Good.  I prefer Alumni hall games.  The two hours plus without alcohol is rough but I like the easy LI access.
  Join Red white and you can have alcohol at CA

Is that true?

Yes, they have a full bar in the room.  You have access before the game, at half and time in the end.

Only 3 at MSG.  You were right according to this thing.

Second week of January should be fun, with Gtown and Nova at MSG back-to-back, the latter on a Saturday night (Rangers play the Ice-landers at 1 pm that day, that's how we got the night game).

They've taken the schedule off the site now, but odds are what we saw earlier was correct.

Very nice to see that Opening Night against New Orleans is on Friday 11/10, should make for a fun way to start a wknd. Between Orlando, AZ/LA, and the day trip up to CT, this team has to win on the road this Fall in order for the Winter to be fully enjoyable, bottom line. We need to have a strong OOC record.

The Garden highlights of the season for ticket holders are Duke on Superbowl Saturday and Villanova on a Saturday night in February.

Carnesecca hosts 4 terrific night matchups throughout the Big East season. Hosting Providence on the Thursday of holiday week should be a great atmosphere, as should JAN-FEB 830P/9P tip times for Creighton, X and Butler if the season has momentum. CA could prove to be a valuable homecourt advantage this season bc we all know how that place could get rocking on Winter nights with a good team.

Good to see that there are 3 BE Saturday road games that are all driveable. (@Hall 12/31, @GTown, 1/20, @Prov 3/3). I'll be hitting the pavement for sure.

Do you like the severe back pain that stays with you for a week .

Home schedule is almost as bad is the defense we play. Beyond embarrassing. We are becoming DePaul. 2 garden games where we will give up 200 plus points in front of nova and duke fans. I have not missed to many home games in 20 years, maybe alumni hall was a great atmosphere in 1985. That was a long time ago.
We have some good players. No toughness. No rebounding. No defense. Now almost no garden.

I love when we play in the Garden and attend all those games, but I went to two games at Carnesecca last year with a bunch of guys (non-alums, so their first time) and we thought it was a fun atmosphere.

That is not true.

2/10 open and 2/28 are open at MSG.

Grammys are closing MSG from 1/21 to 1/30

School is losing money by playing games at MSG with less than 10,000 paid tickets sold.   Xavier, Creighton, Depaul, Marquette would all draw under 10,000 so makes no sense to play them.  ALso, looking for a home court advantage that we did not get at MSG.

I agree this will be a help this year- better home court advantage.

I get that people would like more msg games but hard to justify paying for msg when it's half empty. As someone else said I really think that's the big reason we are only playing their 5 times total. If we are going to play more games on campus moving forward we definitely need a new or hugely upgraded facility. The problem now is msg is one of the best arenas in the country and CA is a dump so playing less games at msg upsets everyone.
