With both tourney's in town at the same time, and Syracuse playing in Brooklyn, it could be an interesting dynamic to see which one is more popular.

Both will do great and both will sell out, but nothing beats MSG.

You're right, I'm sure both will do well, and both will sell out. The baseball analogy would be one is playing at Citi Field, and the other is playing at Yankee Stadium.

Their really is no need for an analogy in explaining the difference between MSG and Barclays. Everyone already knows that MSG carries considerable more cache. But the fact that the ACC has all those elite level basketball schools with huge fan bases tells me which league will have the largest attendance and be getting the most media attention and making the most money.
