Maybe, an exaggeration, but who knows.... Amazing how they show up for recruits, but can't do so for Pirate basketball games.

‏@AdamZagoria I'm told there are 300-350 Seton Hall fans here at Mary Kline for their quartet of recruits

I'm sure there are quite a few of folks in attendance (in the above pic), per the group below (just for you, maher).... ;)

@JonRothstein: Providence will play Miami and Manhattan will face Fordham in a doubleheader at the Barclays Center on 12/22/14, source told @CBSSports.

@UndercoverFriar: In a short span of a few weeks, Providence's OOC schedule will include Notre Dame, Florida St, UMass, and Miami on nuetral courts. #pcbb
 
Wow, it's been 13 years for Wright. No reason we can't at least match if not exceed that consistancy.
 
@JonRothstein: Georgetown and Indiana will play a neutral site game at Madison Square Garden on Saturday December 27th, 2014, sources told @CBSSports.

I wonder if Indiana really understands how "neutral" a site MSG is for Georgetown. :)
 
"No Big East expansion
The Big East has tabled any expansion talk and clearly won’t be growing beyond 10 members anytime soon. The reasons are simple: 10 is the perfect basketball scheduling number, the 10-member Big 12 has shown that that number of schools can work splendidly in hoops, and TV partner Fox isn’t demanding any change in inventory.
What PC’s Driscoll says the league is planning on doing is juicing up Fox’s offerings in the nonconference portion of the season. The recently announced Gavitt Tipoff series with the Big Ten is a great start, and sources said Fox was working to broker a similar partnership between the Pac 12 and Big East.

“Instead of expanding, we want to emphasize playing more high-profile games that will help us with TV and get more teams into the NCAA Tournament,” Driscoll said.

The Big East isn’t too small to succeed in basketball. It just had a very average first season with only four teams — Villanova, Creighton, Xavier, PC — making the NCAA Tournament. But Georgetown and Marquette won’t stay down for long. The 10-school Big 12 offered the perfect template last season by finishing first in the RPI with seven top-50 teams and earning seven NCAA bids."

@GaryParrishCBS: Former Big East rivals Georgetown and Syracuse have reached a deal on a four-year home-and-home series that starts in 2015-16.
 
Juding by Boeheim's comments either us or Nova will play Syracuse in 2015-2016 not both of us.

I doubt Syracuse would want to play both us and Georgetown on road in 2015-2016 interesting to see how this plays out.

I would think we would want a marquee home game that year with Duke being on the road.
 
The below link is to a story detailing Georgetown's construction of the new $62M "Thompson Center" practice facility to be used by its men's and women's basketball teams.

Its great to see Georgetown stepping up with dollars and administration support of its athletic programs. Given Coach Thompson's fine recruiting during the 2014 and 2015 recruiting cycles (one 5*, five 4*s and two 3*s during the 2014 and 2015cycles) it appears that G'town is making a real effort to remain relevant in big time men's basketball.

Your right Otis. I hope SJU invests some money in the basketball program. Maybe if we are fortunate enough, a supporter of the program could donate money to build a great practice facility.

Oh wait...

17 million spent in NY vs 62 mill outside of NY which facility is going to be much more impressive. Not that I give 2 sheets but these full of themselves recruits usually do. And of course when someone praises another program the defenders of the shield immediately see it as a knock against our program and jump to the defense. Hope you didn't hurt yourself leaping up but kudos for beating your brethren to the punch Happy Fathers Day!

Are you always so miserable? Or are you just this way when you have nothing else to occupy your time untill college football season.

Oh and I didn't get any boo-boos from jumping the line in a frantic race to be the first to beat on a breathren (as you call it). But I hope you waited patiently outside Otis' house for his instructions on what type of compound to use on his car. Wax on. Wax off.
