Providence should be rooting for UConn to beat Marquette I think. Otherwise I think UConn is playing hard to keep it's #1 seed in the east. I don't think Hurley would want to head to NYC with a 2 game losing streak.

Yeah if I am Providence I'd want UConn to beat Marquette and then perhaps let up a little to protect Clingan.

It still says 3/2/24 but bracketville has actually updated its seed list.

Back in the summer, in this very space, we suggested a major topic on Selection Sunday would be Rick Pitino and St. John's. Pitino was in the process of retooling the Red Storm roster, all with an eye toward getting the Johnnies back into the NCAA tournament conversation sooner than anyone had a right to expect. Several months and one apparently calculated tantrum later, here we are. Depending on your choice of bracketologist, St. John's is either just in or just out of the projected NCAA field. The Red Storm control their own destiny with two very winnable regular-season games plus the Big East tournament remaining. Victories over DePaul and Georgetown this week should be enough, and another at MSG the following week would certainly put them back in the tourney for the first time in five years. Who knew?
