Big East - Round 2

[Goose85]

Incredible slate of games for Day 2. Just shows the depth and quality of the conference when on day two of the conference tournament 7 of the 8 teams playing have a great shot at being in the NCAA tourney. And the one that doesn't is playing a home game.

Nova sticking it to SJU. Quick turnaround for the Jonnies from last night.

Mcilvaine posted a picture of the game being sold out. That's a very good sign. I didn't think there were sellouts until the semis usually.

When I looked at tickets the other day, there was just a smattering of seats in the nosebleeds that were for sale at Ticketmaster, not as resale tickets.

Great to hear, especially for a 10 team league.

Great to hear, appears well attended on TV. For the 10 schools of the BE, this is our football. The most important sport. Combine that with NYC and MSG, why shouldn't attendance be good. Having the defending national champion (a #1 seed) and several tourney teams helps as well.

Good one. Xavier and Butler tied at 49
