What a weird and wacky world we live in. Xavier, who won 3 conference games in 2015, is your 2016 BIG EAST baseball champion. Creighton, who was the odds-on favorite to win the conference, who holds the highest RPI in conference, and appears to be a lock for an at-large bid even if they don't get the AQ by winning the BIG EAST tournament, came in second place.
Seton Hall and St. John's exist in the bottom tier of the bracket, placing in third and fourth in conference after tussling and toiling with Butler, Villanova, and Georgetown.
