Top 5 matchups in BIG EAST history: A retrospective

In light of tonight's festivities, here's a look back at every Top 5 BIG EAST matchup in history.

On Wednesday night, the No. 1 Villanova Wildcats will take on the No. 5 Xavier Musketeers in Cincinnati in a Top 5 showdown set to bring all sorts of excitement to fans of BIG EAST hoops and the like.
