Big East Conference Rundown

Buckle up as the Big East’s top teams will look to keep on winning  There are just 1½ games separating the top four teams at the top of the conference standings. No. 17 Providence and 22nd-ranked Marquette are part of that tightly bunched group and they are scheduled to meet on Sunday.

No. 14 Villanova, No. 20 UConn and No. 21 Xavier will also be in action in what could be a fun weekend in the conference.

Villanova (-170) is the heavy favorite to win the Big East title followed by Providence (+300) and UConn (+500). If Marquette beats Providence on Sunday to extend its seven-game winning streak, look for the Golden Eagles’ odds to improve from +1500.
