Since it is prohibitively expensive to go to professional basketball games at Madison Square Garden, we go to a few college games there every season. The Knicks are awful as their record is 4-18 and just fired coach David Fizdale.
The game with St. Johns facing West Virginia in the Holiday Festival was pretty even most of the way with the score tied at 36 at half-time. At one point in the second half, the Red Storm took a 10 point lead but the Mountaineers tied it up at 68. Rasheen Dunn hit two free throws for St. Johns with 5 seconds to go as the home team won,
The Garden was less than half full. I guess college basketball is not that popular in NYC. St. Johns has not been nationally ranked in several years and has not had an impact player that gave the program national attention. Also, there were some West Virginia fans in the stands, but I think there would have been a bigger crowd if two NYC area schools were playing.
