Four days ago, with the entire league 0-0, Bart Torvik crunched the numbers on who might win the Big East. Villanova, as one would expect, sat atop the pile with a 54% chance of claiming a share of the title and nearly a 40% chance of winning the league outright. Xavier was second at 38%/24%, and UConn and Seton Hall sat just behind, poised to join a four-horse race for the top spot.
One game into league play, it has all been throw into chaos.
Creighton and Providence moved to 1-0 at the somewhat shocking expense of Villanova and UConn, respectively.
