The Bracket Matrix averages the projected tournament field from a lot of sources, and UConn is currently a 6 seed. There really is a lot of consensus about us, with almost every recent bracket placing us from 5 to 7. With no bad losses, but only one top-notch win, this seems totally fair.

A few notes:
[LIST]
[*]Auburn (3 seed) is looking likely better win every game. 
[*]St. Bonaventure’s (5th team out) has obviously fallen. 
[*]VCU (13th team out) is not a bad win at all. 
[*]All of our (short-handed) losses are to top-7 seeds: Michigan St. (3!), Providence (7), and WVU (7). Beating just one of those three would have been great.

There are a lot of potential quality wins left in the Big East. Here is where the league stands:

5 - Xavier, Seton Hall, Villanova 
6 - Good guys
7 - Providence
11- Creighton 
Receiving votes - DePaul (4th team out), Marquette (9th team out), St. John’s (16th team out)

I see the Big East getting at least five bids no matter what, with six the most likely, and seven definitely possible. Perhaps most importantly, there is a whole lot of good basketball for us to watch the rest of the way!
