Big East Championship 3/11/23

[stever20]

Baseball game is in the 7th inning.

going to top 9th in a tie game. Hopefully gets decided in regulation(they do have the ghost runner in play for the 10th inning).

Predicting Marquette will need 10+ 3s to win this game. Xavier needs to have a substantial rebounding edge to break out the scissors.

Surely Coach Miller is not going to allow another ridiculous game of lefty drive circus shots from Kolek. When effective in doing that, his assist number could be elevated, but need to get in his head early that a big scoring night is not happening. Hoping to see Jones do the same to Joplin and strongly contest every shot he takes. Also, this would be really fun to see....If Oso gets loose, Miller puts Edwards in to throttle him a few times...let him struggle from the line. Just would love to see some serious physical payback for bruising us up in that 2011 NCAA tournament game.

Very curious to see what the crowd looks like tonight. The get-in price on StubHub is down to $20.

I've seen commentary about the secondary market on twitter, but I'm not sure what it really matters since the entire arena is sold out and the Big East has their money already. Just seems to me like eastern media types lamenting that none of their local teams are in the finals.

The league has its the money and can announce the game as sold out (it is, the tickets are sold), so in there sense it doesn't matter.

But having a full building that looks good on TV is obviously good for the league and I think there's some concern over whether that will happen, as the drop in secondary price is naturally driven by an increase in people looking to sell without the buying demand to match.

I would be shocked if MSG is basically not full.

Announcers have said it’s full. Turn to AAC game to see an empty building.

Bummer that XU has two bad games this week and one amazing game.
