Christina Pink is earning her paycheck over the next two days.

I'll be there tomorrow @ 4:30PM BABY!!!!!! My favorite time of the year. the garden becomes my second home for four days

To be honest. The least interesting game for me is the Xavier-Butler game as I have my Northeast biases. I do expect Xavier to win, however. So, rooting for the Muskies as our 7th bid.

The game I cannot wait for is the Johnies - DePaul game. Would to love to see the Johnies steamroll past DePaul. But I know DePaul won't be an easy out.

Also rooting hard for the Pirates of Seton Hall. I attended several games at the Rock this year. I want them to do well tomorrow until they hit a wall against the Huskies!!!

I believe it will be 4 days for her.
Studio coverage will also be live from MSG. Boy, did I miss life in 2019 and before.

Much of league will rooting for St. John's and Seton Hall, at least in terms of resumes, as they're both right on the NET cut lines.

St. John's is currently at 72, could a loss to DePaul drop them out of the top 75 and quad 1 road win status? I'd rather not find out, especially as a Seton Hall fan as it would remove a quad 1 win AND screw up our perfect quad 3+4 record. Of course, we still have one more chance to screw that up ourselves.

Seton Hall is currently at 32, does a win over Georgetown get them into the top 30? Not on it's own unless it's a special kind of blowout, but it gets them a shot at UConn which could do the job, maybe even in a close loss. Providence, Nova, UConn and Marquette (and less importantly, DePaul) all add a q1 win if it happens.

Villanova +150
UConn +350
Providence +475
Marquette +800
Creighton +1200
Seton Hall +1500
Xavier +2000
St. John’s +2200
Butler +5000
Georgetown +30000

Looking at Ticketmaster, it looks like other than today all the sessions are sold out or super close. Very great to see! Of course there are tickets on the secondary market. Thursday night is a tough ticket.

"Seven of the 11 teams are projected to make the NCAA Tournament. Up to five of these schools feel like second-weekend threats. Multiple programs playing in the first round are capable of reaching the final night.

The Big East Tournament is back this week at the Garden, and it promises to be four memorable days after it was canceled two years ago and played before few fans last March. It is the premier event this week in town, as the ACC Tournament serves as the junior varsity at Barclays Center compared to the superior Big East."


- Shots fired!
