The West Coast Conference has announced a three-year extension to keep the WCC Tournament at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas through 2019, the conference announced on Thursday.
Prior to moving the tournament to Las Vegas, the WCC would rotate tournament hosting rights around the schools in the conference. Although it was fun to go and watch Gonzaga play at all the little arenas up and down the California coast, moving the tournament to Las Vegas has allowed the exposure of the tournament expand.
As part of the new agreement, The Orleans has agreed to make upgrades to the arena, specifically a new center-hung high-definition video board.
