Every Conference Tournament Result: Big East Ranks 5th Despite Nova Title Hope

While the Big East seeks a second National Title in three years, the conference had a slightly disappointing tournament with some near misses - finishing almost even with the Big Ten but behind the ACC, SEC and Big 12 in overall play.

After the season I match each conferences #1 team against the #1 team in the other 31 conferences, then the #2 team against the other #2s etc. to get a composite record for each conference from top to bottom. The "winner" is determined as the team that had the better tournament with teams getting a credit for 1.0 for each line in March Madness, 0.4 for each NIT line (yes, NIT Champ Penn State gets more credit than a team that won one NCAA game), and less for each CBI or CIT line.

Obviously, a team like Maryland that did not go to a tournament is better than CBI and CIT teams, which only invite Mid-Majors, but this really doesn't matter in scoring because as the 7th place team in the Big Ten they "win" all their match-ups with smaller conferences 7th best teams. If teams are tied in their tournament success or neither on went to a tournament, then the team's www.kenpom.com ratings determine the "winner."

Marquette gets 1.2 credit for being on three NIT lines, which puts them slightly ahead of Providence and Creighton with a 1.0 for making the NCAA tournament but not winning a game. That gives Marquette the 5th best tournament success in the Big East, and when matched up against the 5th most successful teams from the other conferences they go 28-3 with losses only to UNC of the ACC, Ohio State of the Big Ten and Auburn of the SEC.

That is part of a composite 267-33 projected "record" for a .890 winning percentage that ranks behind only the ACC (327-10, .970), Big 12 (282-18, .940), SEC (314-23, .932) and just behind the Big Ten (301-36, .893). Here is the breakdown and tournament history for every team by conference.
