The SEC basketball tournament is kind of dumb imo.
It's nothing like the SEC Championship game, that involves 2 schools, 1 game, and both teams are playing for something very important.
In any given year in a basketball season there are like 2-3 at most teams in the conference worth a damn and the other 10-11 are either terrible or mediocre.
The basketball tournament is 4 days long and you don't know how long your team will be in it, so why travel all that way if you're gonna get bounced first game.
And on top that, winning the tournament is nothing more than bragging rights. Almost always the team that wins it was going to get an NCAA bid anyway and other than the honor of calling yourself tournament champions it means nothing. The real tournament starts the next week.
So ya, it really doesn't matter where they stick the basketball tournament, it's never gonna be that big of a deal.
