"How many season ticket holders did Greg McDermott say Creighton has? 13k? 15k? Either way, that says it all. Phenomenal support."

Butler's beat guy just tweeted that in 1989 when the university finally decided to invest in bball the program had 15 season ticket holders. FIFTEEN!

Incredible rise for the program in 20 years not to mention the last 5!

Did Jay Wright really say that?

That's laughable

Reigning BE rookie of the year Jakarr Sampson says he is best friends with former A-10 freshman of the year Semaj Christon and can't way to play against X in his home state of Ohio.

Coach Lavin with 2 bombshells. First, he put out a long & very strong argument for staying at 10, like his days in the Pac-10. Second, he said Rysheed Jordan is the best freshman PG he has ever coached!

From The Bluejay Cafe...This is what media day is all about:

"Doug says no insurance policy has been taken out on his SR yr. Coach Mac tells me that actually, he and Theresa have but didn't tell Doug."

Lots of good publicity for the league today. I wonder how ESPN will report on the day's happenings.

Love Lavin's quote about the league:

“Like a neighborhood, we’re at a place where the homes, the schools, the basketball programs are similar. There’s a common thread. We look like one another, we mirror one another as institutions. When you add the fact that it’s all basketball — no football — that makes us unique. It gives us distinction. That’s how we’re going to brand this league and drive this league. We’re the old soul, love of the game league…if you’re a basketball-head, basketball junkie, basketball jones, it’s going to be the Big East that you’re going to have an affinity for.”
