Big East Tournament

[HallGuy2323]

Is it me or has it lost its luster? I feel it used to be a must watch. How many people actually watched the 1st round? Seems like the entire thing has been reduced to a best of 4. That doesn’t make for an interesting event.

The Big East needs to expand asap.

The tournament hasn't lost its luster, the teams have. It's simple. Outside of UConn and St. John's, the league just wasn't any good this year.

It's still the best conference tournament. I bet the attendance numbers hold up when you look at Wednesday to Saturday. Some of those early week games in major conferences are ghost towns typically.

That’s a good point. And yes they are. It’s just another result of mass conference realignment. More self ruination

Sold out arena for the quarter finals. Haven't followed other big conferences, but 19 plus thousand fans in the house is pretty good. Mid major conferences draw flies to their tournaments.. It will be interesting to check out the TV viewership.... and compare those games on Peacock and the other networks. I don't think that helped TV viewership.

When the sideline reporter referred to it as the Big 10 Tournament in Pitino’s post game interview I couldn’t believe it. Good for Pitino for correcting her on air.

The league got the best line up possible for attendance Thursday and Friday . That doesn’t mean the level play equaled the attendance.
