The Big East entered the 2025 NCAA Tournament with the two-time defending National Champion Connecticut Huskies, but it left with no team reaching the Sweet 16.

UConn, St. John's and Creighton all won their first-round games, but they all lost in the Round of 32, with No. 2 St. John's suffering a brutal upset against No. 10 Arkansas.

On Sunday, the Huskies' bid for a third-straight national title came to an end against the Florida Gators, who took the lead late to end UConn's season. Marquette lost in the first round to New Mexico, so the Big East ended up going just 3-4 in seven games in the 2025 tournament.

Here are the results for every Big East NCAA Tournament game in 2025.
