I have been been very encouraged by his play recently. Maybe he can have a breakout senior year.

When I read this the time you posted I thought you were talking about the Bucks game at the Bradley Center. I see in highlights they were both at center court at MSG.

It seems like St John's lays an egg in the BET every year. Complete waste of home court for them.

By the sound of the crowd, didn't notice a home court edge.

Is there a more overrated program than St Johns.

Would love to see them go get Jamie Dixon. Would have to think he wants to get out of Pitt.

St Johns is making the tournament this year. Lavin isn't going anywhere.

And Pitt isn't by the way.

Problem for Lavin is that he is losing a ton to graduation/eligibility.

Right. Next year might be different. But people are talking like he's a goner. I don't think that's going to happen even after next year.

My point was that STJ has underachieved compared to the hype that Lavin brought when he came on board and he hasn't lived up to that hype. Yes, they are going to the Dance but are midling seed and it is unlikely they make it out of the first weekend.

And yes, I am aware that Pitt is not dancing. But it is known that Dixon was not a fan of the move to the ACC and might be willing to listen to offers from other schools and may in fact like the opportunity to get back to the Big East.

Dixon needs a new challenge, and I believe that he could do really well at St. John's. He has a strong history of recruiting New York area prospects.

He is a CA guy. Suspect he would go West...?

X pulls out the win, that locks them in, I think they were a lock even with a loss, but helps to cement it.

Lavin has definitely underachieved. His recruiting has been good, put a few players into the NBA early, though lost a few due to transfer as well. But the results just haven't been quite there. Two bids in five years, two games over .500 in conference play, while I realize those are results DePaul would kill for, St. John's should geographically be one of the league's top programs. Not sure if Dixon would come, but him or either Hurley would be an upgrade in my opinion.

Bummed that Raftery is doing the B10 game on the BTN while Jackson is doing the BE semi final.

Ya, me too. As you know Gus and Jim have been doing games together on FOX with the Pac-12 and Big East, so the chemistry is there. Glad that Raftery is on the A team on CBS.

Love Jay Wright saying there is no better place to play than the Garden. He and the other coaches are doing a great job of promoting the league.

OMG, OMG, WHAT A GAME!

We got the Gus effect going. Like Rob Stone said, the Big East is back.

While I agree with everything you said, I'll add that a person can flip on FS1 and feel the energy, buzz and roar of the crowd in MSG. My wife can tell from the other room when she hears the roar from the crowd.

Great game! Kris Dunn is a stud, I would be shocked if he's not off to the NBA. MSG looks packed. I am ready for MU to start making it to Friday and Saturday night!

Flipped over to UNC/Virginia after watching a great Big East Tourney game. Game was over and they were going through highlights. Reece Davis brings on Joe Lunardi to discuss #1 seeds with Virginia losing and Villanova advancing. First they show Villanova/Providence highlights, then they bring in Lunardi.

Reece Davis starts out discussing Villanova winning by saying, paraphrasing, "Joe, what does Villanova winning mean, granted the Big East tournament is not quite the same as it used to be." Why say that? So the ACC has average teams from 7 through 14, likely will get 6 of 14 teams in. Big East has a better conference RPI, a lock to get 6 of 10 teams in, and now the 3rd rated #1 seed......and Reece Davis has to throw in a "granted the Big East Tourney is not quite what it once was?" I just shook my head and laughed. Wish I was on Twitter so I could tweet Reece Davis. Let it go ESPN.

Watching the games makes me miss being at the BET. For those who haven't done it yet, do it. Hard to explain until you've been there
