Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2080192, member: 6927"] Four of the five "power-5" conference tournaments wrapped up yesterday, but still plenty of action today: Big East semifinals: [LIST] [*][B]#2 Creighton[/B] vs. [B]#3 Marquette[/B], 4:00 ET (FS1). Both teams have had great seasons and will be in the NCAA tournament. Creighton swept Marquette in the regular season. But Marquette was the only Big East team to beat DePaul this year, and did it twice. [*][B]#1 DePaul [/B]vs. [B]#5 St. John's[/B], 6:30 ET (FS1). DePaul is in strong contention for the final top-16 hosting spot. St. John's upset DePaul in last year's Big East semifinals and went on to steal the automatic bid. Can St. John's repeat the feat? [/LIST] AAC championship game: [LIST] [*][B]UConn[/B] vs. [B]South Florida[/B], 7:00p ET (ESPN2). South Florida left no doubt about its at-large bid with a gritty win over Temple yesterday. USF may be one of the few teams in the country with even less depth than UConn, but they've somehow managed to fight through. [/LIST] Big 12 championship game: [LIST] [*][B][B]Baylor[/B][/B] vs. [B]West Virginia[/B], 9:00 ET (FS1). WV demolished Oklahoma and outplayed Texas to get to the final. In their last meeting, WV played Baylor very close in Waco. If Creme's projection of WV as a #8 seed is correct, they are the most dangerous #8 seed I can remember seeing. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
