Congrats to Seton Hall for upseting 'Nova. Got a big lead early, kept it into half, held on til the end, and sink a 3 with 3.7 seconds left to win by 1. MSG seems to be going off today, don't think that needs to be a concern anymore. Crowds looked good last night from what I could see. Let's hope for some more exciting games and a good tournament to keep the doomsayers at bay. Louisville pummels Rutgers, 92-31. Still feel badly about our team? Well, yes.

Can the Big 10 rescind its offer to Rutgers? If the B1G could have rescinded its offer, it probably would have done so long ago. They did not flinch when the Mike Rice player abuse allegations became public last April, nor after Athletic Director Julie Hermann's past conduct at Louisville surfaced, nor after additional abuse allegations were brought against members of the football coaching staff. Instead, the B1G believes that Rutgers will provide a major entry point into the metropolitan New York marketplace, especially for the Big Ten Network. The B1G is wrong, because college sports do not have anywhere neat the impact of the professional teams, and it will find this out in future years.

I was at Madison Square Garden last night, and while there were certainly plenty of empty seats, I thought the attendance was comparable to recent years for a first day game. There were a good number of Georgetown fans. Creighton clearly has a great showing - one would hope it continues into the future, but I am sure their attendance is bolstered by the fact that they are so good this year.

Jay Wright should be fired He spends too much time on his attire, and not enough time on player development.

Great to see Hall and Providence moving on but not the best news for BE retaining MSG going forward with Hoyas Nova And SJ out. Now left with the New non-eastern BE teams in Creighton And Xavier. Not what the MSG expected or would prefer

I actually thought there were more Providence fans than St. John's fans in the Garden today. That really surprised me. Don't get me wrong, the resale value for the rest of my packet was virtually nothing. But I don't think the loss of St. John's fans changed a thing. The loss of Villanova, however...

Relax. Once Creighton finishes off DePaul tonight, half of Omaha will be at the Garden tomorrow.

What's the tourney record for most points? I suppose Kemba or someone who played 4 games might have it. But, I could see McBuckets scoring 100 points this weekend.

Yeah, not sure if it will make anyone feel better, but there's no way we were gonna' beat Dougie tonight. I know we D'd him up pretty good twice, but he's just in the zone. (By the way, I think I'll take the over on that 100.)

Good thing that they're all graduating, and that Creighton will have the next few seasons to look back wiShut uplly at the 2013-2014 season while the Bluejays are going 5-13 each year.

This brings up a good question, what does Creighton have coming in? Hopefully they can have a nice run in the NCAA's this year which would help them in future recruiting.

We really need Xavier to pull this one out to try to get them into the tournament.

We really need Xavier to pull this one out to try to get them into the tournament. Xavier-Providence final would be pretty ideal at this point. 4 bid league then. I think Seton Hall knocking off Nova put a lot of pressure on Providence now. They won the de-facto play-in game today, so that should get them in, but would a loss to Seton Hall push them right back to the bubble? It would at least re-open the discussion. Whereas if they had been playing and lost to Nova, it wouldn't really have hurt them at all. Now this kind of a must-win for them.
