The Big East Tournament would seem to belong to Villanova or Marquette this season.
It's not that the Wildcats and Golden Eagles have been so dominant this year, but the rest of the Big East teams has not been able to establish any kind of winning consistency during the regular season.
Villanova clinched the Big East title with a 13-5 conference record, one game better than the 12-6 Golden Eagles.
After the two leaders, Georgetown, Seton Hall, Xavier and Creighton all tied for third place at 9-9.
The Hoyas and the Pirates come into the conference tournament with momentum, having beaten Marquette and Villanova, respectively, in their final regular-season games Saturday.
