Thank you @CuseJacket
The Tech-Louisville game will be the nightcap of an opening-round triple-header.
Here's to getting the chance to play again Wednesday night at 9:30.

A friend who lives in the East Village ventured over the East River to watch his alma mater (Georgia Tech) play in the ACC Tournament. He assumed they would win game one, so he bought tickets for Tuesday and Wednesday. His only comment about the game was that more people might have seen the game live if they had played in Oriental (pop.900). Maybe GSO is not such a terrible place after all.

Sure. But conversely, teams from the northeast had a better turnout in Brooklyn.
Be interesting to see 'Cuse vs. Duke turnout today. The color of the stands will look a lot different than a game in Greensboro (though the game outcome will be no different).

Without Buddy this might be ugly.

Cuse fans were probably biggest crowd yesterday. Only thing I could see making them decide to bail on today is Buddy's bonehead move ending his tourney play. I don't see how they win without him.
That said, I bet they'll be there in force.

With Buddy, it's been ugly twice.

Yeah, but that win yesterday had the arena feeling like the whole Cuse fan base had injected heroin. Hope they figure it out though, because **** dook.

You must not have been around during the Dean Smith days. He had the head of officials, Barikat(sp?), in Greensboro on speed dial. Notice you don't see over the back calls anymore. Dean came up with the "principle of verticality". The art of the flop was brought to a new level under Dean. Kuester used to wrap his arm around the guy he was closely guarding and pull him down on top of him to get a charge. I have to give Dean credit though. I didn't like him but respected what he was able to do.

It is somewhat remarkable that the fans have turned out at all. This year's team is bad by any 'Cuse standard (first losing season ever under Boeheim, assuming the L today).
I miss the MSG days, and the good Cuse teams. It would be a crack + heroin crowd.

The old Big East was loaded with good teams and great coaches.
They're not the only ones.

I hope @dtm1997 and @CuseJacket chime in with their thoughts regarding NYC as a tournament location. Here is mine:
When the original Big East was formed, it included Providence, St. John's, Georgetown, Seton Hall, UConn, Boston College, Pitt, Villanova and Syracuse. That was the best basketball conference, top to bottom, in the country. I was working at Bell Labs in NJ when the tournament moved to MSG in 1983. That first year in the Garden and it was crazy wild and full of St John's fans.
When you look at the coaches in the league at that time it's no wonder the basketball was great.

Well, this is not the ugly I expected. Duke stinks at the half and trails by four. Maybe there is a God after all.
