Those trips to Greensboro in March are going to be fun for your fan who makes the trip.
The ACC has been talking about rotating the ACC tourney through the Garden. Besides Syracuse will probably play St. Johns OOC in the Garden every year.
The ACC cant even sell out every day in Charolette why do you think they could sell out MSG and why would MSG believe they could sell out when they have a sure sell out with the Big East. Oh and SJU might not take that Cuse match up. They do just fine scheduling the likes of Duke, UCLA and many others in OOC play. They dont need the Orange as much as the Orange need them.
When Lavin was hired one of his goals was to cement SJU as NYC's team because he didn't like seeing the Cuse signs on cabs claiming it was "New Yorks Team". Blocking them from playing in the Garden would help him do that. Also help him recruit against the Orange. So in short playing Cuse doesn't help SJU at all.
Yup...SU needs SJU. No comment.
Have a nice day.
Yes you do. How are you going to recruit NYC when you don't play there? Yeah sure once every few years you'll play coaches vs cancer or some other OOC game but if you want to be in the Garden every year you need SJU. You think your next coach will be able to recruit NYC when they don't play there multiple times every year?
Do you ever do any research before you post?
Others have talked about the recruiting part of your nonsense already.
As for your point about SU not getting to play in the NYC...
Not counting BET games, SU has played (or will play) in the Garden 12 times during the regular season since 06-07. Only 4 of those 12 times (or one third, if you are math impaired) were against the Johnnies and in each of those 4 outings, there were more SU fans in the Garden then there were St. John's fans.
MSG will always have room for an SU game on their schedule each and every year. And as I have said in other threads on the syracusefan.com board, it doesn't even have to be against St. John's.
I'd like to see it be a rotation of UConn, Louisville, Kentucky, Notre Dame, Michigan State, etc. myself.
The only BE bb members I want to see us schedule on a regular basis are Georgetown (every year) and Nova at least 6 times every decade.
Eventually I foresee UConn becoming a conference opponent down the road.
Cheers,
