I said "seemingly". Obviously time will tell, but the last 3 games they have looked night and day from the start of the season. And I don't care about Butler Until Saturday at 4pm. This team can't look ahead. Hofstra has two really good players in Thomas and Dubar, All conference type players. Luis' defense will help given his size and length. Keep building confidence

I agree that we shouldn’t look ahead to Butler but if this team can’t handle Hofstra then something is very wrong.
 
CA is a joke, which is why Pitino didn't want to play there. But it's much better than a 2/3 empty hockey arena.
Once again: "Variety is the spice of life." I like to go see us in 4 different local venues, and perhaps travel to an away game or 2 if it works. The 2/3 empty hockey arena is a brand spanking new state of the art venue with great public transportation accessibility. Plus, it's in the same borough - Queens. It's a natural fit. Only one thing can fix the attendance problem and that's on the program. I'm not surprised that people don't go to our games - I'm amazed at the resiliency of any one that does.
 
Pitino has a connect with Lou Lamoriello, who hired him at PC, making scheduling games at UBS very easy.

Funny how Alumni Hall/CA has been ragged on for years, referred to as a HS gym. Now we want more games there.
say what you want about Carneseca, but it’s a real home field advantage.
 
It might be a high school gym but it’s our high school gym 🤣
And of course our local restauranteurs on Union Turnpike are enraged at the diminished business. Me too. I used to make it a point (in the post-Dante era) to patronize each eatery ar least once a season. No longer possible…
 
I've always enjoyed watching games at CA as I feel it's a true home court advantage as fans are on top of the opposition. Even more so when it's a packed house and we have a decent-to-good team.

In my younger days , I had season tickets for the Mullin - Berry years . I forget the Section I sat in but , I had to walk up stairs and then sit on the hardest Bleacher type seats designed by the Marquis de Sade .

The Seats were on team side of the Gym .
I took my Son to a game , shortly after he had injured his knee skiing .

I asked for Handicap Assistance and I think they got us a Wheel Chair to stand / sit behind one of the Baskets . I wonder if Handicap Assistance has improved ?

Also, that game, for some stupid, was not on the season ticket. The UBS games this year are.
because it was part of the B12 vs Big East tournament, those tickets aren't included - just like the BC game at Barclays this year etc

I'm not judging the validity of the Kansas decision, but just like the Big Ten challenge there is nothing stopping the "home" team from including the tickets in season ticket packages for the B12 week. As an example, the West Virginia game in CMAs first year was included. My guess would be that since the Kansas game was a one-off in an arena just opening SJU didn't think it was worth it to try and figure out where to place season ticket holders. But that's a guess, I was not part of the decision-making process and never discussed it with anyone who was.

I think bc of covid messing everything up, the year prior was supposed to be a road game vs Texas Tech that got cancelled. So they had Kansas as the home team for this one and therefor it's not part of the package? I may be off here
