Villanova 36 Butler 32 at the half. Speaking of a Philly school, Temple won at UConn in overtime. Should help out Villanova in the RPI.

Sorry for the OT post, but the AAC looks like a 2-bid league right now.

I'd say 3 most likely. Temple has the OOC win over Kansas and should be fine. Cincy has good wins over San Diego St and NC State. SMU should get up to 24 or 25 wins and that should get them in. Heck, Tulsa has the win over Creighton which could serve them ok. 1-2 teams in there are going to have 15 conference wins, plus another couple in the tourney. That's going to get them up to 25-26 wins. That gets in.

UConn in some serious trouble. 6-5 right now- and with 2 games left with Cincy, SMU, Memphis, and even Tulsa- and last game at Temple- not going to be easy.

Home court may very well be the deciding factor in a lot of big east games this year. It was great to see a big crowd at SHU they were really making some noise

That's close to a sell out for Seton Hall since they don't open the upper levels

Butler is really struggling from outside and is now down 15 to Nova.

Ochefu taking over much of this 2nd half. Did someone say something about Delgado being the most complete big man in the league? Mr Ochefu respectfully disagrees.

Yes indeed. If Ochefu continues to play at this level he will be in the mix for First Team All-Big East.

Villanova defeats Butler 67-55. The score was closer than the game was, though. Nova really controlled the entire game. Butler couldn't hit the water if it was shooting out of a boat.

Just heard that DePaul is going to be without Tommy Hamilton today.

Villanova was not hitting their shots today, especially from the free throw line, but they played very well, especially on defense. I think Butler has a good squad and played well today. I just think Villanova is very, very good this year. Just a lot of weapons. Had 4 guys in double digits today.
