The Big East has produced some of the most exciting games in men's college basketball all season.
That is expected to carry on at Madison Square Garden during the Big East tournament, where the Villanova Wildcats, Seton Hall Pirates and Creighton Bluejays enter as favorites.
The three teams split the regular-season title, with Creighton earning the No. 1 seed off tiebreakers.
Villanova and Seton Hall reside on the same side of the bracket, but Creighton is not out of the clear since it has to play either the Butler Bulldogs or Providence Friars if it advances to the semifinals.
