Day 1-12,604
Day 2 afternoon-14,863
Day 2 night- 13,813

Right on pace from last year. Unlike other tournament attendance, Big East fans are actually showing up to the games.

I thought so as well for most of the season. With the development of Giannis as a primary ball-handler, and if the Bucks luck out with a high pick, I would consider Buddy Hield.

Giannis may never develop into a consistent outside shooter. Giannis, Hield, Middleton and Parker would be a nice group at the 1 to 4 positions and improves the team's ability to stretch the floor offensively. Hield had 38 the other day against Iowa State. He is seasoned and ready to contribute from day 1.

Thanks MUPanther.

Rise and fire! The Gus effect is going on!

Bentil fouls out and Providence goes on a 15-3 run

Villanova 55 Providence 53

Watching this, it looks like one Big East tradition carried over: there is something special about the Friday semis. Something every MU fan needs to experience

Very true. While many schools have left and other great ones have came in. The juice is still there!

17,130 attendance for the semi-finals. By far the highest in the new form Big East.

This was like the old BIG EAST. The place was juiced tonight. The Championship game is not as good but Seton Hall vs Villanova might surprise. As fan bases, they are polar opposites and don't really like each other--well, Seton Hall fans hate Villanova. Street fighters vs patricians.

I think having Seton Hall in the title game for the first time in 23 years, will result in many more fans coming to MSG.

A lot of Seton Hall fans there tonight. After the game, the band and a throng of Seton Hall fans had a pep rally outside the Garden. It was actually pretty cool. There are a lot of Villanova fans in town but if more Seton Hall fans come in together with the group they had here for the semis, it could be pretty raucous.
