Big East Regular Season Title Outlook

[NotADime89]

UConn would not have a share of the league title at that point. Losing the last 2 on the road would put us at 15-5 and Marquette could be 16-4.

If Creighton beats Marquette and we win, then yeah we'd have a share of the title.

No thats incorrect. If UConn beats Seton Hall Sunday we'd be 16-2 so that would guarantee them a share of the title. They are 15-2 today

Sorry, not sure what I was looking at. Conflating the overall losses probably. (We would lose the 1 seed tiebreaker if both teams were 16-4 though).

Right but the tie breaker is only for BET purposes only. Obviously I want them to bury Marquette on the 6th, was just hoping to witness the league present the regular season championship trophy at Gampel on Sunday no matter the outcome of the Creighton/Marquette game Saturday.

The silver lining us is that UConn v Marquette is more hyped if Marquette beats Creighton. So if Creighton wins Huskies can lock up the BE earlier, if Marquette wins we get to compete in & watch an even more hyped tournament pressure type road game next Wednesday night.

Creighton has a shot at getting 2 seed in the ncaat if they keep winning right? I assume a win vs Marquette bumps them into the top 10. Imagine being a 3 or 4 in conference and a potential 2 with Marquette (who can still vie for a 1) in the tournament. We are the definition of top heavy. But good top heavy. 3 with a 2 seed or better?

I guess if they were to win out it's possible, but it's highly unlikely. They weren't even a top 4 seed 2 weeks ago so that's a lot of ground to make up on teams with more chances for good wins. And if they did somehow pull it off, it comes at the expense of Marquette since they'd have to beat Marquette twice to have a chance

No chance of getting 3 of the top 8 seeds. 123 is what you will see. Creighton can only be a 2 by beating Marquette twice and UConn in big east tournament championship game. In that scenario Marquette drops to 3

The big issue to me, as far as seeding goes, is by being the number one seed Creighton and Marquette will have to play each other to get the championship game and UConn will only have to play one or the other, not both.
