Well, yeah, the Big Ten has to play two #1 seeds and a #2 seed, whereas the Big East plays a 3, a 7 and an 11. The Big Ten was also supposed to go 3-3 (by seedings) and went 5-1. The Big East was supposed to go 5-1 and went 3-3, including Marquette getting smoked by Michigan State. If you go by seedings, yes. But after the Marquette player was ruled out by injury, a lot of people who had Marquette changed to Michigan State. And even before that, I thought Michigan State was the favorite to win that game.
