The Sun’s Arizin: Updating Villanova Basketball’s Big East Title Chase

Happy Thursday Nova Nation. Heck of a late night to stay up for a loss, but we say ATTITUDE and move on. Villanova’s second loss to Marquette on the season drops them to 9-3 in conference play, still in second place behind Providence in the Big East Title race.

We’ve already established that there is no way all of the “postponed” games are getting made up, which means that teams like Providence, UConn, Xavier, and Creighton will all finish with fewer games played than Nova. This means two things for the title race:

  1. The Conference Champion will likely be decided by Win%
  2. It’s most likely that the team with the fewest losses will be Big East Champions

That’s right, even a share of the title is unlikely given the uneven scheduling.
