2010 Big East Conference Tournament: Quarterfinals Preview
March 11th 2010 17:33
Georgetown vs. Syracuse: Georgetown pounded USF yesterday, but they lost both of their previous matchups with Syracuse this season. Freeman has to play well for them to avoid a third loss. Whether or not Syracuse wins this game, they are headed for a #1 seed in the Big Dance. That being said, Syracuse is better than Georgetown in just about every facet of the game, and should be able to pull of a win this afternoon. Prediction: Syracuse (70%) over Georgetown
Marquette vs. Villanova: Marquette lost to Villanova twice this season by a combined score of 4 points, so these are two evenly-matched teams. Butler will have to be a bigger factor for Marquette to win this game. Ultimately, Scottie Reynolds is the biggest star out on that court, and he will make sure that Villanova advances. However, it will be close. Prediction: Villanova (55%) over Marquette
Notre Dame vs. Pittsburgh: Notre Dame embarrassed Pittsburgh toward the end of the season, even without Harangody active. With the extra days of rest and the best coach in the Big East, Jamie Dixon, Pittsburgh will be able to shutdown Notre Dame this time around. Regardless, Harangody looked unstoppable last night and almost all of Pitt's games are close, so this one will come down to the waning seconds. Prediction: Pittsburgh (51%) over Notre Dame
Cincinnati vs. West Virginia: Do we even have to bother WVU to play this game? West Virginia is so much better than Cincy that they should get the night off. Time for the Semifinals... Prediction: West Virginia (100%) over Cincinnati
