2019 March Madness Big East Seeds

[brentd]

Musketeers locked down #1 West region last year. Not looking so promising this season.

Villanova and Marquette will go to the dance, maybe St. John's if they're lucky.

Coach Steele will have his work cut out for him next year.

Nova and Marquette are #11 and #12, respectfully, NCAA Championship futures.

That makes them solid #3-#4 bids, maybe higher if Nova steamrolls to the finish line.

St. John's *maybe* gets in on the bottom of the bracket.

St. John's is like 500:1 to win. I think they're in on a low bid.

Xavier (Go Musketeers!), Georgetown, Seton Hall and Creighton all have the same 9-9 standing as of today.

Creighton is on a W5 game tear. St. John's is more of a long shot now.

Our game against Creighton on Thursday should be good. :drinks:
