The 2016 Big East Men’s Basketball tournament is scheduled to take place between March 9-12, 2016 at Madison Square Garden (MSG) in New York City. For the first time in more than two decades, the Big East Championship game will be broadcast on network television (FOX). The overall winner of the Big East basketball tournament will earn the conference’s automatic bid to the 2016 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. In order to help basketball fans follow the action for this year’s tournament, we have included a printable 2016 Big East Basketball tournament bracket for your use. As the league has continued to mature after the break-up with the football schools that went on to form the American Conference, the top two seeds in the Big East Tournament (Villanova and Xavier) enter postseason play poised to be #1 and #2 seeds in the NCAA Tournament respectfully. Wildcat fans are hoping to see Villanova make it past the first weekend of NCAA Tourney play this year.
