Just Marquette and Creighton going to the tourney this year? That's how it looks now. This is usually the case. Still, if one of the other top mid tier* teams goes on a tear starting now, an argument could be made. There's always the auto-bid scenario too. *This is really the crux of the issue. There's not really a clear 2nd tier in the Big East. It's Creighton/Marquette and then 6 teams who are not immune to upsets by the bottom 3. A clear second tier would create separation from the bottom and then you'd have a few teams at least in range of at-large. |

Joanne Persico of St. John's showed up for the Creighton match wearing a referee's shirt (day after Halloween). A couple of years ago she dressed as a nun for a Halloween match.
How does everyone feel about that? On the one hand, it's supposed to be fun. On the other hand, I've never seen a coach in another NCAA sport do it.

I wish more coaches had personality like her. |

The coaches dressed as a ref thing isn't new, and I have mixed feelings about it. It was more her (lack of) sideline demeanor that I thought needed reigned in and something other things the refs either ignored or failed to notice. I posted earlier about how I felt/what I thought happened. But the actual refs were a bit less than tuned in I think (lots of replays resulted in calls getting reversed, so no one lost a challenge card). |

I think that Coach Persico wearing a Halloween costume was great. I was also impressed with how hard her team played. I was sitting three rows away from her and also agree with boxcariii that she was over the top with the side ref. I told my wife that (with her costume), I thought she would be in a GOOD mood. |

Xavier at St. John's feels like a huge match tomorrow for both teams.
A Red Storm win puts both at 7-7 and tied in conference.
A Musketeer win puts Xavier at 8-6, St. John's at 6-8, and Xavier would hold the H2H tie-breaker over the two teams since Xavier already won in Cincinnati.
DePaul at Villanova
A Nova win puts a bit of pressure on DePaul. DePaul still has Creighton/Marquette/UConn remaining. If DePaul wins, they should feel fine about making the B-E Tournament. Nova should be pretty nervous if they lose.
UConn just got swept by Seton Hall... Georgetown could make things really interesting by also beating UConn.
The 3-7 race in the Big East is pretty wild right now.

I think Xavier's basically out now. They still have Marquette/Creighton remaining. They already lose the H2H tie-breaker with Villanova.
UConn/St. John's/Villanova are all done with Creighton/Marquette and are all currently even or better than Xavier. DePaul still has Marquette/Creighton, but DePaul is a full two games in front of Xavier and DePaul has the tie-breaker anyway if it got there.
