For once, the bubble teams came through as underdogs and made some great improvements to their chances.  Cinci and USF have had spotty at best resumes, greatly improved by their wins today.
 
Cinci beating Marquette earns them a top10 RPI victory and puts them firmly into the dance.  Losing to both Nova and their first round BET game could knock them out, but for now they are definitely in, as their RPI will pop a bunch with this win, and it puts them at 11 Big East wins.  Their bad losses still hurt, as does their RPI, but they gave themselves a huge boost today.
 
USF was already probably in, because of their high SOS and decent RPI.  However, they needed this very good win on the road to lead their resume.  They are definitely in if they can beat West Virginia in their season finale, but I think they probably could lose to WVU and go 1-1 in the BET and still get a low seed in the NCAA Tournament.
 
Great in conference day for the Big East.  That said, who cares about their long term prospects?  This years performance means money in our pockets for our continued performance as every game the Big East plays counts as a share of the huge money maker that is the Big Dance.  After next year, a lousy Big East is to our advantage, but til then, we need to cheer for our current conference's performance.
