For the time being, we're tied for first, but Villanova is ahead in the loss column. Their WP% will have them listed first, but a zero game difference is zero games. Because at the end of the season everyone plays the same number of games, so until you get there, a zero game difference is a tie.
Games back is not an official thing.  It is an invention of newspapers to help make sense of the standings.  We are in second place.  Winning percentage is all that matters.

Yeah. This is where it is weird. We were a half game back going into today. We won.

I think everyone would also agree that if Nova loses tomorrow we'd be in first place by virtue of having 1 more win. So if that's the case, then we're tied right now.

But I go by winning percentage, so we're in 2nd.

If Nova loses tomorrow they will be in second place because they will have the 2nd best winning percentage in the BE.

As of tonight they are in first place.

Did not realize that we’ve won 15 out of the last 16 games.. this is a special special team and I’m glad we finally get to see Wojo prove everyone wrong, including me.

Thanks, St. John’s!

Technically we are number one now since we are tied with Niva and beat them.

We are most assuredly not currently #1.

Even if we beat Butler on Wednesday, there's a good chance we won't be #1 as Villanova is at Georgetown before our game tips, so a 'Nova win would put them at 12-2 while the best we could be that night is 11-2. If we win our next two, however, we will definitely be #1 (for at least a day).

I like to celebrate every step on the journey, but I'll really celebrate if we are the unquestioned #1 in the BEast at about 11:30 p.m. Eastern time on Feb. 27.

Ah crap. Didn’t realize they had an extra win.  Thought we were both 10-2.
