I actually don't mind the Big East schools sharing MSG.  It can only help the league overall.  We have to do our part and win.

To add, I'd love to see Creighton play more at the Garden.  Their fans are very loyal and will travel (as evidenced by last year's BET)

Paultz agree we want better crowds, but I do think it still has a factor in recruiting, as every recruit seems to mention MSG as a positive.

Also, I don't believe we need to sell out the Garden for attendance to be deemed "solid".  8k-10k with energy makes for a pretty good environment.  Most college teams would not sell out the Garden at its full capacity.

Agree "solid" does not connote sold out.

If every team can play games at MSG whenever they want, then we lose a big recruiting pitch for local kids.    Why stay home and play for SJU if Georgetown has 5 games a year at the garden?

Nice for Marquette and the league. Local kid stays home even though Kentucky's knocking. Hopefully IB does the same.

Xavier in my opinion will be in top three in BE, well coached, some savy veterans & maybe top newcomer ;

@NewBigEastConf: #BigEast and #Xavier have to be excited about Trevon Bluiett's ridiculous debut: http://t.co/OqN0UWmkWA

@becb_sbn: Xavier soundly defeats Long Beach State 93-74. #LetsGoX

These guys will be in top three in BE for sure Imo. Bluitt is a stud.

@slrussell: .@TrevonBluiett led #Xavier with 20 points, a team-best 8 reb and 5 assists. Macura (17 pts), M. Davis (15), Abell (13), Stainbrook (11).

Creighton playing Oklahoma tough.  Tied with 1:40 to go on FS1
When you're a kid from New York and you do it in New York, that lasts forever!

Probably best newcomer in BE;

@JeffEisenberg: Xavier freshman Trevon Bluiett is off to a half-decent start. How about 18 ppg, 5.3 rpg and a 7-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio?

Do stats have any meaning at this point?  He had 7 assists and one T/O in three November games against non BE/ACC level competition.

He is a SF who coaches around the BE have noted is a steal for Xavier. Not saying anything is proven yet, but it seems likely he will be a top newcomer. For a kid who takes it to the hoop, he takes care of the ball. If he was on SJU I suspect we would be giddy about his prospects. Oh well. Btw, he had 16 points with no TOs v. solid Steven Austin team last night & is averaging  18 points a game on a good team with experience.
