This Week Sucks

[blackuc]

What was once one of my favorite weeks of the year, has now become just another week. The Thursday, Friday, Saturday night finals at The Garden are dead and some imposters are now playing there. No more Ray against G'town or Taliek from 35 feet to beat Pitt. I just feel so cheated that the best basketball conference of all time has been destroyed.

It's OK. I used to fly in on my Spring Break to hang out with my brothers every year. This year they permanently changed our Spring Break to next week, which coincides with the NCAA tourney down the road. Hmmmmm.

 

[UConnDad]

Same here. Always took this week off but with no BET changed to next week. Great time of year especially with post season for us!!!!

UCONN is playing in a post season conference tourney with 5 ranked, NCAA tournament teams with a chance to play themselves in to a top 4 seed. That my friends, is an awesome fricken week. Is it the BET? No, but nothing is. As a second option this ain't awful. Quit your whining and get on the mojo train.

We get to play Memphis, Cincinnati, and then Louisville in progression. That is as tough as the Big East tourney. It is certainly great preparation for the NCAAs.

What's gone is gone. No reason to condemn what we have.

Your absolutely right BUT this used to be the week for us New York UCONN fans that was friggin awesome! We had the chance to see our boys at the garden on back to back to back to back to back nights!

Hey!

They finished 14th out of 15 teams. It could be worse. They could have finished 15th like their women's team did.

Totally understand. That was amazing for all of us. But, it's gone and we've got to move on. It's not BET but it is far from sucking.

If BC cares at all about hoops they'll fire their coach and offer the farm to BC alum, Bruce Pearl.

Just far!

We weren't apart of the Big East for long but it was weird not seeing games on Wednesday afternoon from the Garden. I've never seen a conference intentionally manipulate when certain teams play based on the host school, that is a minor league move to me. The tournament will still probably be okay, nothing special though...

If BC cared about hoops at all, they'd drop down to the A10 or Colonial where they might finish around .500.

How come the recent rounds of conference realignment never involve a P5 conference booting out the trash?

Just sad.

You sure?

I'm currently watching GTown vs DePaul. Also watched Seton Hall vs Butler a couple hours ago. Tune into FS1 and you can enjoy some Big East basketball. Has been fun to watch so far. Tune in!

There's something cheesy about this motherf---er.

Someone's got it right! This is the best week of the year. I love championship week. So much drama, so many games at all times of the day.... and we can top it all off with Connecticut's legitimate chances of earning a fourth seed. Lets go!!!!!!!

Anybody have inside info about plans to move MSG in 2023? They say Penn Stn is supposed to take over the site.

What are the chances it will happen?

 

[patrick]

Temple and UCF are in a real nail biter! Also Sykes broke the AAC tournament's scoring record AND he is still going!

 

[zls44]

Georgetown...not good.

Ignore the other idiot who was thoroughly confused by your question.

Ultimately, I think the Garden will have to move, but I would be surprised if it happens by 2023 - the lease limit says they have to either move in ten years or head back to the permit process. I doubt there will be a resolution in a decade.

In lighter news, G'Town just went down to the older & new BE's perennial bottom-feeder.

Why all the hate?

I initially read the question wrong...

But I agree with what you said. MSG spent a ton of money in renovations recently and its hard to believe that its only for a ten year period. They'll probably lobby the city to grant another 5-10 years

@noescalators with some amazing tidbits. Their last BET game was a 19-point loss. TO RUTGERS.

Their last BET win? After their 0-18 season in 2008.
