Great time. The first game was a little lame, but that was okay. The second game, UConn vs. N.C. State was fantastic.

This event is done first class. It is totally dedicated to the memory of Coach V and the program started by he and ESPN to fight cancer. Great location and great teams for a great cause.

A high school game would have been better. We walked out before the first game was over.

Excellent college basketball doubleheader with proceeds going to a worthy cause, the battle vs Cancer. As a cancer survivor, this resonates with me. Plus, it was great to see my alma mater Georgetown play and win while watching rival UConn lose in the second game vs Jimmy V''s old school.

Let me begin by stating that I am an NC State graduate (Class of 1986). Needless to say Jimmy V holds a special part of my heart. In the Spring of my freshman year the team led by Jim Valvano went on a pretty special ride in the NCAA Tournament as I am sure most all reading this may be aware culminating in a very improbable National Championship. I live in New York now and every year I make a point to attend the Jimmy V Classic at MSG since its inception many years ago. The last couple of years the attendance figures at the games (doubleheader) have gotten ridiculously smaller and smaller, to the point this year of it being pretty disgraceful. I am not sure who is in charge of scheduling the participants in this tournament, but whoever it is they need to take notice if they haven't already done so!!! This year the four schools were University of Missouri, Villanova, University of Washington, and Marquette. On the surface, all four of these programs are decent basketball programs. With two Big East schools involved, Villanova and Marquette, I would have thought they would have a decent fan base at the game. Apparently, I was wrong! The Garden was empty! They need to bring some teams back to this tournament that will fill the arena! Attendence was a joke for this tournament recognizing Jimmy V and a very worthy charity, the V Foundation.

Good match ups Quality teams,
Good classic college basketball, its really good to see Big 12 and Pac 10 teams here in the east so we can gauge how the Bug East teams match up.
Garden renovations are looking good

There were two very good basketball games featuring 4 solid Division I schools. So from an event standpoint, it was fine. The atmosphere was a bit weak, mostly because of the small crowd which became even smaller after the first game when most of the Villanova fans chose to leave and that being the closest to a local school, it had the largest fan representation. This made the incessant piped in music all the more intolerable. Also, there were way too many long time outs which dragged out the evening so that the last game did not conclude until shortly before 12AM. I suspect that ESPN commercials added to the duration of time outs. First game should start at 6:15PM which at least would assure ending closer to 11 and allows for people traveling from outside Manhattan the time to get home at a reasonable hour. The partially renovated Garden is nicer (grime has not had time to sink it). Food options are better, but lines appeared very long. Ticket prices were about 20% too high

Four good teams again with a sellout crowd this year. Kansas always travels well and the 'cuse. Well, it's NYC, they always show up at the garden. On top of everything it's for a great cause. Let's get WVU in it next year!

I think Madison Square Garden could do a lot more with the event. I mean people are coming from all over the country to see their college teams play at the world famous MSG, and their only entertainment is to watch audience members dance to worn out songs. They can see that at home. The draw is to see your team in an NBA arena, they should pump up the artistry, the music, and the entertainment.

MSU vs. Syracuse was an excellent game. The Kansas vs. Memphis game was a little less amazing. The crowd wasn't into it as much as the second game.

Jimmy Valvano was an amazing guy who lived life to the fullest, even when he knew that he didn't have long to live. That speech he made at the ESPN awards in 1994 will go down in sports history as one of the greatest motivational performances of all time. To attend an event named for him was truly an honor; to watch Kansas beat Memphis....that was just icing on the cake. Syracuse did themselves proud by beating Michigan State also. It was a great night of college basketball!
