Starting next week, every game will be win or go home. On Saturday, Marquette and Butler will get a taste of that pressure with different yet important stakes.
The Nos. 4-8 seeds of the Big East tournament remain up in the air heading into the final day of the regular season Saturday. Four teams, including Marquette and Butler, which play at 1:30 p.m. at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, can finish as high as fourth.
There are numerous ways the standings can shake out based on tiebreaking procedures, but for the Golden Eagles (19-11, 8-9 Big East) and Bulldogs (20-9, 9-8) the bottom line is quite clear.
