Big East Conference Tournament Best Bets

No. 6 Villanova to defeat No. 11 Georgetown

No. 11 Georgetown is 1-11 in its past 12 games played. As for No. 6 Villanova, the Wildcats are 6-4 in their last 10 contests. The Hoyas are winless in their previous three matchups against Villanova as well. But it’s not hopeless for Georgetown. During the regular season, Villanova went 1-3 in games played at a neutral site.

Having said that, the Hoyas have not defeated the Wildcats since March 11, 2021, when they won 72-71 away. Georgetown is also 8-4 ATS away in its last 12 contests. For that reason, the Hoyas could make things interesting. With money on the line, take Villanova to win. Keep it simple.

No. 1 Marquette to win Big East Conference Tournament Championship

Next, No. 1 Marquette is 12-6 ATS in its last 18 games. The Golden Eagles are fighting to win their first conference tournament championship since 1997. Marquette has been named conference regular season champs a total of four times (1994, 2003, 2013, 2023). To add to the men’s program’s history, the team has made 34 appearances in the NCAA Tournament.

The Big East Conference Tournament Championship will likely come down to Marquette vs. Xavier. But UConn could upset Marquette in the semifinals. Sophomore guard Kam Jones led the Golden Eagles in scoring this season, averaging 15 points per game. Second-year forward Oso Ighodaro also logged 11.9 points and a team-high 5.9 rebounds per game. Plus, sophomore guard Tyler Kolek is the assists (7.9) and steals (1.7) leader.

No. 4 UConn to upset No. 1 Marquette

No. 4 UConn (24-7, 13-7 vs. Big East) and No. 1 Marquette won one game apiece in the head-to-head season series. On Jan. 11, the Golden Eagles won 82-76 over the Huskies. Then, Marquette lost 87-72 on Feb. 7. Kolek led the Golden Eagles in scoring in both meetings with 25 points in the first and 17 in the second. Fans might see several upsets in this year’s Big East Conference Tournament.

UConn is 8-2 in its last 10 contests. The Huskies are now on a five-game win streak. Not to mention, the point total has gone under in seven of their past eight games played in March. If these teams meet in the semifinals, UConn has a great shot of upsetting Marquette. Not all sportsbooks are sold on the Golden Eagles. Bettors like the Huskies.
