Big East Tournament Thread

Rip the bandage off and announce it before the day is over.

I don't think he's going to get any sympathy from the PC fans.

“I don’t want anyone’s sympathy,” English said after the 85-72 loss to St. John’s in the Big East Tournament quarterfinals at Madison Square Garden on Thursday. ” I don’t like anyone’s pity. Don’t text me nothing sad, ‘Hope you’re OK, keep your head up’… Kick me while I’m down. I’ll get up. I’ve never been more proud in that locker room than I was after this season.”

If SJU and UConn meet in the finals they will. It will likely be closer than their "home game", but a decent amount of those other fans are going to sell their tickets, more of them to local SJU fans than UConn fans.

There’s no way it should favor StJ. Not hard to get from CT to NYC on a Saturday

The 1999 BET final was at least 80% UConn fans to 20% SJU fans. I was really surprised. UConn fans usually show up on Saturdays.

Our program is cool as hell. Emeka is at Legends, Kevin Freeman, Bill Clingan, I think Tate may have just made it...

Shall vs St Johns part 3. They are 0-6 vs the top 3 in the BE; you have to figure they eventually break through. Though I suppose their chances at an at-large are shot even with a STJ win. Just imagine if they were 1-5 vs the top 3 even, and won even one of those really bad losses...

Maybe he was referring to Tate's legal issues. He was released from prison in 2021.

SJ, were you at Legends? Wish I knew, would have said hello and bought you a drink.

I did see Kevin (didn't speak with him). Spoke for a few minutes with Bill Clingan. He's a very pleasant (and quite gregarious) person.

I do know who Tate George is. I’m a little surprised to hear he’s out and about

No, I wish.

My buddy was there. My other buddy has become close friends with Tate and he was texting him he was trying to make it to Legends.
