Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Tonight are the awesome Friday night semifinals... it doesn't get any better than this...!

Providence vs Villanova, 6:30pm, FS1.
Seton Hall vs Xavier, 9pm, FS1.

These teams split games during the regular season.
Nothing more to add...!

2 BE COY's and a NCOY coaching.
1 BE POY
1 BE Defensive POY
1 BE 6th Man of the Year
1 BE Most Improved Player
5 1st Team All-BE Players
4 Unanimous 1st Team Selections
1 2nd Team All-BE Playing
2 Hon Mention BE Playing
2 All-BE Frosh Playing
2 Wooden Award Finalists

Top 4 teams in conference. Tons of star power. Out of the 4 teams, 11 players and 3 coaches recognized for excellence. All 4 teams will most likely be wearing white in their first tourney game, and each can make a legitimate run in the tourney. Big lights of NYC. Huge crowd.

This is what the BE College Administrators had in mind when they formed this league.

Awesome post.

The Garden is going to be jumping tonight. Did anyone else see that tweet from ESPN about the Big East tourney still being the best and then being quickly deleted?

Yea. On top of that, ESPNU was airing "Requiem for the Big East" during the Nova-Georgetown game.

Tonight is going to be awesome. I encourage all fans of the big east, even if your team is out, to come and take in what this conference has become. Going to be a fun night

As noted on the top, the game start is a bit earlier than in years past. Pre-game on FS1 starts at 6pm ET

Maybe we should run a program entitled "Requiem for ESPN" on Fox lite during the BE Tournament.

Almost heading out to MSG. I hope these games turn out as fun as they were last night.

I hope they're as much fun as the semi's last year.....
