The "unmistakable buzz of a Big East Tournament in busy Midtown Manhattan returns" today at Madison Square Garden as the conference "celebrates 40 years at 'The World’s Most Famous Arena.'" This week, full crowds are "finally back in the building" after no tickets were made available to the public last year and MSG was "mostly empty throughout the tournament save for some family and friends of the teams." The '20 edition was "called off at halftime of the first quarterfinal because of the outbreak." The top three seeds and five of the top seven are "located a train ride away, pulling into Penn Station right underneath MSG." Sellout crowds are "expected, with more than 95% of tickets already snapped up by Monday" (AP, 3/9).
