The one thing you need to know about every big conference

We're less than three weeks from Selection Sunday. And we've resolved nothing.

The preliminary grouping of No. 1 seeds (Gonzaga, Kansas, Villanova, Baylor) revealed by the selection committee on Feb. 11? Well, the folks in Waco, Texas, aren't exactly too confident they'll stick. The S.S. Duke Doomsday that sailed toward an iceberg a few weeks ago? It's a Caribbean cruise ship now. And Lonzo Ball isn't Steph Curry, no matter what his father says, but he could lead UCLA to the national title a year after the Bruins missed the NCAA tournament.

Here's what else you need to know about every conference with the end of league play approaching. What's the most important thing happening in every league?

Big East
Marquette marching toward an at-large berth



On Saturday, Steve Wojciechowski's Marquette team crushed Xavier by 22 points in a must-win game for its NCAA tournament aspirations. The Golden Eagles are 7-7 in the strong Big East. Their next four games (St. John's, Providence, Xavier, Creighton) could solidify or ruin their at-large chances.

But this is a gutsy squad with wins over Creighton, Villanova and Xavier. So Wojciechowski's team could earn a trip to the NCAA tournament just two years after winning 13 games in his debut campaign.
