Big East Tournament Thread

St John’s plays 11 games at Madison Square Garden. Seems like a home court to me. Doesn’t matter when they aren’t good. When they are, though it is a little unfair, no?

Neah, Its not the same in the BET. Actually I think Seton Hall may just knock them off if they face each other for the 3rd time. Its SHU last chance to get into the tournament .
 
We've been playing at MSG for 40+ years now. Wouldn't change a thing. St John's is more familiar with the arena, the shooting sites, but their crowd advantage goes away with 11 teams all receiving the same number of seats. They won't control the lower bowl

As teams get eliminated, it's about what fans will spend the money

If the top seeds advance, Friday night is going to be one hot ticket

St John's
UConn
Nova
Seton Hall

The path low key is easier as the 2 seed than the 1 seed lol

But it shouldn’t matter. If you are a real contender, you should destroy both games 1 and 2. St John’s punked us and we responded by blasting them by 30 the next time around. I’m begging for us to get Marquette first. I want to see the punch back that we didn’t do yesterday

Will the Bright Lights of MSG in a single-elimination tourney be enough to light competitive fire and urgency in this enigmatic team? I guess we’ll find out…

32.
 
Only thing I’m upset about is PC choking yesterday because we would have had DePaul/Xavier with an automatic win in the Qtrs. Marquette at least will challenge us, although we should win with a de facto home court and the chances of shooting 3/24 from three again is just not likely.

Providence vs St. John’s at noon on Thursday, just, please let it happen 😂

Why you like PC v SJ? They have better chance then Butler to knock off SJ?
 
The BE tourney winner usually gets more glory, but Marquette won it in 23-24’ so neither title is definitive and let’s face it, on Sunday night all is forgotten. Unless we lose the first game we still get a #2 seed I think, #3 if we lose the first.

We'll win the BEAST tourney and Florida won't win theirs. Committee will have no choice to give us #1 unless they want even less than zero credibility.

I want revenge against Marquette as much as anyone but it’s also important to remember how good their defense has been of late. Top 10 nationally since 2/1. Like Hall, lots of deflections and disruption, which might not be the most ideal matchup for us

The ideal path IMO instead of PC > Hall (rockfight) we get Marquette (revenge game) > Nova
I’d like to beat SJU in the final for another good Q1 win

I'd rather play Marquette or Xavier than PC. PC can legitimately beat St. Johns.

Yes - 15-5 first year off the Neptune disaster, to me a more impressive achievement, $$ or not. Swept the Hall. Only losses to UConn/StJ & Creighton once. Darned good year.

I agree with you. I think Willard deserved it more.
