Four predictions, three different seeds for Marquette. Two of the predictions have eight Big East teams in with three of those coming from The Seven, but even those two can't agree on which is the third member of The Seven to get in.
Let's see what we have.
SB NATION:
Marquette: Falling to a 5 seed against 12 seed Iowa State
Big East: Eight teams - Syracuse (2), Louisville (3), Georgetown (4), Cincinnati (5), Marquette (5), Notre Dame (7), Pittsburgh (7), Villanova (11)
The Seven: Marquette, Georgetown, and Villanova
Rumored Partners: Gonzaga (3), Butler (4), Creighton (8), VCU (8), SLU (10)
SPORTS ILLUSTRATED:

Marquette Bubble Watch Blurb:
The Golden Eagles haven't been great on the road this season, and they weren't great Monday night in a ragged loss at Georgetown. Marquette is still riding the New Year's period run that netted them all three of their quality wins. Interesting remaining schedule: Pitt comes in for the rematch on Saturday and the other home games are Syracuse and Notre Dame. All four road games left are winnable: Seton Hall, Villanova, Rutgers and St. John's. The Golden Eagles are still well positioned for a good NCAA seed.
Marquette: 5 seed against the play-in winner of 12 seeds Temple and Saint Mary's
Big East: Seven teams - Syracuse (2), Louisville (3), Georgetown (4), Marquette (5), Pittsburgh (5), Notre Dame (6), Cincinnati (7)
The Seven: Marquette and Georgetown
Rumored Partners: Gonzaga (2), Butler (4), Creighton (6), VCU (8), Saint Louis (11)
CBS SPORTS (Note: posted on Monday):
