Big East Bracketology Update 2/25/15

Joe Lunardi is now apparently releasing Wednesday brackets now. I believe he plans on released updated brackets every single day during the final week of the season. The Big East still has 6 teams in the field though there has been some movement along the seed lines.

Here is a breakdown of Lunardi’s latest bracket:

  • Villanova – #2 seed in East vs. #15 William & Mary – AQ for Big East
  • Butler – #6 seed in Midwest vs. #11 Temple
  • Georgetown – #6 seed in South vs. #11 Purdue
  • Providence – #7 seed in West vs. #10 Iowa
  • Xavier – #8 seed in Midwest vs. #9 NC State
  • St. John’s – #9 seed in Midwest vs. #7 San Diego St

St. John’s moved from 12 seed last Thursday to a 10 seed on Monday and they are now a 9 seed in today’s latest bracket release. Georgetown moved up a line from 7 to 6 and Providence moved down a line from 6 to 7. Villanova, Butler and Xavier stayed on the same lines. One interesting tidbit about the Duke/Virginia Tech game tonight is that Lunardi believes Villanova would slide up to the 1 seed if the Blue Devils get knocked off by Buzz Williams’ Hokies.

The 2015 Bracket Matrix

BracketMatrix.com is a very informative site and I think it adds value to the bracketology discussion so I’ll be featuring a section in these bracketology updates with information like average seed, number of brackets Providence appears in and a few other things. The appeal of BracketMatrix.com is that they are sort of like a composite bracket.

  • Bracket Matrix Average Seed for Providence: 6.24
  • Numbers of Brackets Providence appears in: 93/93
  • Best Seed: 3
  • Worst Seed: 9
