75% chance for Big East to get two number one seeds in the NCAA tourney, possibility for second #1 seed after Syracuse (a lock) is almost evenly split between Villanova and West Virginia.
If not Villanova or West Virginia, then the ACC gets a #1 with Duke (25%).
This according to playoffstatus.com.
Two #1 seeds in after getting three last year would be phenomenal.
I guess that dropping to only two #1 seeds confirms that this is a down year for the Big East ;)
Lets get a Big East national champion now.

I'd prob say 5% chance now. Cuse should be a lock, and if WVU wins the conf tourney maybe, but I see cuse as a 1, WVU as a 2, Nova as a 3, unless nova wins the BE tourney and gets a 2

Are we allowed to nominate ourselves?
To paint a picture opposite of the fictional doomsday scenario we had going earlier, we play the winner of the 12th and 13th place teams in a 16 team conference on Wednesday. We beat both teams on the road already. We haven't lost away from home in a long time. Neither of our potential opponents is playing well, and both teams have to win five games in five days to have any purpose this season, so delusion is their only motivation. One has lost three straight, each must-win games for their tournament chances. The other lost three straight before needing triple OT to defeat DePaul. And if we win we play Nova, a team that would be below us in the standings if one bounce of the ball went differently in either of our games back in January, a team who hasn't beaten Cuse, WVU, or Pitt either, and a team that hasn't been winning much lately. Golden opportunity to have some fun next week, so hopefully we play hungrier than we did today.
