And Then There Were Two: Georgetown, Creighton to Meet for Big East Title

When the season began back in November, we all kind of expected Creighton to be in this year's Big East championship game, right? The same couldn't be said about Georgetown, who was picked to finish dead last in the preseason poll and were the #8 seed in this tournament. Tonight, these two teams will clash for the Big East title. For Creighton, they're gunning for their Big East title in school history after losing the title game in each of their last two appearances. As for Georgetown, they're trying to steal the Big East's automatic bid in the Big Dance and return glory and honor back to Georgetown, which would mean the world to head coach and Georgetown icon Patrick Ewing in the building he says that he owns. I'll preview this title game showdown in depth, provide my analysis on how these teams got here, forecast the All-Big East Tournament team, and try to put into words how much a Big East title this year would mean to both programs.
