Georgetown wins but if they get behind to Marquette or Louisville they find it harder than any of the other teams to play catchup. The Georgetown-Marquette game on Saturday should go far in determining the 4 byes. GTown-Louisville will probably be for the title if the Hoyas can beat the Eagles. Although SU is always tough at home, Marquette is going to go into the dome on a serious mission if they are successful vs. the Hoyas. Five teams...... four byes....... interesting!

There was a stretch early in the BE schedule when they struggled, and they've played a bit under the radar since, particularly from the national perspective. Oddly, it might be G-Town who is most vulnerable now. Their schedule lends itself to a sudden drop to 5th more than the others. Absolutely Marq. should be included.

If they lose one, ND needs to win two and UConn one to get the byes. Although they have a tough one with GTown at home, they are, along with Louisville the hottest team in the Big East right now.

However I think you needed to add the fifth team in the mix. Marquette. They have two remaining big East games. Georgetown at home and Syracuse away. Both of which will be hard games. I don’t see them winning both of these games going out which takes the pressure off the top four teams. Very good analysis on the remaining games for the top four teams.
