Hope was high when the BIG EAST landed six teams in the NCAA Tournament on Selection Sunday last week. But at the end of play on the tournament’s first weekend, only Villanova remains in the hunt for the National Championship.
The Wildcats, the number one seed in the East Region, posted a pair of lopsided wins over No. 16 Radford and No. 9 Alabama as they put on quite the shooting show from three-point range
Xavier, Seton Hall and Butler were the other BIG EAST teams to post first-round wins in the tournament while Creighton and Providence were one-and-dones in their games versus Kansas State and Texas A&M, respectively.
