Message: [QUOTE="Mister P, post: 3193202, member: 9590"] Not wanting to debate the new move but speaking purely as a basketball fans perspective going back to the BE is the jolt that us fans needed. For any new or older fan or current students who have never been to a BE tourney you need to make every effort to attend games or sessions. I’ve been fortunate to attend the tourney many times.The atmosphere in MSG is like no other in college basketball. Especially on a Friday or Saturday night. Whether it was sitting mid court 10 rows up for the 2004 final, UConn fans serinating BC fans as they were losing their final BE game before heading to a new conference, haggling with scalpers for tickets, almost coming to blows with GTown fans in the mid 90’s in the elevator because of “differences” when debating if Ray was better than Iverson,taking the train down to the city,hitting the arena bars,the adjacent Fridays or going down to The Village to get soused at McSorleys Pub or staying across the street at The Hotel Pennsylvania which made motel 6 look like a 5 star hotel all of these memories were because of the BE tourney. Yes, PITT and Cuse are gone but I can see the Villanova rivalry taking center stage.UConn fans ruled The Garden then and I look forward to seeing that again. Go Huskies ! [/QUOTE]
