What Conference will have the best tournament?

Usually it is between the Big East and the ACC, but the ACC should be the best. I think the B1G and Pac 12 could just go sideways quick though.
B1G you have Purdue and Wisconsin but then 4 other teams that if they get hot they can easily win it.
Pac 12 UCLA, USC, Oregon, Arizona, Cal, and Utah all could win it with a break here or there.
Big XII should be KU vs winner of WVU/Baylor, that semi may be fun to watch
SEC just give UK the trophy now
ACC being it is in Brooklyn this year, that takes away the Carolina advantage that UNC and Duke seem to get with fans.
Big East Nova and not even close
A-10 always seems to get crazy the MAC used to be always good for chaos, but not so much any more.
The Friday of Championship week to me is the best day of College basketball.

You know one of those small conferences is gonna have a team with a losing record run a train on the tournament

Speaking of the "small" conferences did you see what Army did to Navy?
Army was down 54-29 with 12 minutes left in the game. They ended up winning by 2 and Navy had a chance to tie it but bricked a FT.

SEC will be pretty boring but UK hasnt even looked like the best team this year in conference so I'm not sure why you say that.

Until someone can beat them in Nashvegas or Catlanta consistently, may as well engrave their name on the trophy. When the Tourney goes to St Louis is when it becomes interesting.
I wished they would put it in Houston once also.

Agree. I've come to love championship week just as much as March Madness
I try to go to a conference tourney every year.
2007 went to the Missouri Valley tourney. Creighton won
2008 went to the MAC tourney. Kent state won
2009 went to the Southland tourney. Stephen F Austin won
2010 went to the Atlantic 10 tourney. Temple won
2011 went to the Big 10 tourney in India apolis. Ohio St won
2012 went to the Mountain West tourney in Las Vegas. New Mexico won
2013 Big 12 tourney in KC. Kansas won
2014 didn't go to one
2015 went to the Colonial Tourney in Richmond. Northeastern won.
2016 didn't go to one
Probably won't make one this year because I will be moving

It should be in Atlanta every year.

No I do not think so. Football yes it should stay in Atlanta (although they can move it around also) but the region has a ton of places with very nice arenas it can be held
Houston--Toyota and NRG
Dallas--American and Jerry World
New Orleans--Smoothie King and Dome
Nashville
Memphis--FedEx
St Louis--Scott Trade or whatever it is called this year and the Dome
Orlando
Tampa/St Pete
Little Rock

Big 12 won't be the best, but will have a lot of fun, meaningful games with 8 teams in contention for a tourney bid. Every game will have meaning, which is awesome. Kansas probably won't win.
Acc will be the best due to sheer numbers. Will be fun and any of like 8 teams could win it.

You also have Oklahoma State getting on fire at just the right time. Their shooters get hot, they can compete with about anyone

While syracuse keeps going up (5 wins in a row) and down (3 losses in a row currently) this season, playing in brooklyn is a huge advantage. Tons of SU fans living in the city and it helps having the next closest team be boston college. Cuse needs to win a few games in the ACC tourney to have a chance at getting in (sitting at 16-12 as of current)

you could put the tournament on the moon and Kentucky fans would outnumber everyone else 10:1.

Well you said it yourself.
It's obviously the Pac-12.
Wide open, fun-time.

I am so glad I did not bet on that game.
Lord have mercy, that must have been very hard on the coach.
since its army vs Navy, you don't expect anyone to give up. wow, they didn't.

A10 delivers.

I felt bad for Navy's coach he was doing all the right things, calling time outs to stop runs trying to switch offenses. Army just got hot and then Navy got cold.
I would not have watched it but there was nothing really great on TV so I decided to watch it.
