The Big East Tournament marches on. We now know two of the four teams who’ll play in the semifinals Friday.
The top-seeded Providence Friars defeated the Butler Bulldogs on Thursday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. In yet another Providence thriller, the Friars outlasted the Bulldogs in a 65-61 victory. Creighton on the other hand defeated Marquette 74-63 in the second game of the day. The game had little interruption for the Jays, who remain red-hot right now, as they’ve lost just three times since February 1.
This marks the fourth time Providence and Creighton have met in the Big East Tournament.
