Full Bracket

Ninth-seeded Butler will open the 2023 BIG EAST Men's Basketball Tournament presented by Jeep with a first round match-up against St. John's.

The full tournament bracket was finalized Saturday evening.

Butler and St. John's, which is the No. 8 seed, will play Wednesday at 3 p.m. The winner of that contest will advance to play top-seeded Marquette in Thursday's quarterfinals.

The Bulldogs and St. John's split a pair of regular season match-ups during the 2022-23 campaign. The Red Storm won in New York Jan. 10 before the Bulldogs took a 68-66 win at Hinkle Fieldhouse Feb. 7.

Butler and St. John's have never met previously in the BIG EAST Tournament.
 
The Tournament returns to Madison Square Garden for the 41st consecutive year. The action begins Wednesday, March 8 and runs through Saturday, March 11. 

FOX Sports, the conference's television partner, will continue its wall-to-wall coverage with FS1 televising all nine games in the first three days of the Tournament before the FOX broadcast network carries the championship game on Saturday, March 11, at 6:30 p.m. ET.  The BIG EAST Tournament at The World's Most Famous Arena is college basketball's longest running conference tournament held at the same venue.
