Big East teams on the bubble
 
ESPN.com

 
NOTRE DAME (18-14 overall, 8-8 in Big East)
Positives Negatives Analysis
  • Swept UConn
  • Beat Ohio State, St. John's
  • .500 in league
  • Lost to Providence, Pittsburgh
  • Borderline RPI
  • What will matter more, the marquee wins or the head-scratching losses? Beating Miami in the quarters would have eliminated a lot of doubt; alas, the Irish fell short.

    VILLANOVA (19-12 overall, 8-8 in Big East)
    Positives Negatives Analysis
  • RPI in 30s
  • Great strength of schedule
  • Split with Seton Hall
  • .500 in league
  • Lost to Pittsburgh, Boston College
  • No marquee wins
  • 'Nova couldn't capitalize on Notre Dame's loss earlier Thursday. Now both face a three-day waiting game.
