Friday October 17th Creighton 1 Villanova 1 Butler 1 Xavier 1 UConn 1 St. John's 0 Providence 1 Marquette 0 Saturday afternoon October 18th Georgetown put a 3-0 beatdown on a very bad DePaul team #8 Maryland went to Columbus and stomped a mudhole in the Buckeyes...4-0 Terps Ohio State record drops to 5-8-0 Current Big East standings (and yes, I am extremely thankful that the Zips do not play in the East division) Big East - Eastern Division 1. Georgetown 4-0-1 13 points 3 way tie for 2nd 2T. UConn 3-2-0 9 points 2T. Seton Hall 2-0-3 9 points 2T. Providence 3-2-0 9 points 5. St. John's 2-2-1 7 points 6. Villanova 1-1-3 6 points Big East- Midwest Division 1. Creighton 3-1-1 10 points 2T. Butler 2-2-1 7 points 2T. Akron 2-2-1 7 points 4. Xavier 1-2-2 5 points 5. DePaul 0-4-1 1 point 6. Marquette 0-5-0 0 pts Next week schedule Saturday October 25 Creighton (10) at Butler (7) 1 pm Akron (7) at Xavier (5) 2 pm Seton Hall (9) at St. John's (7) 4:30 UConn (9) at Providence (9) 7 pm Villanova (6) at Georgetown (13) 7 pm DePaul (1) at Marquette (0) 8 pm The Zips need desperately to get revenge against Xavier. As Big East opponents, the Zips have fared very poorly on the road at Xavier. 2023 - a very frustrating 0-0 tie in regular season. And then, a very painful season ending loss in the Big East Conference quarterfinals...1-0 loss at Xavier in 2023. Xavier's pitch is not the best. The zips need to step on their throats early and compete for 90 minutes. 3 points are a must on Saturday afternoon.

Creighton completely dominated the game they led 8 to 1 on shots on goal they led 8 to 2 on corners they led 18 to 7 in shots final score - Villanova 1 Creighton 1 Villanova is now 1-1-3 and has 6 points after 5 matches. Creighton is now 3-1-1 and has 10 points. Creighton will still be the Midwest division leader after tonight's games

How in the world do they decide to start their games at 6:56 pm? https://shupirates.com/news/2025/10/16/mens-soccer-pirates-host-akron-in-massive-big-east-battle-under-the-lights I know that the Zips have only played 4 games so far in the 8 game Big East schedule. However, I view this as a game that the Zips can not afford to lose. If the Zips were to suffer a loss in this game, I do not see the Zips qualifying for the 4 team Big East tournament. Let's look at the current point totals for the 10 teams...still in contention to make the Big East tournament. I will also list the 4 remaining games for each of the 10 teams. Marquette is 0-4-0 and DePaul is 0-3-1. I do not see either of those teams making the Big East Tournament. Big East - Eastern Division Georgetown currently has 10 points. They look like a total slam dunk to be one of the 4 teams to qualify for the tournament. Georgetown is currently 3-0-1 and they probably have the softest remaining schedule. 4 remaining games - DePaul (currently has 1 point) ; Villanova (5 points going into Friday night games) ; Xavier (4 points) ; Providence (6 points) total points for 4 teams on remaining schedule - 16 points (avg. of 4.0) Seton Hall is currently 2nd in the Eastern Division with 8 points and a 2-0-2 record. Their ties are against Georgetown and Villanova 4 remaining game - Akron (currently has 6 points) ; St. John's 7 points ; Creighton 9 points ; UConn 6 points total points for 4 teams on remaining schedule - 28 points (avg. of 7.0) St. John's is currently 3rd in the Eastern division with 7 points. They currently have the 4th highest total in the 12 team league. They have already played Georgetown. 4 remaining games - UConn (currently has 6 points) ; Seton Hall 8 points ; Villanova 5 points ; Butler 6 points total points for remaining schedule - 25 points (avg. of 6.25) UConn is tied for 4th in the East division with 6 points. They have already played Georgetown. 4 remaining games - St. John's (currently has 7 points) ; Providence 6 pts ; Butler 6 points ; Seton Hall 8 points total points for remaining schedule - 27 points (avg. of 6.75) Providence is tied for 4th with 6 points. They get to face cellar dwellars DePaul and Marquette. Their last game is against Georgetown. 4 remaining games - Marquette (currently has 0 points) ; UConn 6 pts ; DePaul 1 pt ; Georgetown 10 pts total points for remaining schedule - 17 points (avg. of 4.25) Villanova is in 6th place in the east with 5 points. Their next 3 games are not easy. 4 remaining games - Creighton (currently has 9 points) ; Georgetown 10 pts ; St. John's 7 pts ; Marquette 0 pts total points for remaining schedule - 26 points (avg. of 6.5) Big East - Midwest Division Creighton is the current leader in the Midwest with 9 points. Creighton has already played Marquette and DePaul. 4 remaining games - Villanova (currently has 5 points) ; Butler 6 pts ; Seton Hall 8 pts ; Akron 6 pts total points for remaining schedule - 25 points (avg. of 6.25) Akron is tied for 2nd in the Midwest with 6 points. Akron is the only team of the 4 midwest teams that has not yet played cellar dweller Marquette. 4 remaining games - Seton Hall (currently has 8 points) ; Xavier 4 pts ; Marquette 0 pts ; Creighton 9 pts total points for remaining schedule - 21 points (avg. of 5.25) Butler is tied for 2nd in the Midwest with 6 points. If Butler and Akron were finish tied for the Midwest division, Akron would win the tiebreaker. 4 remaining games - Xavier (currently has 4 points) ; Creighton 9 pts ; UConn 6 pts ; St. John's 7 pts total points for remaining schedule - 26 points (avg. of 6.5) Xavier is a long shot to make the Big East tournament. They currently have 4 points. They still have to play Georgetown. 4 remaining games - Butler (currently has 6 points) ; Akron 6 pts ; Georgetown 10 pts ; DePaul 1 pt total points for remaining schedule - 23 points (avg. of 5.75 )

I answered that question earlier in the day. My question for others on the board. For the 4 team Big East tournament, will they take the top 2 teams from the East and the top 2 teams from the Midwest? Or will they take the 4 teams with the highest point totals? Right now, the highest point totals have 4 teams from the East in the top 5 1. Seton Hall and Georgetown 7 points tie for 3rd. Creighton, UConn and Providence 6 points
