Only seven undefeated Big East teams remain after Villanova lost tonight to Tennessee.

St. John's has what could end up being a damaging loss tonight if they find themselves on the bubble at the end of the year, losing at home to St. Bonaventure.

I don't think SJU is going to be near the bubble this year. I still don't think they are any good. Sure they have seniors but who cares if the seniors aren't any good.

Lavin is the coach. He'll get the talent, but not the results.

Kind of reminds me of a former Pitt football coach.

They are a senior laden team. Lavin is notorious for underachieving with talent but did make some sweet 16 runs.

16 SHOTS AROUND THE BIG EAST:

- Cincinnati:
Cincinnati leads the nation in scoring defense (51.4 ppg). The Bearcats have allowed more than 59 points just once this season. The Bearcats are off to their best start since 2004-05 which is also the last season they appeared in NCAA Tournament.

That scoring defense will not be going up against a completely inept offensive team on Saturday, regardless of their record or who they are... averaging 73.0 PPG on the season (while the 'Cats average 70)... I'm hoping UC comes out and looks dominant once again, holding them to 50 or less.

We've seen in flashes thus far how good this team can play defensively... if they can find a way to sustain that against better competition they can play with just about anyone in the country.

Notre Dame- Pretender or Contender in the Big East?

We find out tonight.

Other games of note tonight:

Providence is tested @ Boston College.

Seton Hall takes on Arkansas in the appetizer for that ND/Kentucky Night Cap at Freedom Hall.

A Quick look ahead to the rest of the week:

Only one game on tomorrow- Georgetown @ Temple.

There are no Big East games Friday... but on Saturday, what a great lineup...

Tennessee @ Pitt

Gonzaga @ Notre Dame

UNLV @ Louisville

Auburn @ Rutgers

Alabama @ Providence

Seton Hall @ UMASS

Wisconsin @ Marquette

Seven very intriguing games.
