March 12, 2016Big East Tournament Championship Game live stream and TV broadcast information for Saturday’s game.
The Big East Tournament concludes Saturday at Madison Square Garden, with Villanova meeting Seton Hall. The winner will receive the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Both teams have already likely punched their ticket, so both teams have conference pride and Tournament seeding more on their minds. If Villanova is able to pull off the victory, it will likely secure the top seed in the East region, where it will hope to avoid last year’s second round loss.
Overall, the Big East is expected to receive 4-5 bids for the NCAA tournament, with Villanova, Xavier, Providence and Seton Hall having likely locked up bids, and Butler remaining on the bubble heading into Sunday’s selection following its loss to quarterfinal loss to Providence.
Venue: Madison Square Garden, New York, N.Y.
Date: Saturday, Mar. 12
