Butler leads the way with 18 points, followed by Georgetown (16), St. John's (13), Xavier (12) then Marquette. Creighton fell from fifth to sixth place with the loss.

Women's soccer faces Seton Hall with BIG EAST seeding on the line
The women's soccer team plays its regular season finale on Thursday evening at Seton Hall, a match that will determine whether it will host a home match on Sunday at Valley Fields in the BIG EAST tournament quarterfinals. A win over the Pirates and a loss by Xavier against BIG EAST-leader Georgetown would result in a Sunday afternoon home quarterfinal match for MU. A loss or a Xavier win would put the Golden Eagles on the road to start league tournament action.
Golden Eagles play their regular season finale tonight at @SHUWSOC. Live broadcast on @BIGEASTdigital.
