Having attended this year's BET I have to say the league's trajectory continues up. In only the second year, the Friday night semifinals was back to the old electric atmosphere. Didn't go last night but given Villanova's crowd on Friday I'm sure it was similar. What little I've seen so far of the TV production has been top notch.
Some big steps this year by programs we need to be great. A new developing hated rival in Xavier. On court results that on the whole are as good or better than any conference in the country notwithstanding ESPN's talking heads' willful ignorance thereof.
Very pleased with the house our administration (and those of the other schools) has built. Nowhere to go but up.

Among the other reasons for feeling bad about Friday's game is that the Garden would have been insane with a Hoya/Nova final.
There were at least 15,000 fans last night and maybe 500 were from Xavier. It would have been a sellout if we were playing.

The Nova guys behind us Friday, while drunkenly pulling for UNC and ND wins, all said they were really hoping the Hoyas would win because of how good they thought the Hoyas were and because they knew a final against us would be insane.

And, somehow, I bet this won't be a big talking point today by any of the "analysts" covering the tournament because it doesn't fit their narrative. Keep it up Big East. They can't ignore you if you win.

Not the games at all, but how Jim Boeheim and Syracuse were getting screwed by the NCAA. Revolting on infinite levels!
