Took New Jersey Transit up to Madison Square Garden on Sunday afternoon to cover the Georgetown/St. John's game and snap the following blurry photos for your enjoyment. While it was confusing to attend a college basketball game where the team I was supporting scored 43 points by halftime, I think I could get used to it.
Hoyas won 79-64 thanks to a 20-2 run in the last third of the game.
Signage.
Not to scale.
Respect is back. Fear is next. Midriff is still in style.

To continue my failed attempts at combining weekends of wall-to-wall basketball with actual culture, we stopped at Dia: Beacon on the way back to Brooklyn. It was fantastic, even if they wouldn't let me take pictures in the giant gallery spaces.

A tribute to the final LIU Blackbirds game played at the old Paramount Theater, one of the most unique gyms in all of college basketball.
Dudes.
Finish forward Esa Maki-Tulokas on the line.
Tricycle race gone wrong.
Behind the bleachers.
They had commemorative shirts on sale.
Headless.
A security guard let me sneak up into the balcony to take some pictures.
Where I found, but did not eat, the following. Carbon-dating should provide more information.
I don't believe #45 did this tag.
Blackbirds win.
After the game, a group photograph.
If it hadn't been snowing, I would have enjoyed a slice of celebratory postgame cheesecake across the street.

On the heels of four basketball games in three days, next up on the agenda was Central Park on a snowy Monday afternoon to celebrate my Dad's birthday. Just what this site needs: More orange.

After Princeton's win over the Bears, it was off to Madsion Square Garden in the morning to check in with Coach Thompson's Georgetown Hoyas.
Traveling in style. Unfortunately, this bus was warmed up earlier than planned.
Saint John's player introductions. Sadly, no lasers.
Georgetown bench.
While it would take too long to explain what is pictured, trust me when I say it was markedly better than the St. John's Dance Team's halftime routine, performed to a Billy Joel medley.
After the final buzzer they took the court apart.
