X has 7 games. Away @Butler, @Marquette, @Seton Hall, and @Providence while they have home games against DePaul, Villanova, and Butler
Team rankings say X goes 5-2 with Marquette and Providence the projected losses.

The teams with only 3 losses are

Marquette has 6 games left Away games @Georgetown, @ Creighton, @ Butler while their home games are Xavier, Depaul and St Johns

Creighton has away games @ Seton Hall tonight which they are winning by 13 and closing the game on a 22-7 run, @ Providence, @ St Johns, @Villanova, and @ DePaul with home games UConn, Marquette and Georgetown

Providence has away games @St Johns, @Uconn and @Georgetown with home games against Georgetown which they are playing tonight and leading by 8, Creighton, Villanova, Xavier and Seton Hall

Looking at the games, it looks like Creighton might have the easier schedule

Does anyone want to take the time to predict how the Big East looks going into the big east tourney?

My best projection is a 3-way tie between Creighton, X & Marquette..... that will be wild

are we talking coin flip for the 1 seed?

I was thinking Creighton had the most difficult schedule? That being said, I would project 1 loss for all 3 teams competing with X for 1st.

If X was at full strength, I'd go with X winning the conference with only 1 more loss. That is still possible but more difficult. More likely we drop 2. Hopefully we don't lose more than 2. Margin for error going 6 deep is problematic.
