I used to be more concerned that the ACC would steal MSG from us, but after being there for the G'Town v. SJ game, I was very pleased. What does it say when you have 2 of the worst teams in the conference packing the Garden producing a raucous atmosphere? Even finishing 8th, there is so much buzz. I got back to work the day after the game and several people are talking about it..."did you see that fight?!". Just imagine if St. John's and G'Town were both ranked heading into the BET at the Garden. The energy from the 80's is still there just waiting to explode again. Other than Cuse, Duke, and UNC, who in the ACC could draw like that? Would 2 of the worst teams from the ACC draw like that? No way. It's just special...you look at the logo at midcourt we've been there for 35 years for the BET. We just sent 7 teams...70% of our conference to the NCAA's. Not sure you could ask for much more at this point.
