Obviously the Big East Tournament and regular season games at St Johns are no longer a thing for us. But even if you control for those, we still play at MSG way less than we used to. Between the 2001-02 and 2018-19 seasons, we played non-conference games at MSG the following times:

2001-02: Michigan State, Wake Forest (2)
2002-03: Memphis (1)
2003-04: None
2004-05: Miss State, Memphis, Oklahoma State (3)
2005-06: Texas Tech, Florida (2)
2006-07: Oklahoma State (1)
2007-08: Ohio State, Washington (2)
2008-09: None
2009-10: Cal, UNC (2)
2010-11: Michigan State (1)
2011-12: Virginia Tech, Stanford (2)
2012-13: Temple (1)
2013-14: None
2014-15: Cal, Iowa (2)
2015-16: None
2016-17: UConn (1)
2017-18: UConn (1)
2018-19: UConn, Oregon  (2)

But then it just falls off a cliff.

2019-20: None
2020-21: None (Covid)
2021-22: Villanova (1)
2022-23: None
2023-24: None
2024-25: None
2025-26: None

Taking the BET completely out of the equation, in 18 seasons between 2002-2019 we played [B]23[/B] non-conference games at MSG. In the following seven seasons, we will have played [B]one [/B]non-conference game at MSG.

Does anyone have a logical explanation why we have conceded our presence at the country's most high profile college basketball venue in our home state to the rest of the college basketball world?
