America's Most Powerful Team: Dan Hurley Is Calling For A Ceasefire, Wants UConn/St. John's Fans To Unite And Create A 'Bloodbath' In The East Region

[Source] - Then he turned his attention to the prospect of a fourth meeting between the Big East superpowers.

“It’ll be a live building,” he added. “Obviously we’ve got to try to support each other. I think it’s pretty brutal on Twitter and social between our fan bases, but I think we’ve got to try to come together on Friday night against our opponents so that we could have a bloodbath Sunday.”

My dear God. This is the most dangerous ask you can have in the Big East. You don't ask fanbases that are elite on social media, known for having some of the best home courts in the country unite. But, maybe we need it? We know about the East region. We know how loaded it is with St. John's vs Duke and then MSU vs UConn on Friday in Washington DC. It's going to be absurd to get a ticket that all while having a millions fans there. Wild to think that Michigan State could very well be the team with the least amount of fans there. Never thought that would have a chance of happening.

But now Hurley wants it even more. He's calling for a ceasefire. He's calling for a united Big East front. I don't know if they can do that. They are the best sort of fans, but he's playing it right. You know what Big East fans love? Meatballs, pizza and bloodbaths. They live for it. It doesn't matter how bad their teams are, you insult Big East basketball you're in for a war you didn't know was coming your way. 

So you know what? I'm in on this. First off, fuck Duke. Second, a Big East 4th round matchup with two of the most entertaining coaches, two national title coaches, to go to a Final Four would be better than any other Elite Eight game. Third, I want to see what these lunatics (I say that as the highest of compliments) can come up with to attack Duke and MSU together. Take away the boosters and rich people. Get the most unhinged Big East twitter group in that building on Friday. You want a bloodbath, there's your answer.
