Here’s the 2016 Big East Tournament TV Schedule, Seeds, and Game Times

Live from the world’s most famous arena on Wednesday night, the Big East Tournament will tip-off from New York City. The #1 seed Villanova Wildcats are looking to defend their championship title from last year, as the Big East Conference looks to send as many as four teams potentially to the Big Dance in 2016.

Heading into the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden, the conference boasts an impressive two teams nationally ranked in the top 5 in the AP poll; Villanova was bumped from the #1 overall ranking last weekend after a tough loss on the road to conference rival Xavier, whose 26-4 record has earned them a #5 overall ranking.

Villanova’s 27-4 record puts them third behind only #1 Kansas (27-4) and #2 Michigan State (26-5).
