It’s that time of year again: tournament time. Due to Jim Delany’s thirst for the East Coast, the Big Ten Tournament gets March started early along with powerhouse basketball conferences like the Big 12 South and Atlantic Coast Sun. Who can blame him, though? When you can compress your conference season to play in the most famous arena on the planet, you’ve got to do it, right? Oh, just once you say? Alright. In his defense, though, there are weirder conference tournament locations, like the Ohio Valley hosting theirs in San Antonio (the closest school is 13 hours away) or the Big Sky going to Reno - I guess Vegas couldn’t host a fifth - despite lacking a team in Nevada (they have one in every bordering state, though).
