The “cellar dwellers” (Georgetown (2-14), Xavier (4-13) and Butler (0-15) would help the Big East WBB Conference gain a measure of respect inside and outside of the conference if they were able to recruit better players and become more competitive, especially in non-conference play. The men’s teams for these 3 programs aren’t doing any better. They are all at the bottom of the conference standings joined by DePaul.

Every conference has their perennial cellar dwellers, but it would be a boon for the Big East if these three could turn their programs around and vie for the conference championship every year, or at worst an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament. A first or second place finish in the WNIT tournament every once in a while wouldn't hurt. Games against these three would be much more interesting and appealing to fans that would be more apt to attend those games if they could consistently play at the level of Creighton (15-4), Villanova (12-4) and Marquette (12-4). Keep hope alive. :cool:
