The March Madness action begins to crescendo this week as the Big East prepares for its annual college women’s basketball tournament starting on Friday in Uncasville, Connecticut. If you are looking to get in on some of the hottest live action the sport has to offer, you have come to the right place.
The conference is led by a top-10 team, the UConn Huskies, who put up a perfect 18-0 record against fellow Big East schools which gave them a three-game cushion in the final standings. Only the Creighton Bluejays came close with their 15-3 finish, but the rest of the conference lagged far behind the top perch.
Speaking of which, the other end of the spectrum was inhabited by the Xavier Musketeers, whose 0-18 finish provides the yang to UConn’s yin. The league was also split evenly, with five teams finishing both above and below .500 and the 11th member school sitting at an even 9-9.
