The Big East has been a quite the rollercoaster ride in recent seasons, with a fresh winner taking the title each of those seasons. Each of these victors hailed from different rungs on the odds board, ranging from -165 to +8000.[SOURCE: Historical Data]
An interesting trend to note over the past three seasons is the correlation between tournament champions and teams boasting the number one defense in the conference. Being the top-ranked defensive team this season, St. John's is in a prime position to make a run, given their formidable defense, allowing a mere 66.3 points per game.[SOURCE: Enrichment Data]
From a betting angle, the Big East tournament has generally favored the favorites, boasting at least six outright champions since the 2009-2010 season.[SOURCE: Enrichment Data]
