The Villanova Wildcats are heading to the Big East tournament championship for the fifth straight year. They'll face a repeat program for the first time, however.
Behind a 22-point effort from Myles Powell, the Seton Hall Pirates clipped the Marquette Golden Eagles 81-79. Seton Hall last appeared in the Big East final three years ago.
The Pirates' victory followed a dramatic overtime win for Villanova. Jay Wright's club overcame a seven-point deficit to Xavier during the last five minutes of the second half to force an extra period, and the Wildcats ultimately pulled out a 71-67 win.
