Thread: Big Tenelevenwhatever Tourney

    Big Tenelevenwhatever Tourney

    They are in DC this year and The World's Most Famous Arena next year. In the past they have not allowed alcohol at their tourney. Is that still the case? Seems to me it would be a terrible idea for MSG and really take away from the atmosphere. Does anyone know?

    Just flipped over to the Big Whatever to see the crowd. While an old school Big East kerfulle was breaking out at MSG, a Georgetown game from this year broke out in DC as dozens of people are there to watch Rutgers and Ohio State.

    I love the Big 10 tourney runaround...

    Jim Boeheim: "There is absolutely no benefit to having the conference tourney in Greensboro."

    Coach K: "There are a lot of benefits to having the conference tourney in Greensboro."

    Wasn't I just bitching about the favoritism that Duke & UNC get in the NCAAs? I know that Duke, UNC, NC State and Wake FOrest are all from North Carolina, but let's look at the history of the ACC tourney...

    1954-2020 the state hosting the ACC Tourney...

    North Carolina: 54 times
    Georgia: 6
    Maryland: 3
    D.C.: 2
    New York: 2
    Florida: 1

    Yeah, there is a lot of benefits to having the ACC tourney in Greensboro. Just ask the teams whose state has hosted it...

    Georgia & Georgia Tech (2)
    Syracuse (2)
    Florida State & Miami (1)
    Clemson (0)
    Virginia & Virginia Tech (0)
    Boston College (0)
    Notre Dame (0)
    Pittsburgh (0)
    Louisville (0)

    North Carolina is a central location with multiple arenas that can host an generate a great crowd.

    Is the Big East hosting every year at MSG a sign of St. John's favoritism?

    So you are comparing Greensboro to New York City? Got it.

    Huge difference...

    Madison Square Garden has always hosted the Big East Tournament.

    The ACC tournament has always moved around.

    54-66 - Raleigh
    67 - Greensboro
    68-70 - Charlotte
    71-75 - Greensboro
    76 - Landover, MD
    77-80 - Greensboro
    81 - Landover, MD
    82 - Greensboro
    83 - Atlanta, GA
    84 - Greensboro
    85 - Atlanta, GA
    86 - Greensboro
    87 - Landover, MD
    88 - Greensboro
    89 - Atlanta, GA
    90-94 - Charlotte
    95-98 - Greensboro
    99-00 - Charlotte
    01- Atlanta, GA
    02 - Charlotte
    03-04 - Greensboro
    05 - Washington DC
    06 - Greensboro
    07 - Tampa, FL
    08 - Charlotte
    09 - Atlanta, GA
    10-11 - Greensboro
    12 - Atlanta, GA
    13-15 - Greensboro
    16 - Washington DC
    17-18 - Brooklyn, NY
    19 - Charlotte
    20 - Greensboro

    So they have no issues moving it around, but prefer North Carolina as its been there 54 times and outside of North Carolina only 13 times.

    Mrs. Gato answered my initial question by searching the interwebs. I understand alcohol is now allowed at Big Tenelevenwhatever Tournament. They can imbibe in DC at this year's version.

    You'd have to to watch some of those Big Tenelevenwhatever teams this year.

    Well, the BET was in Providence, Syracuse and Hartford it's first 3 years. This is the 35th straight year at the World's Most Famous Arena though, so your point stands.

    I will be cheering hard to our former coach today. Seven Big Ten teams infesting the NCAA Tournament is enough (frankly, the tournament would be fine with Purdue, Northwestern, and Michigan as their representatives). Michigan looks to be dispatching of Illinois's faint hopes, and hopefully Indiana quells the ridiculous Iowa talk.
