Best case, worst case scenarios for Big East Tournament

The No. 3 Wildcats have a lot riding on the Big East Tournament this upcoming weekend in New York City. Entering the conference tournament as favorites for a third straight season, the Wildcats are looking to capture back-to-back Big East Tournament championships at Madison Square Garden.

With a first round bye, the ’Cats will begin their title defense Thursday afternoon at noon against the winner of DePaul-Georgetown on Wednesday evening. However, with four other Big East schools likely moving on to the Big Dance along with Villanova, the task will not be an easy one for the Wildcats.
