Your top four teams in the Big East men's basketball standings right now: Villanova, Xavier, Creighton, and Georgetown. Didn't see that particular grouping coming after five or six games when league play kicked off in late December, did you? Providence and Butler have scuffled in the early goings, so even though they were knocking around the top 10 in the AP poll, they can't claim one of those top four spots in the league right now. Luckily for us, they actually play each other this week....
Tuesday, January 19, 2016: #18 Butler at #16 Providence (5:30pm Central, FS1) - If you expected these two teams to be a combined 5-5 in league play at this point, you are one negative Nancy.
