A team from the conference drops out, but another props up into the Top 10.
This week's USA TODAY Coaches Poll is a bit different from recent weeks as only three BIG EAST teams are featured in the Top 25. And on the flip side, those three BIG EAST teams are in the Top 10 of the poll.
The Villanova Wildcats, Xavier Musketeers and Providence Friars are the three representatives of the conference to be featured in the Top 10 of the Coaches Poll. The Butler Bulldogs, after an 0-2 week with a loss to Creighton and the aforementioned Friars, dropped out of the Top 25 and are currently ranked 30th with 15 votes received.
