The UConn effect.

I guess, but they would have had to have this set up preseason you'd think.

LOL, Big East hoops leading into Smackdown. In old days, not sure which one would have had more violence.

Thursday could be crazy with this lineup...

UConn/Butler - Is Butler somewhat alive if they beat X/UConn/4-5 winner?

Hall/St. John's - Winner locks up a bid?

Marquette/Nova - Do or die for Nova. Kolek's status?

Creighton/Providence - These 2 teams look kinda evenly matched?

Those times were done in September. It's becasue FOX/FS1 has the Pac-12, and the semi's in the Pac-12 got bumped an hour early in the timeslots. Not sure what the change was in why FS1 doesn't carry the 1st semi in the Big East. FOX justed wanted it and that is the reason. I believe this decision will pay off.

7,523 - that's the attendance for the ACC Tournament yesterday in DC. Remember when they were going to bring their tourny to the Garden and we were going to have to look elsewhere? Enjoy the next four days. Remember, the Big East Champion can only be crowned on the corner of 33rd and 7th in New York City at the most famous arena in the World. Regular season is very nice, but there is only one true Champion. He we go....

I don't know what is going on with College Basketball overall...

But to see Big East Tournament First Round tickets for $15.00-$23.00 is really odd. feels like demand this year is unexpectedly low. We are talking about bubble teams with strong following - Villanova, Providence, Butler and other strong brands Xavier, Georgetown in a tripleheader. Makes no sense. I'll be there tonight!

Even tomorrow's loaded afternoon QF has been dropping in price over the past several days. If it drops more I may be tempted to "get sick" and attend. LOL

I think it's because this year Georgetown and DePaul are dregs. And Butler realistically isn't close to the bubble. The 2 bubble teams are playing dregs in games that shouldn't be close.

You also need to see where those tickets are in the arena. Most of those low price tickets are up at the ends.

Yeah I looked at ticket prices in my section for tonight for a few friends and the asking price is from $200-$400…..
