BET Talk

It wasn't just him. Both Nova and Marquette put on atrocious displays of offense last night. They both had the same game "plan": Play 5 out, give the ball to somebody, hope he can create something for himself, and if not he can chuck up a contested 3 or pass to somebody else to do that. Unwatchable basketball. In the end Marquette had more talent (outside of Bamba who he refuses to use enough Nova really does not have much).

I felt that Providence would beat either of those teams and I think they will beat Marquette tonight. So it will be an old school, St John's v Providence final tomorrow

When Gus Johnson is critical of both game plans, you know things are bad. I know you were at the game, but that happened.

Love it ! Did the guy look like George Costanza?

On a related topic . I recall years ago that BE Tickets were sold on a Session basis . Afternoon session , Evening session .
You had to leave the building between sessions .
But , now I am confused .

Yesterday had the Afternoon and Evening sessions too. Did people have to leave the Arena after the SJU- SH game ?

Another question was I always bought BE Tickets for every game . It was the way they were sold .
Last night , for the Evening session , it was a completely different crowd . No Red Shirts noticeable . When I and my Group went to the BET back then , we went to every game , regardless of who was playing . Often ,we would be there from 12 noon until Midnight . Then off to Runyons , no longer there or PJ Clarkes.
Of course , we had midtown hotel rooms and took off from work those days . We did that for about 15 years until we moved away or retired , etc

I’m sure now the cost would be prohibitive to do that . Plus , I gather Midtown hotels are not crowded with BB fans these days .

The good old days were certainly that .

Still two sessions.

There’s separate tickets per session so after the SJU game, we left and came back for the 2 evening games with different tickets. I’ve gone to every session but I’ve seen different people around me each time. Back in the day, I felt like we became friends (or at least drinking buddies) with the people in our section. I guess lots of money to be made by selling tickets but I’m all about the experience. Honestly, Weds and Thurs evening sessions were great because I could just enjoy the basketball vs yesterday afternoon I wanted to vomit intermittently during our game….🤣🤣

We are pacing ourselves and sold last night and Wednesday but intended to go tonight regardless.

If I was on the same page as Gus then I know I'm on the right track. He's the best in the business (this does not include Fanta, he is in a category all by himself).
 
I think PC needed to win this especially with Tyler Kolek NOT playing.

Sunday is going to be interesing it is clear SJU should be the 4th BE team not sure now if they get a 5th (SHU or PC).

Bad job by Providence in the last three minutes.

I guess I will watch Utah State v San Diego State now.

They just ran out of gas. They seemed tired most of the night but are just too tough to quit. I think they would have been done earlier except Marquette made them mad in the middle of the second half when Jones got in Carter's face. That was an error on Marquette's part but they survived it. 3 games in 3 days is tough. At least tomorrow the two teams will have both had to do that.
