The first game of the Big East Women's Basketball Tournament tips off in 30 minutes. It features 9th ranked Providence against 8th ranked Butler. Providence enters tournament play with a 3-15 conference record, and a 19-29 all-time record in Big East Tourney play. Although they own a record of only 1-4 all-time as a 9 seed, this season they are 3-0 when playing at a neutral site. Look for Jovana Nogic to make an impact in today's game. More good news for the Friars: they lead Butler 8-2 all-time. The Butler Bulldogs come to Chicago with a 6-12 conference record, and ready for their first ever Big East Tournament meeting with Providence. In their Tourney history, the Bulldogs have never lost in the first round. Whitney Jennings looks to be the impact player for the Bulldogs today, leading the team in points both per game and overall. Another player to watch is Tori Schickel, who only needs to score 9 points in order to join Jennings with 500 points on the season, an admirable feat indeed.
