The AAC, not to be confused with the ACC, from which UConn seems to be prohibited from entering, had its men’s basketball tournament in Memphis this year. Next year, it’ll be in Hartford, where the Huskies (yes the pup’s name in Jonathan; how the Blogster knows that is disturbing) will reign as NCAA champs. So the 2015 conference tourney will be in Hartford.
Gov Malloy: “Today’s announcement puts Hartford back in the basketball tournament business. While this is great news for next year, I am even more excited for what this means in the future. I believe we can and should be in consideration for more NCAA tournament events, and I will continue to push to bring those games to our state. I want to thank the American Athletic Conference for making this decision. I also want to send a message to college basketball fans everywhere: come to Hartford next March. You won’t be disappointed. Go Huskies!”
