The Big East regular season is going to be chaotic as four of the 11 teams could win this league. Creighton is the slight favorite over Villanova as the Bluejays are ready to welcome their best team in school history.
UConn and Xavier are also expected to make some noise as they are both right there with less than 6/1 odds to win the conference.
St. John’s, Seton Hall, and Marquette could be dangerous and will upset some of the top teams, but it would be a surprise to see them make any noise come March.
In the national championship picture, Creighton is the highest Big East team (10th) and Villanova (17th) is the only other conference member in the top 20.

Big East Conference History
The first Big East Men’s Basketball Tournament took place in 1980. Since then, the conference has gone through many changes with the most notable one coming a few years ago when it was split into the “new” Big East and the AAC. As it stands, the Big East has 11 teams in it who play a regular-season schedule before competing in the Big East Men’s Basketball Tournament.
As with the other conference tournaments, the winner of the Big East tournament wins their spot in the NCAA Division 1 Men’s Basketball tournament. Georgetown and UConn pace the Big East with seven championships each while Villanova has five.
The Big East is going to have a fun regular season, but it remains to be seen if they can get their first national championship since Villanova in 2018.
