Someone earlier made a good point about the Big East Tournament being more important perhaps because of the earlier imbalance for the conference with so many teams. That’s a very fair and good point to make.
Winning the regular season championship, especially in a conference like the BE, is a major achievement, period, end of story. But it is what it is with MSG and all the hoopla. So be it. Let’s go for the trophy!

There are 5 trophies in play for Seton Hall most years (6 if you include the NCAA Regional) and I obviously want all of them, but 2 are just at another level for me.

Actually, a couple of folks made the point irt the unbbalanced schedules...one went so far as to speak to the BET as the final arbiter of "who's best"...back in the day. (that was the other guy.)
Thanks for the acknowledgement.
