Xavier may have lost 1-seed, but helps Big East

In a head-spinning basketball season where no lead, ranking or Bracketology seems safe, Xavier may have made the most dizzying move of all.

At 4:45 on Saturday afternoon, after Texas beat Oklahoma, Joe Lunardi swapped the Sooners out of the 1-seed spot in favor of Xavier.

The Musketeers’ tenure at the top won't last 24 hours.

At 2:40 on Sunday afternoon, Seton Hall put the finishing touches on a 90-81 thumping of the Musketeers, virtually guaranteeing a slide down the seed line for Xavier and more confusion in an already befuddling season (anyone interested in filling out my top 25 bracket, please shoot me an email).
