PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -The Big East was a Big Bust on the first day of the NCAA tournament.
Third-seeded Georgetown? Gone. Six seeds Notre Dame and Marquette? Maybe next year.
The No. 2 seed Villanova Wildcats were the only Big East team to advance on Thursday and they needed overtime to get past mid-major Robert Morris.
Georgetown and Villanova put on a pair of uninspired showings in Providence, R.I. – the Big East’s headquarters.
Even President Barack Obama was letdown by the power conference.
Through the first 12 games of the NCAA tournament Thursday, Obama has correctly predicted all but three results in his bracket. All three losses were by teams in the Big East: Georgetown, Notre Dame and Marquette.
