Big East coaches wearing sweaters this weekend to honor Carnesecca

[CL82]

Watching the Xavier/Georgetown game. I think they are going to have to run an IV for Sean Miller. He's losing a lot of fluid.

Worse than this?

Wonder if MeUndies makes dragon sweaters.

The crowd at the Gtown game is pathetic - I’d be surprised if there are 1000 there. It looks at best first 3-4 rows are full. I get that it’s on break. Not a great look for a CBSS game.

Heading down for the game Saturday. Have to wear my spoiled shirt!

Let’s see. Ricky and Thad Matta wear Louie sweaters…..then don’t shake hands after the game? Should be fun.

+250 that Hurley rips his sweater with his bare hands

Never understood the sweater thing. It’s 110 degrees in the gym in a sweater? Rick Majerus wore them too and at his size it looked so hot and uncomfortable, but each to their own I guess.

Georgetown traditionally does not draw well and students are on break, attendance was listed as 6,600 but the capitol center area is the largest in the Big East at over 20k seats, so 6K looks even smaller. On the bright side. Crowd would have been a sellout at Carnesecca arena. If Georgetown keeps winning they will come.

Im sure there were fans spread out around the arena but the low seats in view were sparse. If there is another team I’m pulling for in the BE it’s Gtown, as I feel like that is the most foundational brand for the conference at the most decorated academic institution. Always great to have them strong in that recruiting hotbed. If there is one thing the BE needs it’s to maintain strength in its NE metro areas (DC, NY, Philly), as it’s a big part of its early branding.

He needs to throw a towel over his shoulder and bring it back

 

[JohnFSilver]

UConn coach and Seton Hall grad has to honor a St John’s guy?

They definitely were making noise last night in the game vs Xavier. Your bolded words are so true. GTown has been bad for so long it brought apathy to that fanbase. I am curious to see how many fans show up for the UConn game since UConn is the 2x back to back champs.

It's right there in the name: SWEATER.

I have no objection so long as Cooley loses.

And if the above is not clear, I just drifted back to sleep for a brief period...

Do they not sell ugly sweaters any more? Hurley went with a pretty normal, although I wouldn't wear that one, 1/4 zip sweater that looked like something you see everyday at work. English went with a pure black sweater that you can see anywhere. That was no honor to Louie. St. John's fans must be pissed.

Hurley tried, Kim English didn't try.

I liked Dan’s outfit. Classic ski sweater. I had a very similar looking wool one from LL Bean in the 90’s. I often kick myself for donating it.

 

[mauconnfan]

Dan gave it a decent run although it fell short but little or no respect to Louie from English,

 

[DRBackup]

This is my favorite sweater honoring Lou Carnesecca...

No, Kim English did not try. And pity NBC for pretending that he did. Shame
