Providence (MSG), Sat., Feb. 1, 12 NOON, CBSSN

My wife thinks I'm *nuts* for paying attention to attendance/going on ticketmaster for a game I already have tickets for. Dunno if she's wrong. lol

Ticket availability slashed in half in the 100s/200s since I checked yesterday. Only 38 non-resale tickets available. They didn't open the 400s yet but did open both Chase bridges.
We may be married to the same person, I get the “nuts” call daily. 😇
 
He said we only do two things well. In his defense though, I think he meant that comment more as a criticism of his own guys, like they only needed to prepare for two things but couldn't even handle two. Obviously, we do quite a few things well and the commentators who keep saying the lack of 3 point scoring will be our downfall have been swallowing their "I told you so's" for 7 games. As I said earlier, if we gets considerably more possession per game, we can consider those misses as practice. The shooting will improve (It already has) due to more in-game practice.
I'm tired of hearing about the 3pt shooting. There's more than 1 way to win a game.

We lead the league in scoring, rebounding, points against, opponents fg%, point differential and rebounding differential!

I thought I was the only one. I check the tickets available for every game the days leading up to the game when I already have season tickets. My wife thinks I’m crazy for it as well and I can’t say I disagree.
 
I agree. Just kind of a pinch-me moment to think we can literally have 17k+ fans to an afternoon game against a unranked opponent (who's not good or exciting) without a large alumni base
Winning is a great equalizer. Being on the back page. Being ranked. I know a lot of people want to harp on AP Top 25 "doesn't matter" in the grand scheme of things, but they are just wrong.

It leads to this. And 17-18k in MSG does MATTER.
 
Does anyone know if there are a lot of free/giveaway tickets out for this game, as there was for one of our recent MSG games? I haven't seen a strong indicator that that's the case, and 18K+ against a crappy PC team would be incredible. Last year this game was on a Wednesday but it only drew 11.8K fans despite our solid 12-4 / 4-1 BE record.

The year before (CMA) we played #20 PC on a Saturday, and that game only drew 10.2K! The Johnnies being ranked is extremely important, and it's great to finally see the fan/financial proof of that.

It's the type of thing you need to get more games at MSG + weekend afternoon/evening time slots at MSG, as well as getting nationally televised more often. It's huge.

It's been mentioned here before but tickets to a St John's game are very reasonably priced when comparing to other NYC sporting events and really all other types of entertainment where prices have skyrocketed the past few years.
 
Interesting thing. Bentley Joseph was hotly persued by us before he decided to enroll at Providence. That is when we turned to Deivon. Providence is all about their guards. Shut down Joseph and Pierre and we coast.
