Message: [QUOTE="NKR1978, post: 1050789, member: 186"] I've been to the BET when we've played UConn and we had more fans there in 09, 11 and 12. The streets and bars before all those games were filled with Syracuse fans. That's likely because Syracuse fans largely live in the City whereas UConn fans largely had to come in on Metro North. If we had done our job and beat Dayton we would have owned MSG and our fans would have outnumbered theirs by far. UConn is a huge get. It makes sense now that football is shored up to go after a flagship state university that will bring in cable boxes. I do fear that the ACC will miss the boat on UConn, but I don't think UConn being in the B1G hurts us. Syracuse/UNC/Louisville/Duke/ND/Virginia in an ACC Tournament would be bigger draws than Michigan/UConn/MSU/Indiana. Rutgers doesn't count. They never brought anyone to the BET. I don't see why they would start bringing people to a B1g tournament in MSG. [/QUOTE]
