The 2018 Big East men's basketball tournament will be held from March 7-10 at Madison Square Garden in New York and should be one of the most competitive tournaments in all of college basketball.
The conference features just two teams ranked in the top 25, albeit top-five programs in Villanova (No. 3) and Xavier (No. 4). The rest of the Big East is filled with teams capable of knocking off any opponent.
MARCH MADNESS: Get ready for Selection Sunday
Seton Hall and Creighton have both been ranked throughout the year and teams like Butler and Providence have taken down several ranked opponents and taken others to the wire. Then there's St. John's, which defeated Duke and Villanova despite ranking last in the Big East.
With a conference full of talented players like Jalen Brunson (Villanova), Trevon Bluiett (Xavier), Markus Howard (Marquette) and Shamorie Ponds (St. John's) capable of taking over a game, and the way conference rivals have beaten up on each other, the Big East tournament should be fun to watch; you can live stream all the action at fuboTV (free 7-day trial).
