Villanova and Butler seem destined to meet in the Big East championship this season, but eight other teams have other plans.
The Wildcats have followed up last year's national championship with a 28-3 record this season, losing to Butler twice and Marquette once.
In addition to two wins over Villanova, Butler has an impressive nonconference resume that includes victories over Arizona, Cincinnati, Northwestern and Vanderbilt.
Will anyone take one of these teams down in Madison Square Garden?
Here's a look at the tournament schedule, the bracket, the latest odds and some predictions.
