Would the AD really bend over for Pitino and give up thousands in ticket sales? I can see maybe one season at Carnesecca, but after that, I don’t see the business of college athletics giving up a sold out MSG.

I believe the AD already stated he was going to do it last year, pre- Pitino hire. Initially, Rock said no to that but apparently Jess done an about face on it.

No, I’m not on the twitter. I don’t think we take it over but we have a thousand fans there and it’s a significantly easier place for PC to play than Gampel.

Sure, and UConn always brings a few thousand to the Dunk. PC started putting the game in a package to minimize it because it was even more before. I know, because the Dunk is 25 minutes from me and I always went to that game.

If Rick asks the AD for a meeting at a white tablecloth Italian restaurant after hours, the AD should politely decline the offer.

Rick's been known to bend over people.

Correct, same for URI. The problem is we continue to play you when students are gone (for reasons beyond me). So there will be single tickets available to you before the game.

I standby my comments about Hartford. This is the 2nd year in a row we will be at Gampel. I don’t see that changing anytime soon. You guys can stick your head in the sand as is your right but Hurley won’t be having us in Hartford anytime soon.
 
PC fans beginning to remind me if BC fans when BC believed they were ND in the football arena

Cute little wannabes

They couldn't even keep their homegrown coach who they loved because he made it to the second round or something like that

They hang "participation banners"

It’s March 9th this year. Last game on the schedule. Students will be around. Teams have no say in when league games are scheduled anyway.

For interested UConn fans single game tickets behind the basket are available. I’ll stick with the StubHub/ACE etc. The first few rows of the upper level on the sidelines are actually great seats.

Willie, you are angry. I’m sorry. 3rd response you’ve made, all very angry. That’s too bad.

Pitino quoted in a tweet that he wants the UConn game moved on campus because too many UConn fans attend MSG.

Lil bro PC fan, wanting to be like his big Bro UConn, manufactures in his own mind "us to, us too". Very cute

In my head? PC has won the last 4 games played in Hartford. Now they’re playing for the 2nd year in a row at Gampel and I’m saying we won’t see Hartford for a very long time. Hardly some far out there thought. Hurley said it.

Not the same. I mean, it’s Pee Cee. They don’t have a realistic chance of achieving anything meaningful. May as well hang banners for victories in Hartford.

Actually that's the start of PC's spring break so students won't be around.
 



Assisted access <<

-> Competitively, it makes a ton of sense – UConn fans have historically marched to the Garden in droves and made their presence heard, even more so recently. Financially – trading the 19,500-seat arena in Manhattan for 5,602 seats in Queens – not so much.

St. John’s is set to contest eight regular season games at Madison Square Garden this season – six in Big East play. The Red Storm have two Big East home games (against Xavier and Butler) at Carnesecca Arena this year and two (DePaul and Seton Hall) at UBS Arena.

“We didn’t sell out against Xavier (at Carnesecca). We didn’t have anybody come to Barclays (Center for Boston College on Dec. 10),” Pitino said. “We don’t have an abundance of fans. We’re not UConn or Villanova with fans, and there’s a reason. We lost the brand. Louie [Carnesecca] has been gone a long time. So we got to build the brand back and the people will come back.” <-

-> The programs haven’t met at Carnesecca Arena since 1990.<-
 
Pitino: we are going to play UConn at Carnesseca.

UConn fans: they are scared of us at MSG

Hurley: we are going to play PC at Gampel

PC fans: they are scared of us in Hartford

UConn fans: it’s not the same
