Seton Hall is in second place at 27-over, Marquette and Butler are tied for third at 37-over while defending champion Georgetown is in fifth place at 40-over.
Leading the way for the Demon Deacons is medalist co-leader Jonathan Hewett. Through two rounds Hewett is even-par following rounds of 74-70. During Monday's second round Hewett carded a 2-under 70 with three birdies and a bogey.
