On Monday morning, the American Athletic Conference announced that the 2019 men’s basketball tournament will be played in Memphis, Tennessee at FedEx Forum.
Memphis hosted the inaugural tournament in 2014.
“We are pleased to be returning to Memphis and FedExForum for our Conference Championship,” Aresco said. “The City of Memphis graciously welcomed us for our first-ever league tournament in 2014 and our student-athletes, coaches and fans experienced a first-class weekend. This is a great basketball town that supports and appreciates the sport.”
While we at The UConn Blog have said that the tournament should be in New Orleans, or one of a host of central, fun cities, this is better than some of the previous host locations and rumored contenders.
