Correct, the West Coast Conference, WAC, and Mountain West have both the men's and women's, and the PAC 12 has the men's Conference Tournaments.

Also the Big Sky is in Reno. Only the Big West (Anaheim) and Pac 12 women's tournament (Seattle) is outside the state of Nevada.


Which city is closest to Vegas? NYC hosts several conference tourneys as well I think.

Well Las Vegas will add another tournament for the next two years. The Pac 12 women's tournament is moving there for 2019-20... due to Key Arena being renovated.

That must've just been announced. During this year's tournament the Pac 12 commish was talking about what would happen the next several years but it wasn't official yet. The fans of both Oregon schools traveled well to Seattle, wonder if their numbers will diminish when it's not a fairly simple drive up I-5.

Thanks triad! Seattle Times stories often are available on line the day before they are in print. That story definitely wasn't in the paper today but I bet it will be tomorrow. Yes, I'm a dinosaur that still gets a newspaper.

Will be interesting to see if the Pac 12 moves the women's tourney back to Seattle after 2020. Probably will depend on how attendance is in Vegas.

Well I still read newspapers too.... and I look at the local news on TV as well.
