By the way, we're in Section 119. Gotta have lower level at the angle.

[pimpinthebox]

In. Let's roll (at least a couple anyway).

[blueblob06]

Wow, seats are as low as $3 on VividSeats, and some lower level for under $20? Wow! I guess it is the 7 vs 10 and 8 vs 9 games. But still!

What section are we in?

[gladdenguy]

Could you guys bring home 2 wins.......1 at the bare minimum. 3 would be spectacular.

I expect nothing less than 4 wins!

Bought tickets for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I'm feeling lucky.

If you're feeling lucky, why not Saturday?

[SemajParlor]

Quick friendly tip : Especially for Wednesday and possibly Thursday... If you're up for it I'd recommend buying the cheapest lower bowl tickets and going from there. MSG security usually won't let you get down there without them. However once you're in the lower bowl it's often times a free for all. A 930 on a Wednesday night vs DePaul I'd imagine they'll be some very rare and great seating opportunities at the Worlds Most Famous Arena.

A lot of pressure on the folks going to MSG. They have to surpass our stellar outing in Omaha.

A Thursday win and a stubhub purchase will be made.

[Muskie]

I'm in. My day looks mostly like MOR's. Someone's gotta keep him from spending the night in lockup.

[xuinmd]

Which sections did x get for the games? Thanks

We got our seats through X but we're in 210.

[Muskie]

There's this weird ribbon thing they do with seating to even out the crowds.

Don't worry, MOR has my number on speed dial.

4 of us are in 115 Row 19, and another 4 are in 119. They were supposed to put us in the same section in back to back rows but screwed up.

[American X]

I have assigned MOR to go to Chinatown to get some knock-off three point shooting. It will soon fall apart at the seems, but no one will know the difference for the next couple days.

I have also tasked xeus with disappearing Marcus Foster. Drop on corner in Harlem or stick on 1 train to the Bronx, both work.

Report back when done.

Public reps since the man is keeping me down!

Been a great ride so far. I've been to a lot of venues and heard so much about MSG being "The Mecca". Gotta say, it has lived up to the hype. Probably helps that my squad is 2-0 thus far.

For anyone wondering about fan attendance, it's interesting. The top four teams represented are relatively close to NYC - those are St. John's, Providence, Seton Hall, and Nova - the last of which has as much to do with front-running as much as proximity. The next wave is clearly X and Creighton. Both fan bases have shown up in really solid numbers. And that leaves the rest - Marquette, DePaul, Georgetown, and Butler. All of them a collective pathetic showing here in NYC. Glad they're not here, but they're missing out on a great show. Cannot wait for Friday night at MSG. Gonna be a blast.

Yeah, all of this is spot on. There's a clear drop off from the top 4 (makes sense) but I'm proud of the X representation. I'll give it to Creighton too - they're representation is impressive.

[JAPER]

Will I be able to get a ticket if I just show up at MSG ~ 5PM?

[pimpinthebox]

Text me later, Japer. I'll see what I can do.

Attendance Wednesday was about 13,400.

Yesterday it was 17,304 for the afternoon with Seton Hall & St. John's and 16,003 last night with only Providence as a Northeastern team in the building.

Butlers attendance was embarrassing to me. Very small contingent as I saw it. A LOT of Creighton people. Those folks show up!

Btw, the ACC in Brooklyn is sold out at about 17,800. I anticipate probably over 18,000 in the Garden tonight.

[BMoreX]

Bussing up from Baltimore as we speak. Impulse buy last night. Where's the Xavier bar this year?

I hear a lot of hotels in NYC require a 2 night stay and since they were only going to be there 1 night the fans didn't bother.

I would rep you but I can't

[pimpinthebox]

A great event in a great city/arena. I can see why Boheim is being such a bitch about not getting to play there (not really...he's a dick). I can also see why the Big Ten wants to play their conference tourney at MSG the week before (no I can't...totally stupid).

[Masterofreality]

19,812 attendance for Friday and Saturday nights- Can you spell SELLOUTS?

That in spite of the ACC trying to poach fans over to Brooklyn. Yes folks, the Big East Tournament in Madison Square Garden is alive and well.

[X-band '01]

And next year the B1G will play a week earlier in the Garden. Think they'll get great semifinal and championship attendance but not earlier than that.
