FAYETTEVILLE -- St. Louis is getting a double dose of March Madness.
After hosting the Missouri Valley Tournament -- billed as "Arch Madness" for the city's signature Gateway Arch -- last week for the 28th consecutive year, St. Louis will host the SEC Tournament for the first time.
The MVC Tournament, which was won by Loyola-Chicago and Coach Porter Moser (a former UALR Trojans coach), was held Thursday through Sunday.
The SEC Tournament opens Wednesday with the championship game on Sunday.
By the end of the SEC Tournament, the Scottrade Center will have hosted 22 games in an 11-day span with two NCAA Tournament automatic bids being awarded.
