I want us to keep track of how the Big East teams perform in this year's tournament, to see if the cliche criticism of underperforming Big East teams holds true this year. I've calculated how many games Big East teams are SEEDED to win.
 
Wins thru Sunday @ 8 PM
Big East: 14
Big Ten: 11
Big 12: 9
SEC: 8
ACC: 6

#3 Marquette: 2
#3 Georgetown: 2
#4 Louisville: 2
#6 Cincinnati: 1
#7 Notre Dame: 1
#9 Connecticut: 0
#10 West Virginia: 0
#12 South Florida: 0.5
