  Looking at the Big East before we take a break here, Yukon Creighton one
• 0:04
  two likely would be the championship game. We don't count up Marquette, Saint
• 0:08
  John's out of New York, Villanova seat in the hall, and then you
• 0:11
  know, we get down to Providence as well. How deep is this league
• 0:15
  this year? How many teams you project possibly would get in? I mean,
• 0:18
  obviously Yukon of Creighton, Marquette likely in. Yeah, it's a deep
• 0:23
  league. It's a good league, but certainly top heavy, with Yukon,
• 0:26
  you know, being right now number two in my power rating. Creighton,
• 0:30
  Marquette, Saint John's all really good teams, but Yukon is definitely the class.
• 0:35
  If I go back to my overall power ratings here to see kind of
• 0:38
  where I have these other teams, I do have Creighton as the number ten
• 0:41
  team in the country by my power ratings. Marquette for me is number thirteen.
• 0:46
  Villanova They're currently in Joe Lenardi's first four out, so Villanova might need
• 0:51
  to win a game or two more than they'd like here in the Big East
• 0:55
  tournament to feel good about themselves here on Selection Sunday, But I have Villanova
• 0:59
  as a top team in the power ratings. So this is a deep league,
• 1:03
  a strong league. Yukon certainly the class of it, with a fifty
• 1:06
  four percent chance to win the Big East Championship here this weekend. But I
• 1:11
  would I would go all the way down to Villanova for the teams that I
• 1:14
  really think do have a chance Yukon, Creighton, Marquette, Saint John's,
• 1:17
  Villanova. That's kind of the dividing line. Below that you do have Seaton
• 1:21
  Hall, who is the number four seed already in the quarterfinals, but from
• 1:23
  the power ratings standpoint, not the strongest team, kind of like Virginia,
• 1:27
  really really good team play, played really well on one end of the floor,
• 1:32
  but the power ratings aren't quite convinced that they are the cream of the
• 1:34
  crop within this conference.
