I think the main point being made here is that we have a multiple page thread ripping Shaugnessy (spelling?) for saying nobody cares about college basketball in the Northeast, yet we also had around 8k fans in attendance at 50% capacity for a do or die tournament game against a ranked opponent that could be considered our most consistent rival.

I think Shaugnessy's point is overblown a bit, but who's to say he didn't tune in yesterday and draw that conclusion?

I also tend to agree that had this been a bigger tournament (i.e. Big East or ACC) the place would have been packed, but since we're not in that position, we don't have that luxury.

Everyone knows AAC is a death knell for our programs but after 4 years, I'm just shocked at how much we've already gone down in terms of support only three seasons removed from a title.

I have the P5 dream, but I wonder how much more we can sustain this league for basketball specifically.

I wonder if there is anyway to do a ND-lite deal with the ACC to even out their hoops league at 16 and get maybe 4 ACC games a season for football....
