How do you think the tournament will go down?

What upsets do you think will happen?


My site is based off reviewing arenas and stadiums.

Who has the best in the Big East?

Your picks are based off of the stadiums and arenas they play in?

no those are picks for the conference tournament.

I was just looking for feedback from the big east fans on who had the best arenas/stadiums in the big east.

Im planning now for trips next year.

I'm picking Rutgers to "upset" SHU in the first round. Beyond that is anyone's guess.

UConn has a favorable draw, but we really are not a threat to Pitt.

I'm hoping for Seton Hall to beat Rutgers and St. Johns and face SYR. Hall will be exhausted after St. Johns and SYR should handle them after all the work they put in for two nights in a row.

I'd like to see SYR rematch with Louisville or ND for the BET title. Preferably Louisville. We already beat ND.

Louisville has to get past WVU first, froggie...

Who knows? Pitt is probably the safest pick.

Agreed. I think that Pitt will win the Big East Tournament.

Last year, the only team that won a double bye to win a game in the BET was WVU. The odds are against Pitt winning it all for that very reason. They're going to have to play an NCAA tourney caliber team that has a game to warm up, while they had to sit around watching and waiting. If Pitt's going to win the BET, they're going to have to work their butts off to earn it...

WVU is always a threat once the Big East Tournament rolls around.

That St Johns vs Syracuse would be a great atmosphere at the garden.

I don't think MSG has enough seats for that one...

My prediction: USF will lead Villanova at the 35 minute make and then lose by 9.........

The last 2 games were not easy. It took a miracle shot by Siva to defeat WVU in Louisville. The end game collapse in Morgantown was put into the books by one of the stupidest fouls ever committed. The Cards better bring their "A" game...

It is a crap shoot really but I am going mostly chalk.


#9 Connecticut over #16 DePaul
#12 Seton Hall over #13 Rutgers
#10 Villanova over #15 USF
#11 Marquette over #14 Providence

#9 Connecticut over #8 Georgetown
#5 St. Johns over #12 Seton Hall
#7 Cincinnati over #10 Villanova
#11 Marquette over #6 West Virginia

#1 Pittsburgh over #9 Connecticut
#4 Syracuse over #5 St. Johns
#2 Notre Dame over #7 Cincinnati
#3 Louisville over #11 Marquette

#1 Pittsburgh over #4 Syracuse
#3 Louisville over #2 Notre Dame

#1 Pittsburgh over #3 Louisville

my prediction is this will be an absolutely awesome five days and the best announcing crew in sports will be doing all of the primetime games (McDunough, Bilas, and the best in the business Bill Raftery).
