Following any conference’s opening weekend, at least a few losses would be expected among the pool of teams, and yet, the Georgetown Bulldogs are the only Big East men’s basketball team that has suffered a defeat. This seems to be a result of a combination of one-sided matchups and dominant performances.
Currently, the AP’s NCAA men’s basketball rankings list Villanova (3), Xavier (11) and Creighton (22) among the top 25, with Seton Hall falling just short. Clearly, the Big East is a powerful division, and looking at some of the margins of victory from this past weekend, it appears that at least a few teams will pick up where they left off after strong finishes in the 2015-2016 season.
