2025 BIG EAST TOURNAMENT
- Thread starter Knight
- Start date
Why does GO JOHNNIES sound fine, but GO PETEYS sounds terrible?
Since the MSG games at the BET are now neutral court games, do we lose things like, intros, scoreboard, announcer, etc., home court advantages???
Anyone know.
Anyone know.
nope none of that but we do get to where the home whites all tournament
Still whether contract or not, quite dumb to put #1 seed on tv at 12 noon on a lesser watched network no matter who #1 seed is! Seems like a dream come true for ESPN! Its about amount of eyeballs, nothing more! Less eyeballs less revenue!
I think the St Peters fans would like to yell “ Go Cocks “ but , the Jesuits would frown on it .
Maybe they just don’t yell anything at their games .?
Gives top seed the advantage by giving them the maximum rest time before the next days game. Plus 1 vs 8-9 winner usually not the most competitive gave anyway.
What’s funny is 4 of our most competitive games have come against Prov and Butler lol
Just watching the 1986 SJU/Syracuse Championship Game because I’m probably crazy. Only 9 teams in the ‘86 Tournament. The comparison to the “game” today is wild. A 45 second clock! No 3 point shot. SJU down 11 at the Half. Bob Ley, ESPN incorrectly talks about how surprising the Syracuse 13 point lead was missing that Mark Jackson hit a jumper at the Halftime buzzer.
SJU quickly cuts the lead in the 2nd Half . Never great to trail but the three has made deficits feel more surmountable. They really had to work to close ground the way Pearl played early. Hopefully, we don’t have to worry about deficits in the 2025 version.

We'll say to teams that if you don't like it.
Beat me if you can, survive if I let you.
Yup and wouldn’t mind a blowout victory this time around against either team.
Unsung hero, Marco Baldi with 6 crucial points during the second half comeback.
A little too close to Go Pedos ?
frankly I'm not thrilled about playing either one of these teams
cue up the RP will of course have them focused counterargument but it's fair to say SJU struggled for long stretches against both, and will head into a RELATIVELY subdued 12:00 sleepy start having played one game in 11 days. I actually feel better about the semis on a raucous Friday night regardless of the opponent.
Pearl was a magnificent college player
Overlooked to a large degree in Big East lore

Publicity is great, gets us more exposure, potential recruits see. There's so many positives.
Not holding it against them.
I'm the type that I just want to practice and work on my game.
I'd do something but would rather wait until after winning the NC.
What does this mean?!?!
Unfortunately, the environment has changed. This exposure is helping with NIL, which is required immediately, especially when you see the timeline for kids hitting the portal.
There is no more just focusing on the basketball season and then go into recruiting season. They are both intertwined now.
Also, it isn’t like they interrupted practice for this. They took a team bus into the city for an afternoon.

Players are even more interested in SJU now.
And the players will be talking about the experience for years.
