NEW YORK – With two weekends left to play, two spots have been filled by the pair of teams in the top of the standings: St. John’s and Seton Hall. The Pirates clinched this weekend after taking two at Creighton to move to 10-2 in the conference. St. John’s had a BIG EAST bye, but remains in first place at 11-2. The two teams will square off in South Orange this weekend.
Moving up in the standings after this weekend was also Georgetown, who took third place after a sweep of Villanova at home. Butler stayed solid in the BIG EAST Championship field, should the season end today, at 6-5 and a home series win over Xavier.
