[SHUSource]

I see it very similarly to @shu09, but with no belief in Georgetown. I like the idea of Villanova heating up, first against a diminished Marquette team (likely no Kolek) and then finally catching Creighton:

Game 1: Butler over Xavier
Game 2: Providence over Georgetown
Game 3: Villanova over DePaul

Game 4: Connecticut over Butler
Game 5: St. John's over Seton Hall
Game 6: Creighton over Providence
Game 7: Villanova over Marquette

Game 8: Connecticut over St. John's
Game 9: Villanova over Creighton

Game 10: Connecticut over Villanova
