Great night in the Dome

[SWC75]

...but not on my bracket sheet. I had Oklahoma beating NC State on Sunday. I had SMU facing Duke in the other regional but they never made it. That makes me 39-17 for the tournament and now I've lost a Final Four team. But it was fun sitting with some Spartan fans helping them root their team to victory. It should be fun watching Pitino match wits with Izzo. Duke- Gonzaga should be a great game, too.

Love having the Eastern Regionals in town.

Question: Was Boeheim at the games tonight?

Question: Was Boeheim at the games tonight?

Dunno. Somebody asked me if Magic Johnson was there. I didn't see him. Floyd Little was there, FWIW.

I still remember Magic's coming out party at the first Carrier Classic. So does Marty Byrnes.

Boeheim no - Magic yes

Question: Was Boeheim at the games tonight?

Boeheim no - Magic yes. Boeheim watched his daughter play AAU game at OCC.

Magic was there as was Matthew Stafford

Of course, he would be at Jamie's game. He attends every one of his children' games... unless he's on the road or literally coaching a game himself.

Little known fact: of the three younger Boeheim children, Jamie is probably the best athlete... better than her two brothers. In addition to basketball, she is an outstanding competitive swimmer. (She was a Section 3 champion in both swimming and basketball this year -- as a freshman).

What is wrong with syracuse.com writing an article about him having dinner with his daughter at 10pm on a Friday night? I understand he's a celebrity in Syracuse but c'mon I expect that out of US Weekly (if Syracuse had an equivalent) not the local newspaper.

What was the attendance? It looked like a good sized crowd.

That came across as a bit stalker-ish to me also.

I'm so glad the NC State fans had a terrible time and watched their season end. Go home and never come back, ya hear?

Pretty pathetic of the local newspaper to generate a story of negativity based on a few twitter comments. That whole operation is "dumpy".

Exactly.....Even had photo of JB having dinner with daughter syr.com is pathetic

Any word from visiting fans on how their viewing experience was at the Dome or on campus?

They didn't seem impressed with the Dome.

The concourse congestion is so horrific. It is the main reason I do not attend more than one or two basketball games each year. I cannot believe there are people that don't want a new dome.

I appreciate the quality of the picture. Was that taken with the first flip phone ever made w/ a camera?

Oy. Thanks. Can't say I'm surprised.

I can see some probably older people appreciating it for the throwback nature of the place - I would imagine anyone fairly young (that didn't grow up here) is going to be slightly shocked (disappointed) by the Dome.

I tend to get to the game early, and generally don't leave my seat more than once so I've never noticed this as much of a problem.

Sitting in the upper level for a highly attended football game is the only time I've noticed it being a problem, as it can take the entire halftime to get to the bathroom and back because it's so crowded. Never noticed a problem at hoops games or lesser attended football games.

 

[donniesyracuse]

I have always found basketball games to be worse since the entire crowd is relegated to half of the dome.
