By the way, I'm just old enough to remember the "Kansas City - Omaha Kings" (the same guys out in Sacramento) with Nate Archibald and Phil Ford... I think they also had Otis Birdsong and Tom Burleson too... Scott Wedman I think was on the Kings back then... not sure, my memory is foggy... the late Cotton Fitzsimmons was the coach (kind of a Judd Heathcote/ Rollie Massimino hybrid)...

It'd be a lot more amazing if they had these numbers NEXT year going to the BET.

Disagree like usual. Omaha is the farthest Big East school from NYC and we have already sold more all session tickets than Syracuse last year who is a helluva lot closer and has one of the largest fanbases in the country.

It's also your first time and you have maybe the best team you've ever had. Of course it's going to motivate a lot of the crazy fans(I mean this in a good way)- to make the trek to NYC. Lets see NEXT year when it's not the 1st time and McDermott and friends are gone.

Great work by Creighton. I give CU a lot of credit for what they've done, and expect that it will be a great place for Big East hoops.
Could we at least get a good word from you guys about the place you left?

it is, but it's not the out of world event that some here are making it out to be. If Creighton didn't travel this year when it's the 1st year, and they had the best player they've ever had- when would they travel to it.
I'd venture a guess this is what the Big East was expecting when McDermott came back this year.
