It seems relatively clear at this stage that the Big East title will go through Villanova and Xavier, the two programs with the highest pedigree and the most success in the new iteration of the Big East conference. They’ll play Wednesday under a national spotlight, bringing as much attention to the conference that it will get all season.
But Seton Hall’s 90-87 win over Butler was as star-studded an affair a Big East fan could hope for.
Butler was outscored by three, but Seton Hall center Angel Delgado outscored Butler forward Kelan Martin by just a point.
