You bet you did..
You probably don’t like Villanova or UConn winning those championships either, but every one is a feather in the Big East’s cap..
Pitino is at your old stomping grounds now, right?
I went through SJU on a track scholarship and really wasn’t a basketball fan. The greatest value of the BB program for me was scalping tickets- i’d purchase as many tickets as i could at the student price of $3 to $4 a ticket and sell them for $30/$40/$50 a piece. It was all the money in the world to me back then.
If you watched the 30 for 30 you could see Georgetown was the big nemesis back then- everybody hated Georgetown except the people who went there and “da hood.” I was actually very glad when Villanova beat them in 1985. I also like seeing a Catholic school like Nova win the titles, especially considering how bad SJU has been recently.
