Mohegan Sun Selected for NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament

The new American Athletic Conference has chosen Mohegan Sun to be the site for the women’s basketball tournaments beginning in 2014. 

"We look forward to this partnership," American Athletic Conference commissioner Mike Aresco in a statement to ESPN. "Mohegan Sun Arena offers our student-athletes, coaches and fans the best of many things -- a world-class facility, a great destination and committed management. We feel that being at Mohegan Sun will enhance an already very successful women's tournament experience." 

The American Athletic Conference was formerly the Big East, which gets a pretty good draw, but ESPN says that tournaments are moving to casinos for a “more intimate setting.”

The tournament will be March 7-10. 

The men’s tournament will be in Memphis, according to ESPN, and is expected to be formally announced this week.
