will be a battle of stylistic will. And with two PG's this year, you'd think we could get through it and then just bully/execute through it.

110-112 …. Out of balance

I missed that. Take a win away from whoever you want.

They’re in first place.

Not anymore they're not. So will Lunardi now have UConn as the Big East AQ? Just curious how he does this. What if Marquette happened to be 1-0 and in first place when he did this. Does he make the AQ whoever he has in the tournament and is the highest in the BE standings? The whole thing is projections so he might as well make predictions on the AQ rather than make Butler that after 1 game. Unless he thinks Butler will win the BET.

I guess who cares anyway. The bracketology at this point is pretty speculative.
