FWIW, his latest bracketology was posted BEFORE Texas lost at home to Kansas State. I think they'll drop to a 3-seed in his next one, with Wisconsin or Syracuse moving up to a 2-seed.

Eight Big East teams are a lock, in Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, St. John's, Louisville, Georgetown, Syracuse, Villanova, and Connecticut. The question becomes does Cincinnati, Marquette, and/or West Virginia get in. Cincinnati is currently 7th in the Big East, but have a weak SOS. Marquette has wins over Notre Dame, Syracuse, and at Connecticut. West Virginia has wins at Georgetown, at Cincinnati, and Notre Dame.
I think if West Virginia is presently "on the bubble but in", they have their chance to confirm they're in, as they host Connecticut and Louisville to end the regular season. Cincinnati also has this chance, as they host Marquette before traveling to Georgetown.
I think if the pieces fall right, 11 teams from the Big East will get in. There's always the chance that the "11th" team picks up another big win or two in the Big East tournament, as well.
