Big East Tournament Preview, Finals: Villanova will face Seton Hall for the Championship

Villanova will look for a third win against Seton Hall in the Big East title game.

The Big East Tournament was all-chalk through today's first semifinal, but it's impossible to make it through Big East week in New York without at least one upset. The late semi-final didn't disappoint, with unranked Seton Hall knocking off fifth-ranked Xavier, 87-83.

Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard proved why he was named co-Coach of the Year in the league, as his Pirates upset a Xavier team that had been in contention for a 1-seed in the NCAA tournament. The Hall led by 11 at the half, and though the Musketeers chipped that lead down to four in the second half, they couldn't take back control.
