The Pittsburgh Panthers are the clear #1 in the Big East Tournament Bracket, but they will face some tough comp.
On March 8 through March 12, 2011 the Big East Tourney will take place in New York at the famous Madison Square Garden.
To round out the top four seeds is Louisville, Syracuse and Notre Dame.
In the recent AP poll, Notre Dame rose to #4 just behind Pitt at #3. Ohio State and Kansas are #1 & #2 with Duke rounding out the top 5.
This is Notre Dame’s highest ranking since 1980. On many other ballots the Kansas Jayhawks came in at #1.
Here are the match ups in the first round of the Big East tourney:
Game 1: #9 Connecticut vs. #16 De Paul
Game 2: #12 Seton Hall vs. #13 Rutgers
Game 3: #10 Villanova vs. #15 USF
