I went 2 years ago to the semis when we had a suite there. Before that I used to cut HS back in the mid 90's and me and my buddies would take the train in and watch the first day of games.

These next 3-4 weeks coming up are my favorite time on the entire sports calendar. Bar none.

About 20 of us season ticket holders will be at the Blarney Rock before and after each game this week. Win or lose we'll be there

I thought the ACC would do well in barclays and maybe even take away from some of the big east crowd, but that doesn't seem to be reflected in ticket prices.  barclays is a smaller arena, but you can still get tickets to the acc day games (including syracuse AND duke) for $6, maxing out at $200.  the big east day game with nova and seton hall starts at $29 (although only four tix at that price, most start at $40) and goes up to $700.  It might be the location, maybe it's easier for people to skip out of work for a few hours and head to MSG.  in fairness too, tickets are available for tonight's games for $6 at both sites. 

It looks like the big east will do alright this weekend, probably in large part thanks to Nova. let's hope there are some good games

Shamorie Ponds set St John's freshman scoring record, led league in steals. Big East coaches weren't impressed apparently #sjubb

Would love to see who voted for who. Just a guess here, but maybe Mullins peers are not fans

I guess the writing was on the wall once Patton was second team all Big East.  I just don't see how he had a better year than Ponds.
