I am going with a few friends on wednesday. Got some seats behind the hoop like 10 rows back like 20 each

Will likely be there just waiting to clear one work conflict.

I will be there Wednesday and all week with 3 St. Johns buddies of mine....this will be my 13th year going to the semis and finals as well...Hopefully its lucky number 13 to finally see St. Johns on a Friday night!! =)

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'll try to stop in for a drink. 

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

Ponds snubbed. Patton great but BE stats not that amazing

Must have been Justin Patton's last 3 games for flailing Creighton - 4,8, 11 points scored

Who votes on these things?

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