The sad truth is that no matter how much hate there is around here the Big East will continue to draw well... MSG is MSG, NYC is NYC, College basketball is NYC. Its a combinations of factors that guarantee a good draw. A fan from Nebreaska and middle of nowhere America is willing to make a three day trip to NYC... but it would never work the other way around and that's precisely what our AAC tournament lacks. Whodafuk wants to go to Memphis?

Good or bad the ACC may try and steal MSG and that would kill the C7.

I think the chances are good that Butler never returns to the level they were with Stevens. The chances are also good that Creighton returns to obscurity when McDermott et al leave after this year.

How do you think Tulane and East Carolina will do?

will the Carolina centric ACC (Duke, Wake, UNC, NC St.) allow this? or would they want this? It would be a great move, but how likely is this to happen?

Jeezus, expand your horizons a little. Memphis is a great city.

NYC is the best city in the world... why should I expand my horizon? My horizon is the Hudson River to the west, East River to the East, and The New York Harbor to the South

Sorry, I guess I'm just another New Yorker

You can have it...It's good for a visit, but my need for fresh air hits a fever pitch around 24:02:00.
Obviously, just my opinion. I love experiencing different things in different places.

I was just being a bit obnoxious. LOL... but In all seriousness I'm a bit of a traveler also. Its good to go out there and visit places... If only I wasn't broke, but that's a different story...

Sad? We have Houston playing in our semis and it's not 1983. They play in front of 1500 for their home games. There are un ranked women's basketball teams that could average what Houston averaged this year.

I'm not a big Big East defender but we our casting a heckuva a lot of stones at them when the AAC is going to be losing a lot of cred when Louisville heads off for greener pastures.
Expand ...

HAVE YOU SEEN THEIR ATHLETES?

You can diss Houston all you want. I actually think, and yes I will give James Dickey a smidgen of credit, they could be a damn good team with the right motivator and the right fit of 8 players. I give Dickey credit for getting them into school and recruiting. And that Young kid at Oregon could have been useful. They, also, are young on that roster.
 
Can we stop with the NBE? I mean there is exactly 1 member of the C7 that is getting a bid and that team just got beat by a CYO team that is making it's first quarterfinal appearance in 13 years. The AAC may not turn out to be much, but 2 of the 3 teams from the BE are tourney teams. The C7 was the ass-end of the BE caravan and even without the power schools they are still terrible, all of them.

Having your crud schools never improve is very different than having your second best school drop to the level of Butler. The equivalent would be to ask what happens if Cincy or Memphis pull a Temple?

Butler is the 2nd best program in the Big East? According to who? You?

Cincinnati hasn't made the Final Four since 1992 and people act like Georgetown and Marquette who are having down years this year and who consistently finished ahead of Cincinnati in the Big East standings the last several seasons can't easily turn it around in coming years and compare to Cincinnati as a program. People who believe that probably also believe that SMU will be great when Larry Brown moves on in a year or two.

I'm not a fan of the Big East at all. They don't get the exposure on that Fox channel and lack great teams. But once Louisville is gone, they will be a comparable if not better league top to bottom than the AAC. And that's a reality some will come to grips with later if they haven't already.
 
I have to say while mildly amusing the venom from you guys toward the C7 reeks of jealously. The 1st round last night was the best attended 1st round in a long time and todays attendance at 15k was right in line with afternoon quarterfinal games previously. It's not the BE of old and never will be, and it's also not the clustefudge that is the AAC and never will be.

Yup. Jealousy.

We are really jealous of PC coming off your dream season and now having a chance to play Seton Hall. Jealousy.

You are really an idiot.

We are jealous SU playing Duke and UNC, not PC playing Seton Hall. Moron.

Well, I was referring to MSG, Oh and I know about your feeling for Cuse, here's a hint dumbazz, sucking up to Cuse fans on their message board is not going to get your school a better home, all it does is make you look even more pathetic then you already are, if that's possible.

Ummm, suggesting that SU has a great BB program and coach isn't sucking up. It's a fact.

Just like saying that PC is a pathetic piece of dog crap for a program isn't an insult. It's a fact.

Seriously, this was PC biggest game in about 20 years. That's sad.
 
Sadly, or maybe appropriately, the big east is officially dead. Whats the over/under on empty seats for Sat?

I'm flipping through the channels now and they seem to be having good crowds on TV from where I am watching. A lot of Creighton fans.

Huh? You clearly misread what was written.

The poster you responded to said that Creighton might drop after losing McDermott like Butler dropped. You responded to him, and I responded to what you wrote.

In other words, I was referring to the possibility of Creighton becoming like Butler, which is far different than Tulane remaining like... um, Tulane.

I don't know if Jealousy is precisely the feeling. But there is so much hate here, for no real reason. So I wouldn't call him an idiot for saying the obvious....

I think we as a fan base need to focus more on continuing a good relationship with the northeast schools instead of advocating for their demise. A strong Northeast region helps everyone including Connecticut. These teams will be scheduled in the future and also keeps people in the Northeast enthusiastic about College basketball. Do we want a region filled with BCUs? I doubt it...

Ok. I won't call him an idiot for that. He is an idiot for all his other posting on this site. That is not disputable.

Good God you're a rock head. Again, what I'm saying has nothing to with the AAC. It's not great and will be worse next year. Can we get past that?

I have been conveying nostalgia for the Old Big East. The good Big East. The best basketball conference that ever existed and that we got to be a part of it. The AAC is nowhere close. The new Big East isn't either and is worsse than the AAC this year and will be a worse conference next year than this. Both are clearly worse off but that wasn't even the point.

The Big East is a sad shell of its former self and its sad.
 
So much Noise...

In other news. Is it me or does MSG look Packed right now. Unreal

if its such a craphole why are you here? waste your time in your own blog
 
Why are we arguing about the Big East over here, when UCF is challenging # 13 Cincinnati? UConn fans can reminisce but we have a team in the AAC Tournament. Those who remain in the Big East can try and cling to the past all they want if it makes them sleep better at night, but the Big East is what it is and it isn't what it used to be. No one else is fooled?
 
the Big East was giving away tickets for free to the Big East. you can buy them for $10 apiece on the street. tomorrow's tickets will be even less. Creighton is saving attendance but incremental Creighton fans are not arriving, so today is the peak

The AAC conference sucks. No one is traveling to these games, maybe if Memphis plays Louisville in the final it will be packed, otherwise, no. The five teams who are in are in and the other five are not. These games mean nothing. And in two years when the tourney is Orlando, it will be an even bigger joke. Orlando? Really? to see ECU, Tulsa, Tulane, Houston and UCF battle it out on a Thursday? Take me through how a Uconn player or fan is going to give a rat's ass about that.
