Despite a big weekend and leading up to the last week of the Big East regular season, I will unfortunately have to be short with my update today. I came home to Pittsburgh for the weekend and I don’t have all of my paperwork, so this will be as good as I can do until I get back to Maryland on Tuesday night. The standings and seedings are accurate based on the Big East tiebreaker system, however I did not update the “clinched“ teams because I wanted to be certain of them before I put it on here.
