Geo/PC- huge chance for Georgetown to get a big win. But for PC- they need to right the ship. Next 2 with X and SH on the road.
X/Butler- while folks here I think would say a big one for Butler- I think it's a big one for Xavier quite frankly. Not for getting in the tourney- but getting a good seed in the tourney. Butler should be safe IMO if they win out at home after this....
Creighton/Marquette- Big one for Creighton- to me any chance of them getting in tourney they need this one. For Marquette for them to remain top 100, they need this one.
SJ/Nova- the battles here on the board are more competitive than this game will be.

largest spread in BIG EAST history at -27 this weekend in Philly. I think they cover, unless they put the walk ons in with 5 minutes to play.
