As the Seton Hall women’s basketball team heads into the last weekend of the regular season with a game against Xavier on Feb. 28 and one against Butler on March 1, the race in the Big East is as tight as ever.
Currently, there are five teams placed third through seventh that are within two games grasp of one another as the season comes to a close. Even the second place team, Marquette, despite being out of range of Seton Hall, is a half of a game up on Butler and one-and-a-half games up on Villanova. The conference is in a near deadlock, and the all-important seeding for the Big East Tournament in Chicago can still be altered.
