College Basketball Big East Tournament Round 2 Schedule Wednesday: NCAA Tournament Berths Could be on the Line for Marquette, Notre Dame

The Big East conference could put nine teams into the NCAA tournament but there is still work to be done for at least two of those teams. While many have Marquette and Notre Dame in the field of 65 both schools would like to eliminate any doubt with a win on Wednesday.

 

Both Marquette and Notre Dame will take the court later in the day as Georgetown gets things started when they face South Florida at noon. The Hoyas are considered a lock for the NCAA tournament while the Bulls need a win to keep their hopes alive. If South Florida can make a deep run in the Big East tournament they could snag an at-large bid.

 

Marquette and St. John’s will follow at 2:00 p.m. ET and while the Golden Eagles have put together an impressive resume they would love to get at least one win in the Big East tournament. That might not be as easy as they like as they take on a Red Storm team that punished UConn on Tuesday.

 

At 7:00 p.m. ET Notre Dame will face Seton Hall with a shot at sealing an NCAA bid and a bit of revenge. The Pirate knocked off the Irish in their only matchup of the regular season, a loss that started a three-game slide for Notre Dame that nearly cost them any NCAA tournament hopes. The Irish have rattled off four straight wins but the Pirates looked offensively sound on Tuesday night in their win over Providence.

 

Round 2 of the Big East conference tournament will wrap up with Louisville facing Cincinnati at 9:00 p.m. ET in what could be an exciting showdown. The Cardinals are a lock for the NCAA tournament with a pair of wins over Syracuse but they have been inconsistent throughout the year and it will be a matter of who shows up on Wednesday night. As for the Bearcats, a miracle run through the Big East tournament is the only way they’ll dance but a 2-7 mark to close their regular season isn’t any indicator that they’re ready for such a run.
