I know it's at MSG but really?

They're the B1G, it should be in Indianapolis

Crazy, crazy, crazy!

I think the same thing. And really shame on them.

Like you, I get its New York and MSG. But they don't belong there. The ACC doesn't belong there either, but at least they have Syracuse and BC.

Nobody, and I mean nobody in New York is going to care about watching Purdue and Michigan play. The entire conference minus Rutgers and Maryland is in the Midwest, hold your post season tournament there.

Now their teams get to set for 11-12 days before they play again all for the glory of being in MSG.
 
It's about money. More TV money this week when they dont have to compete against the ACC, B12, SEC, and P12 for prime time TV games.
 
I don't see in this century the alure of the "GAAHH-DAN". It is called the "worlds most famous arena", but really that's a title from the 60s, 70s & 80s. In the 70s you had the knicks with Willis Reed winning a title, you had Ali losing to Frazier, and in the 80s you had Big East Basketball. It's 2018 & That title is about 30 years past it's prime. The NIT which is the Not Important Tournament sums up MSG.

The place is really a dump too.

Then again I watch like 2-3 weeks of basketball so I could be wrong.
