Well that's one less BE team that has a shot at a bid now...

Isaiah Whitehead. Top ranked SG. Big East has 5 schools in Scout's Top 25 recruiting classes for 2014. Georgetown(10), Seton Hall (12), Xavier (14), Marquette (20), Providence (21). Good news for the conference.

Georgetown fans brutal about John Thompson on the way out. Want him fired etc. Irony if Oliver Purnell got John Thompson fired.

More evidence that fans are nuts. How long ago was it that he lead them to the Final Four? And they did win the Big East last year, right?

The concept of fans being rational must be a utopic ideal. That program was wasting away in mediocreville when JTIII took over, and has consistently been excellent save for some March unluckiness. I know the Georgetown administration is far smarter then many dumbass fans, but they deserve decades of struggling if they remotely think of firing JTIII.

To be fair, the core guys on the Final Four team were Esherick's recruits.

A great regular season coach. Can't figure them out in March, though.

Since Final Four run in 2007, NCAA record is 2-5 with all 5 losses coming to double digit seeds. I have always said the only guy that could every stop Greg Monroe in college was JTIII.

Georgetown out of the BE Tournament will mean a hit in attendance as Hoyas fans head to the bars and DC. All DePaul brought to NYC was the band and cheerleaders.

They have 6 or 7 fans. Please don't exaggerate.

I think they can do better than JTIII and actually don't think it would be a bad move at all to let him go. Not sure the Princeton offense is an appropriate offense to be running with the athletes they recruit to that school.

Are there many teams that successfully run a pure Princeton offense any longer? It seems to me that as more schools have run it, that it's become easier to defend. 20 years ago, when Princeton was upsetting UCLA in the first round, it was more of a novelty.

After last night, I'm convinced the Big East should have made Big John Thompson the commissioner of the league. Someone want to tell him the ACC wants in the Garden? Good luck with that!

His interview between games was funny, and the comment during the second game saying that JT3 is "his mother's son" was hilarious.

Hizzoner was say drinking, just not with that one particular group.

The Fightin' 218(tm) ban on show tunes applies solely to geographic presence 218. It's settled law (subject to arbitrary and unilateral alterations by The Mayor, of course).

He was pretty friskie in that interview wasn't he? He was giving some nice props to McDermott.

I thought he was kind of a bully as a coach, but I was impressed with his NBA tenure as an analyst - thought he was very good.

Does he still have that local radio show?

Does the show tune ban apply to MSG? Please dear God.

I wonder if he stopped in the gift shop on the way out and picked up a straw tophat , cane, blue blazer and saddle shoes. Loser.

G-Town really did not run the true Princeton offense this year. Looked more conventional.

FWIW Hizzoner has not yet entered the Garden. Matinee perhaps?

Not really comparing apples to apples. Would be interesting to see what the acc attendance numbers would be in msg.

Good crowd today. It is apples to apples. Driving distance for most ACC schools. Easier to get there.

ACC has contracts for the next two years (Greensboro in '15, DC in '16). After that ???

Fact is that the conference considers Carolina their home. I could see a potential move to NYC every 4-5 years, but no more frequently than that. I would think the people who run the Garden would be happier with an every-year booking than what the ACC would offer.

Greensboro is the long time home for the ACC. There had to be 2,000 in the crowd for gt-bc game.

Agreed. I was going to say, it is not like MSG in NYC is a short trip for Creighton, Depaul, Butler, Xavier, Marquette fans. That is half the conference.

That flop by Pinkston is one of the most blatant I've seen. Diving should be a technical, especially when it's that clear.

Seems as though people are discounting the impact of having it in the MSG has on fans deciding to attend - this is why imo it's not an apples to apples comparison.

If it's truly apples to apples than we might as well put the BEAST tourney in Philly as it would be more centrally located to people and "easier to drive to" as the MSG doesn't increase probabilities of attendance by this logic.

Can't truly compare the two as apples to apples unless you know what the attendance #'s would be for ACC in MSG.

Jeez...I go to eat a quick breakfast and come back 3 game minutes later and SHU's 9-point lead is gone. WTF Pirates?

Trying to milk the shot clock and it's not working. Also, fatigue may be setting in...?

Is it me or is the baseline Big East sign bothering anyone else? When a player walks on it, it looks like they are going to walk into a stand.

Gotta say, these are a great first three games. I really hope some people are watching, this has been a great BET so far.

LOL they use those ads for European soccer games so I'm used to them. Definitely understand the consternation, I used to freak out when I saw guys careening toward them full speed.

I don't know if the Mayor should be allowed to post since he skipped a day of games to attend a musical.

Maybe impeachment proceedings should be considered?

Skipping the DePaul Invitational is a sign of intelligence
