Big East fighting back

Yesterday was a nightmare for the Big East, as its teams went a collective 0-3 in first-round NCAA Tournament action. So far today, the conference is looking much better.

Three Big East teams are leading in second-half action today. In the Minneapolis region, top-seeded Villanova leads Monmouth, 36-27, and 7th-seeded Georgetown is ahead of Northern Iowa, 44-38. In the Atlanta region, 6th-seeded West Virginia leads Southern Illinois, 43-30. In other action, the top-seeded Memphis Tigers are ahead of Oral Roberts, 57-49, in the Oakland region.
