- After suffering an upset loss to Providence, the Connecticut Huskies took out their frustration on the Cincinnati Bearcats, demolishing them 96-51. The Huskies, who had already been locked into fourth place, used a 30-0 run to blow out Cincinnati, who now sit in tenth place in the Big East. The game was originally scheduled for Saturday, but a bad snowstorm prevented the Bearcats from traveling to Connecticut, and the game was rescheduled for Sunday.
- The Syracuse Orange will face the Villanova Wildcats in a game with serious post-season implications. Both teams are fighting for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, and it is unlikely that both will get in. As a result, the game is of utmost importance to the two sides in order to keep their tournament hopes alive. That game is scheduled for 12:00 PM on Wednesday, with the winner taking on Georgetown on Thursday at the same time.
- Four teams failed to qualify for the Big East Tournament. Only the top 12 teams make it into the conference tournament, meaning that Rutgers, South Florida, DePaul, and St. John’s will all be at home watching the rest of the Big East battle for the tournament title. However, the system has changed for the next season, to ensure that all 16 teams will compete for the Big East title in 2009.
