The OVC and Horizon touraments start tomorrow. Does anyone know off hand where these games are played, at least for the 1st couple rounds? Are they on neutral courts or at of the team with a better conference record?

tomorrow's games in the horizon are all at campus sites (loyola, detroit, and uic are all at home)
then it shifts to milwaukee.
and then the champhionship is at the home of the highest remaining seed, which barring something crazy should still be milwaukee.

Ok, so the first round is at campus sites as you mentioned, and then the entire tourament shifts to Milwaukee?...but the championship game only is at the higher seed's home site?

Was Milwaukee selected before the season as the host or is it because they are the regular season leaders?

Also, is there any word on the other tournaments, particularly the OVC one that starts tomorrow?

Click to expand...

what you said about the horizon tourney is correct. the entire tourney shifts to milwaukee for the quarterfinals and semifinals.

the championship game is played on the home court of the highest remaining seed. it's supposed to be a way of rewarding teams for their regular season record but also a way of ensuring that there will be a good crowd for the televised championship next tuesday on espn (as opposed to, say, a hypothetical butler/detroit matchup being played for the horizon league title out in milwaukee where the crowd would likely be minimal if uwm was upset)
