It's going to be Vegas

No, we didn't sit down with the late (meaning now thankfully no longer doing infomercials) but unlamented Miss Cleo nor, to our knowledge, did Donald Rumsfeld label any of the competitors 'deadenders' but we're making a prediction here and now: the WAC tournament's next destination is Las Vegas.

Here's Chris Murray with more on the subject:

I asked Nevada basketball coach Mark Fox about the WAC Tournament earlier today and this is what he had to say about hosting the event: “The coaches voted to have the tournament at a neutral site and the neutral site wasn’t approved by the presidents. Every conference city had a chance to bid on this, and they shouldn’t be angered because our community stepped up. This is a good event for the community. It brings a lot of people to town. This is a great place to visit, and we’re excited to host it. There’s some different responsibilities when you host it, and it changes your routine. I think the last time that we won it (in 2006) was the only time Nevada won a conference tournament that it hosted. So, we have to manage that situation appropriately...”

Go here for the remainder.
