Big East Tournament Weekend

From Wednesday to Sunday of this week the mens college basketball conference tournaments will be held. The conference in this part of the country is the Big East. This is the conference which St. John's is in however, they did not qualify for the tournament. The twelve best teams in each conference make the tournament. The four best teams have a first round bye. These games will all be played at Madison Square Garden. Here are a breakdowns of the seeds:
No. 1 Georgetown No. 7 Pittsburgh
no. 2 Louisville No. 8 Villanova
No. 3 Notre Dame No. 9 Syracuse
No. 4 Connecticut No. 10 Cincinnati
No. 5 West Virginia No. 11 Seton Hall
No. 6 Marquette No. 12 Providence
I expect the tournament to be a great one. I believe that Georgetown is the best team and will win the tournament. However, teams like Louisville, Uconn, and West Virginia are very strong teams. Also many teams need a strong performance in this tournament in order to get a bid in the NCAA tournament.
