I would try flushing. Should have rooms between 150 - 225 and is walking distance to lirr. only 10 mins from LGA so most hotels have a free shuttle to the airport so you save 2 urbers. Some of the best chineese and korean food in the country is a plus.

Don’t know if you’re still in Flushing area JS but looking at Port Washington schedule it looks like not all the trains stop at Broadway, Murray Hill and Flushing Main Street. Some go right from Bayside to Woodside. Was surprised to see that as I took LIRR to work for many years from Murray Hill, Flushing.
 
Kew Motor Inn and subway to city. I heard it's a nice place.

:)

Seriously, plenty of good options given here. Enjoy our city and the game. You must be a great fan so have a terrific time.

P.s. if you ride the subways stand in middle of platform till the train pulls in. Only talk to lunatics if they are wearing Johnnies gear.

Ask for the Donald Manes Presidential Suite.
 
Wanna thank everybody who responded for recommendations. Sorting through all those and trying to figure out what is best. Everybody’s advice big or small has been great. Me and the wife usually attend multiple road games a year and knowing it’s probably the only time I’ll ever see Bama play in MSG, it’s too great of an opportunity to pass up. Look forward to being back in the city and watching a great day of basketball. There will not be many bama fans in attendance as most people’s main attention will be on LSU coming to Tuscaloosa for the game of the day in college football that same Saturday, but I am pumped to see basketball in person and finding a tv later that night to watch football.
Thanks for everything. I have nothing but good things to say so far about your fan base.

Hell, we will buy you and your wife a drink! Great basketball fans are special. Welcome to NYC!
 
Let's face it, by and large, red.fans are college BB fans first and foremost, college FB is a bit of an afterthought for those of us raised in the concrete jungle. Alabama I think of as a football first school. So for this Tide fan to register here for advice on coming to NYC for a college BB game the same day as his team plays LSU in football is very cool. Then again Alabama BB has had its moments and lately even more so.

I applaud all those who offered him suggestions and him for his grateful reply. He seems like a really good guy and a college BB nut, just like us.

I'd go with my own suggestion if I were him, but any of these options are good ones.

Enjoy the game BBguy800 and if you stop by Section 114 top two rows, you will definitely get a free beer!

Good job guys. I'd much rather us have a reputation as great fans who are welcoming to visitors than damned Yankees who are AHs.

I want us to be every opposing team college fan's 2nd favorite team. Small kindnesses help.

Plus, I for one am now extremely invested in where he decides to stay. I think he was giving 15+ options. Hope everything works out for his trip.
