The Villanova Wildcats will try to reclaim the Big East tournament throne that has been theirs for most of the last decade on Saturday night.
Villanova has four Big East tournament titles dating back to 2015 and it will play in its first final at Madison Square Garden in three seasons against the Creighton Bluejays.
Creighton is a repeat finalist in New York. The Bluejays are hoping for a much different fate than 12 months ago, when they were blown out by the Georgetown Hoyas.
Greg McDermott's team reached the Big East tournament final on three occasions since 2014, but it has not been able to complete the task in New York.
