i got mine last year for 300 something. I think if you get close to 300, its a decent deal. Like someone else said though, i'd wait until early 2017 to book.

We went last year. Great time and I plan to go again. Only this year, not driving. Wow, that's a long drive.

Lived in NYC for 13 years. Now I live just outside of the city. Been going to the BE tournament for 20 years now. Xavier is my team (and my alma mater), but I grew up rooting for Pitt (now my 2nd favorite team). I can tell you the Big East tournament @ MSG lives up too the hype of being one of the truly great events in all of college basketball. It was amazing to watch so many good teams prior to the shake up and surprisingly the tournament continues to be amazing with less teams (though it helped that 3 winning programs joined).

It just feels special being at MSG for the BE tournament. This is the year X will win it and I look forward to being there to see it happen.

I went in 2015 when X played Villanova in the Championship game. The game sucked, but the experience was awesome. Highly recommend doing this at least once to every fan.

I am driving. The Fred Garvin Relapse Tour doesn't go by air. Airlines and Megabus are for you collectivists. Gonna rent out the top floor a la Howard Hughes( Hughes- much like Snipe- was said to have been driven insane by untreated syphilis)
Superbad on the DVD player and a plethora of psychedelics for wondering around Times Square and Central Park. We will be armed and dangerous so we can silence the Seton Hall inbreds who think Shake Shack is haute cuisine.

When I went in 2015, I stayed at the Westin Times Square. The teams were there as well. It was a decent location with easy access to the subway for sightseeing

Yes. The wife has been to every Big East Tourney since X has joined, I went last year. Two years ago she texted from the Westin Times Square that she was in an elevator with a team who had a big G on their warmups. I explained that was Georgetown. It was quite the moment.

We will be there this year again, in the Westin Times Square. Look for the dumpy guy in Xavier blue. That'll be me.

Sorry for being off topic, but if anyone can tell me the most economically convenient way to grab 2 tickets for the Villanova game at Cincy I would appreciate it.
