Domination.
It’s March 13th, 2021 at Madison Square Garden, the nation’s most venerable basketball arena. Patrick Ewing, a legend of the garden, has a smile on his face, a hat on his head and a pair of scissors in his hands as a summits a ladder under one of the rims.
The hat reads “2021 BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS - BIG EAST.”
Ewing’s 8-seeded Hoyas had just spent 40 minutes demolishing the 2-seed Creighton Blue Jays as he earned the distinction of becoming the first individual to win the Big East as a player and a coach.
Across the country, orange and black confetti is descending from the rafters of T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
