Like I said though, with Stony Brook and any other coastal areas in the vicinity north or south shore, it takes 10 minutes+ just to go all the way north or all the way south via Nichols Rd., so it's not that Stony Brook is far east...it's just all the way north which adds time and makes it seem deceivingly far. Ronkonkoma is in the middle of the island right below SB and the same distance east of NYC. If you look on google maps from Ronkonkoma to SJ (Queens) is 45 min and 38 miles. It's quite close with no or light traffic. I used to have night classes and there was barely any traffic on the LIE eastbound on my way home. To go 38 miles in 40 minutes only requires an average of 57 MPH on the LIE which is completely doable considering the left lane averages 65-70 MPH with little traffic. If you talk to people in Nassau or Queens they will make it seem like exit 62 is Wyoming, but the truth is if you leave at an off hour, you can go from exit 62 to the Nassau border in 20 minutes, the Queens border in 35 minutes, and SJ in 40-45 minutes.

A couple of the suggestions on here amaze me, I wonder if some posters seriously follow college basketball?
It takes me less than an hour to get from downtown Port Jefferson to Parkway Village (Union Tpke and Main Street) in anything but rush hour/summer weekend traffic. The expressway distance from Nicholls Road to Utopia Parkway is 41 miles (forget about 347/Northern State being quicker anymore, maybe when I was a kid). About 10 minutes from LIE to SB campus.

A distinct possibility MSG might not want a ling term deal with this league? Who could possibly believe that.

Interesting info on the new hoops only league. Catholic 7 plus Xavier, Butler, and Creighton or Richmond. Look like they want to start with 10 teams. Marquette pushing for Creighton. Georgetown and others pushing for Richmond
