2017 Big East tournament thread - Thursday games

[ecasadoSBU]

Session II reported 17,324 in attendance today. That's impressive. The Big East is almost back to pre-2013 levels so far...

You don't want potentially non competitive games in the evening. Had Villanova been blowing away SJU in an evening game, America would be switching to watch the other leagues play. Fox would rather that happen in the afternoon, when few are watching anyway.

Huh? That doesn't make any kind of sense. You do know the ACC, Big 10, SEC, and Big 12 were also playing games during the same time today, right? So, people can't switch to other games during the afternoon?

Then why put the 7/10 winner on against the 2-seed at night?

Exactly! Once again, he didn't make any sense.

Butler up 3 w/6 minutes. Let's go X!

[Jet915]

That's 7 bids for the Big East!

[GumbyDamnit!]

Nice win X! Big one. Congrats.

Xavier did what they had to do. Gotta feel for these guys with what they've been through and be happy for them turning it around.

Just WOW! I think the guys figured some things out tonight and finally made the plays needed during "winning" time. I Love this conference.

[ecasadoSBU]

Wooow. This league is nasty. I think the league has locked 7 after tonight. Impressive

Goodness watching CU is actually painful at this point.
