Big Ten Tournament at MSG

[deerchaser]

I believe the Missouri Valley had to move their tournament to this weekend to preserve playing their championship game on CBS.

I didn't look further back than last year, but I'm 90% certain the MVC has hosted their "Arch Madness" a week early for at least the last 10 years.

All in all, supporting the notion that this is a mid-major conference tournament weekend.

Yes, ever since I've known they've played the weekend before. It was never fun to have to sit a week while everything else played out.

God the middle/bottom of the big ten is so bad offensively. Nobody can hit open shots.

So us vs DePaul?

Yes, except every single game.

Wonder how much madness remains at the Arch now that CU and Wichita have departed.

Even Pittsburgh and Milwaukee and the Twin Cities could be possibilities.

In the Chaluparena?  I think that could be a definite possibility.  If they want big time events that will draw crowds to the area, a Big Ten Tournament sounds enticing.  Badger fans would come in droves, and its not far for most of the "western" Big Ten teams.  Michigan, Penn St, and Ohio st have enough alums in Chicago to make the drive too.

A-10 always plays their championship on CBS on Selection sunday.

No, it always this weekend.

Paid attendance for Wednesday's 1st Round B1G- 14,681  (Wow, had to be 11,000 no-shows.)

That's because the scalpers couldn't even get $3/ticket

Tipoff crowd.

Billy Joel and Phish had their numbers retired?

Billy has MSG record for most concerts.

Terrible officiating. Davison makes a steal with two feet out of bounds, now Happ draws a fifth foul on Jackson by arm barring him. Clear, blatant offensive foul.

Yep, Happ grabbed nd pulled his arm.  CREEPY STUFF.

That was a terrible final possession by Wisconsin. Almost hard to do that any worse. Michigan State wins, Bucky's season is over.

Refs tried to give the game to Bucky but they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory

Phish is up there for most concerts in a row after they played a 13 night stand at MSG this summer.
