Big East Tournament

I have to admit I'm surprised and maybe a little shocked.  I was on record numerous times and thought it wouldn't be hard for 10 schools to divvy up 1700 or so tickets each to 'sell out' the Big East Tournament.  Looks like they are spinning that tickets are available for the first time in years.

Six less schools, GT is down, SJU is down, and Creighton is kicking butt by I wouldn't consider it a sexy brand name yet...Also Butler, Creighton, and even Xavier are not that close to MSG.

Creighton sold the most amount of tickets in the quickest amount of time or something in BE history (including old schools).

SJU didn't burn thru their allotment.  Willing to bet the house DePaul and Hall didn't.  Also safe bet Gtown didn't.  Schools can't sell 1700 or 1800 tickets isn't good.

Give creighton a few more years and I think the casual fan will see a creighton vs anyone game...SJU needs to pull their weight in this conference.  Being a bottom feeder won't help..

True the rest of the team did not look good yesterday. As good as he was, creighton would not be as dominant without help from the rest of the team.

The BET will be wide open with a bottom seed having a legit shot at winning it.

They are usually better. They have guys who can make plays and know exactly what they need to do and where they need to be. It is something I ache for this team to have.
