Big East Tournament Bottom 4
« on: February 18, 2013, 07:11:06 PM »
Bottom 4 teams play the 1st day.

Is it safe to think those 4 are set?

Providence has 2 game lead on Rutgers who just lost Eli Carter for the year.

So with 14 teams they will have bottom 4 play on Tuesday.

Then of the remaining 10 teams have seeds 5-10 combine with the 2 winners from Tuesday creating 8 teams and play 4 games on Wednesday.  That gets you 4 more winners.

Those 4 winners combine with the the top 4 teams who got double byes and you get the Quarterfinals on Thursday, correct?

It is actually official as of tonight after Providence went on the road and beat Rutgers.  Rutgers, DePaul, SHU and USF will play on Tuesday just need to determine the seeding. 

BTW-Look at this stretch by the two BE NJ teams over the last month.  RU has now lost 9 out of 10 and SHU has lost 9 in a row.  That is a combined 18 out of 19 and the only win was when RU played...you guessed it SHU.  So the only win in a combined 19 game stretch for the two schools was when there was no choice because they played each other.
