Big East Final

[SU Dreaming]

I miss the Big East, the refs let them play ball the right way, the energy and buzz at MSG is the best, we had to leave for football & $$, but man Big East basketball is looking good

 

[SoBeCuse]

This current ACCT has been nice, IMO. Refs letting them play like the old Big East.

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

The BET blows the ACCT out of the water. The ACCT is a snooze fest.

Big East Basketball is legit. Cooley's name was mentioned for UCONN and I honestly don't get why he'd leave Providence & A Real League to go to Connecticut and the dumpster fire that is the AAC..

 

[Briancuse]

I miss the garden in march.

 

[rocfan44]

When you can feel the electricity through the tv, you know you are missing out. Man I miss that building and feeling.

 

[adk(roc)CUSE]

Sold our soul for football...had to do it...but it stinks.

Cooley has done a phenomenal job with this Providence team. The last time I watched them play was November and they were a dumpster fire. They look fantastic now. I've been rooting for them to lose just in case it might help SU, but have to give credit where credit is due. They deserve to be in the tournament.

That sounds like some basketball-only thinking. We have a football history as well...it would be cool if we regained some of that relevance.

BE blows away the ACC, night and day, BE has a pulse, ACC is just slower and boring

 

[Jake]

Yeah. This is really fun to watch.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Great game

What do you mean? Because of Syracuse and Virginia?

I kind of agree but wonder if that's just because we've been meh in the ACC. I mean our games against Duke were insane...when we actually had a pulse ourselves.

I'm sure the rest of the ACC is wondering when we will get our act together and bring something to the table as well.

Eh, I was a Cuse foot all fan before I was a hoops fan. By a few months. But that is neither here nor there. Just the feeling I have the last few Marches as I watch our old rivals play in electric Garden.

 

[OrangeDW]

Garden is rocking, Nova is about to win the BE Tournament, and I’m incredibly jealous.

Damn that 2003 ACC expansion and screw the ND leaches forever for never joining the Big East in football.

Big East football was every bit as good as the ACC before Miami and VT left. It’s really too bad what happened.

As for the present...Barclays is not the Garden. I remember the thinking was the ACC would have a good chance of getting MSG at some point. Hasn’t happened.

 

[Bayside44]

We just need to get better. If we had a team that ran it in Brooklyn great.

I agree on MSG. No clue why the biggest and baddest basketball conference can't lock down The Garden. Barclays is amateur hour.

BE has a contract with MSG until 2025-26.

I don't care about facts.. give us MSG!

 

[LowHighPost]

It feels kind of like when you lose a chick you really liked, and then you try to rationalize all the reasons why the current one is better.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

It's too cold for Roy.

 

[OrangeDW]

I will say, waiting it out until 2026 is better than moving your tournament up a week like the Big Ten. Coming off like some desperate wannabes.

He wouldn't.
