Typical NCAA bids (Big East): 1-3 per year over the last five seasons. Connecticut and Virginia Tech historically lead the league. Tournament winner gets auto-bid; at-large possible for top teams.

The Big East tournament champion earns an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Other teams must earn an at-large selection from the NCAA selection committee, which weighs RPI, conference record, strength of schedule, and quality wins. Standings here are sorted by conference winning percentage, the primary metric used to seed the conference tournament.
