Assuming that the Big East will have 8 teams chosen by the NCAA selection Committee, there are seven teams ahead of the Huskies and 4 teams tied with them at 7-8.
Conf Overall
(4) Syracuse Orange 13-2 26-2
(7) Villanova Wildcats 12-3 23-4
(8) West Virginia Mountaineers 10-5 21-6
(12) Pittsburgh Panthers 10-5 21-7
(11) Georgetown Hoyas 9-6 19-7
Marquette Golden Eagles 9-6 18-9
Louisville Cardinals 9-6 18-10
Notre Dame Fighting Irish 7-8 18-10
Seton Hall Pirates 7-8 16-10
Connecticut Huskies 7-8 17-11
Cincinnati Bearcats 7-8 16-11
South Florida Bulls 6-9 16-11
St. John's Red Storm 5-10 15-12
Rutgers Scarlet Knights 4-11 14-14
Providence Friars 4-11 12-15
DePaul Blue Demons 1-14 8-19
Of the four teams tied with UCONN, the Huskies have the toughest Strength of Schedule(#1 in the country) and the highest RPI ranking(41), both measures that are highly important to the selection committee. A win on Sunday at 2:00 against Louisville would be a huge plus. This might not get clarified until the Big East tournament is over.

As I said on your last post Steve, we both may have to eat crow. Oh BTW, just to keep you totally accurate, as I'm sure you want to be seeing that you are the "intrepid reporter", there are only 3 teams tied with the Huskies for 8th place. They are the 4th team with the 7-8 record.
Mike, you are right they are tied with three teams. If eating a big plate of crow means the Huskies will be in the "Big Dance", I hear it's good with Peter Luger Steak Sauce.
