The BIG EAST Gets Its Seven NCAA Bids

Well, the BIG EAST landed seven bids in the NCAA Tournament after all – even if Xavier coach Chris Mack most likely needed an entire pack of Tums to get through the Selection Show.

Villanova opened the show by landing the overall No. 1 seed, but the Musketeers were the very last name called on the day when they were placed in the West Region. It’s all right to exhale now, Musketeers.

Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard was much happier with his Pirates draw and site this season as opposed to last year when The Hall was shipped to Denver to take on Gonzaga.
