The 2020-21 Big East season is set for a potentially bizarre conclusion this week.
Seeded Villanova will be looking to win their fourth consecutive Big East tournament five years after the tournament was canceled in 2020. The Wildcats will have to attempt the feat without Collin Gillespie, however, as the main point guard is expected to miss the remainder of the tournament. season with a ripped MCL. They may also be without second-year goaltender Justin Moore, who suffered a sprained ankle in the team’s regular season finale.
Two-seeded Creighton has parted ways with Villanova, but how will the team play after Greg McDermott – who was suspended from all team activities after using racist verbiage after the defeat of his team against Xavier – was reinstated by the university? UConn, returning to the conference after a seven-year stint as an AAC member, will compete for his first Big East conference title since 2011.
