Going by the way early NBC Top 25, the Gavitt Games set up playing better B1G schools than some think.

Big East plays 3 of the top 4 Big Ten Teams-
#12 Georgetown @ #3 Maryland
Creighton @ #15 Indiana
#18 Xavier @ #17 Michigan
DePaul @ Penn St

Nebraska @ #9 Villanova
Iowa @ #23 Marquette
Illinois @ Providence
Rutgers @ St John's

The only top 4 Big Ten team the Big East does not get this year is #7 Michigan St. #19 Wisconsin.
