Big East Championship 3/11/23

I would be shocked if MSG is basically not full.

Announcers have said it’s full. Turn to AAC game to see an empty building.

Considering the lack of interest reflected in secondary prices, the arena is mostly full and had a good buzz about it before Marquette blew the doors off the place.

Flabbergasted that Miller gave up so soon. Still managed to cut it to 13 with 3:22 to go with 3 starters staring from the bench. Bad look, but our 6 good players will be 100% next game.

Hard to understand, but huge props to Marquette for that National TV massacre and to a fantastic season. You guys are going to be WAAAAY higher than a preseason 9 in the fall!

Honor to share the floor with X tonight for the BET Championship. The game signifies incredible growth and development for the BE. A historic achievement for Marquette, and the hire of Shaka was transformational for the basketball program.

Good luck to everyone in the NCAAT. There'd be nothing better than seeing everyone in the second weekend. Man, I love this league.

Congrats Marquette brothers on a great season and BET, and same for Xavier too. Good luck everyone on Selection Sunday.

It was about 75% full. Marquette fans did get Uconn fan esque loud when they went on a run. Ill admit there was less buzz than a normal title game night but I still had fun. Glad the conference sold out every session. Only bad news with that, itll be harder to get all session tickets next year lol

Congrats Marquette. Helluva season so far. Your NCAA opponents don't know what they're in for...

Well there is certainly no debate on who the best team in the BE is this year. Nicely done MU. That D should give teams fits in the tourney—especially to those coaches that have to try to prepare for it in 2 days.

Ok, boys. Here’s your chance. For 10 yrs we’ve heard that the new BE was little more than Jay and Nova and and a bunch of good (not great) teams. Time to change that narrative. Need 3 in the S16, 2 in the E8 and 1 in the FF this year. The 5 dancing this year need to put on their big boy pants and make some noise. Nova Nation will be pulling for you.

Congrats to Marquette, clearly the best team in the BE this year. Hope we all have a great post season!

The Marquette defense... that home game vs then #6 Baylor back in the Fall...

There was a stretch of 10 minutes or so, mid 1st half, when Baylor could barely cross halfcourt, and when the did, they could not complete a pass. And i'm not exaggerating. 90% of their possessions, they couldn't get a shot off, and it wasn't due to shot clock violations. They just couldn't keep possession of the ball.

Congrats on winning the championship and doing so in such a decisive manner.

At least to me, it appeared that Marquette simply wanted it more than Xavier. You guys were laser focused. 10 minutes or so into the game, your defensive intensity and effectiveness was apparent for all to see.

Best of luck to our NCAAT teams. Just go deep. Let’s make some good noise.
