Each team in the league has one game left to play.
| Tues., Mar. 9 | Wed., Mar. 10 | Thurs., Mar 11 | Fri., Mar 12 | Sat.,Mar 13 |
| Noon 9) South Florida 16) Depaul |
Noon 8) Georgetown |
Noon 1) Syracuse |
Semifinals, 7pm, 9pm | Finals, 7pm |
| 2 pm 12) Connecticut 13) Rutgers |
2 pm 5) Marquette |
2 pm 4) West Virginia |
||
| 7 pm 10) Seton Hall 15) Providence |
7 pm 7) Notre Dame |
7 pm 2) Villanova |
||
| 9 pm 11) Cincinnati 14) St. John's |
9 pm 6) Louisville |
9 pm 3) Pittsburgh |
Notes:
--West Virginia and Pitt are tied for third at 12-5. They split their head-to-head meetings, but the Panthers earn the three seed by virtue of their victory over regular season champ Syracuse.
--Louisville can finish no better than sixth and no worse than seventh (night game!). The only way U of L can be the seventh seed is if they lose to Syracuse, Georgetown beats Cincinnati and Notre Dame loses to Marquette. If the Irish and Hoyas both win and Louisville loses, all three are 1-1 in the three-team mini-conference, so the Cards' victory over Syracuse would earn them the six seed.
--South Florida owns the head-to-head tiebreaker with Seton Hall for ninth-place.
--Cincinnati swept Connecticut and therefore owns the head-to-head tiebreaker for 11th-place.
--Rutgers owns the head-to-head tiebreaker with St. John's for 13th-place.

Crazy
So crazy. Somehow UConn has moved DOWN in seeding and therefore our games seem to get easier. Also, functionally there is no difference between a 6 and 7 seed, obviously I would love to beat Syracuse and get the 6, but in terms of a solid chance to win 1 game in NYC, it seems like I’d rather play the Seton Hall v. Provo winner than St. John’s Cinci.
Although, other than Providence, all four of those teams make me uneasy for various reasons.
Who knows.
I love this conference. Every game can go either way! Except when DePaul plays. Oh, wait…
Are we doing the BET bracket again? I think the winner should get caramel corn.
Pitt again
Why do we have to play Pitt every f’ing year?
A pretty good send-off

ESPN sends off Freedom Hall in style
Update
Correct me if Im wrong…
Cincy and UConn both lost today, and Cincinnati earns the 11 seed by virtue of having swept UConn in the regular season.
Rutgers lost today, dropping them to 14th place at 5-13 (St. John’s beat DePaul last night to go to 6-12).
Marquette lost and we won, so we’re tied for 5th place; Marquette still gets the 5 seed, having beaten us heads-up.
Louisville gets the 6 seed and will play the winner of Cincinnati vs. Rutgers.
