Marquette women’s basketball tips off their season tonight against Longwood, so now seems like as good of a time as ever to take a look at where each team in the BIG EAST stands.
In short, the BIG EAST will likely be a two-bid conference, three at the most. The conference is nowhere near as strong in women’s basketball as it is in men’s. DePaul is the only nationally relevant team at the moment; they’ve made two straight Sweet 16s. Creighton will probably make the NCAA tournament, Marquette and Villanova are more likely to make the NIT, Georgetown might make the NIT and everybody else will be lucky to post a winning percentage above .
