Title: SEC BB Tourney Move Helps Teams with More BB Centric Schools Post by: Marshal Dillon on October 17, 2013, 12:16:56 PM Who was the moron who picked St. Louis to host the Tourney? That's not close to anyone except Missouri fans. What a disaster.
Quote The SEC announced Tuesday that it plans on making Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena the semi-permanent home of the conference’s men’s basketball tournament. Why is it semi-permanent? Because the conference has already awarded several upcoming years to Atlanta (2014, 2020), Saint Louis (2017) and Tampa (2018), to go along with previously-established plans for Nashville to host in 2015, 2016 and 2019./quote] http://college-basketball.si.com/2013/10/15/sec-tournament-to-nashville/?sct=uk_t2_a6 ???

Call me old fashioned but basketball needs to be played in an arena and not in a dome.

It is a 6 1/2 hour drive from Huntsville -- I've made that drive many times. They probably picked St. Louis for one year when Mizzou joined the conference. Nashville seems like the best location though.

Nashville is a good location. :D |
