Yes... the preliminary round on  Friday should be  Providence
and Xavier,  St. John's and  Georgetown, and  Seton Hall and
Butler ( or some variation of that).   The  " big deal"  for the
next group of teams is who will avoid  UCONN until the Finals.
Every game counts and  there could be only  percentage points
between the  #2  seed and whoever comes in  # 3 and #  4.
One game left for  Creighton vs DePaul  = they play each
on Sunday.  DePau (two games left)l must win on Friday and Sunday to
claim the  # 2 spot.  ( see  % below)  But... if  Villanova " wins out" 
( with two games left after their come from behind victory over
Georgetown )and  if  the
chips fall the right way, Villanova could claim  #2 with a  Big East
record of  15 -  4 :   15/19  = a winning percentage of  .780.  One
less loss makes a big difference when it comes to percentages:
 if  Creighton wins on Sunday they will end up  16 and  4  =  
16/20  = .800 .  But if 
Depaul  splits ( with a loss to Seton Hall on Friday night, 
Senior  Night in Chicago! )  even if the loss is combined with a 
win over  Creighton ( in Iowa !), still DePaul ends up  14  -  6
14/20  or   .700.     This could be very interesting... who wants
it the most.!!    Remember if  Creighton  win on Sunday
they end up  16 -4  or  .800. !    I'm guessing  Creighton pevails
and  Villanova will win out and claim  the  # 3 slot with DePaul
being  #4 and needing  to win the  # 4  vs #5  GAME ( not 
the seeding  #  4 vs #5  teams but "Game #5 " on  Saturday at   2:30 PM)
and then DePaul will need to  win the  # 8 game  (Semifinal) over,
we assume,  UCONN.   The other semifinal would be ( probably)
Villanova  vs   Creighton.    So   ,  if  it goes according to Zarathustra
it's  Creighton vs  UCONN in the final  ,  or "happy day" , a rematch of
Villanova  vs  UCONN on Monday in the finals.  Which spells 
"Revenge".             Let the games  continue!!!.   Z       
P.S.    Does anyone see any mistakes in my math ( gammar school
stuff, but.....  )????
