Not just CT, though, think how many Big East schools were in easy driving range from MSG.In CT, living 3 towns away from someone is considered a foreign land. You can drive to Montreal in 6 hours. It's a different mindset.
The fewer reminders that Tulsa is joining this conference the better, thanks. Hartford would be looked at as too far an outlier to host the men's tournament, but Tulsa would be viable?
Memphis is central to all teams. Its also a fun party town.
Kind of ridiculous, no?
Didn't st. Johns get to play at home for years?
I suggest Dayton.

If we do, might as well hold it at St Johns arena...very few AAC fans could get up there.
Tulane, UCF, USF just don't have the fan base to host.
Memphis, Cincy, Hartford, Dallas, maybe Tulsa, maybe Philly...those are the only viable options.
But it will come done to who offers the biggest $ guarantee to the conference...as it should...gotta pay to play.
Memphis is a seven-hour drive from either Dallas or Cincinnati, so that's a weird definition of "close."
Of course that was sarcasm. The woman are the biggest draw of the year for most opponents and free very very well at home. It would not surprise me if they out drew the guys last year.of course they have because their 2,000 fans is twice as much as the other 15 teams total in the league travel to their tourneys…….
No.
Mars was closer to home for St. John's than Madison Square Garden was.
From the mid 80's to the early 2000s, St. Johns was a pretty good program and they played their larger drawing games at MSG. MSG even had separate inserts for the baseline and half court for the Red Storm. Just because they have been terrible in recent years, doesn't mean that the Big East Tournament was not played on their home court.
