New Orleans has hosted multiple Final Fours and gets 1st/2nd round games from time to time.

This year Jacksonville and Columbia, SC are both hosting tournament games and those cities are SEC territory.

As already stated.

By a few years ago you mean 2012. And the next time is 2022 so an entire decade between.

Great for them for hosting the final four once a decade. That doesn’t mean they can’t host 1st and 2nd round games every year or every other year like some locations do.

New Orleans Arena hosted 1st and 2nd round games in 2007 and 2010. They hosted a regional final in 2011. I think the statute of limitations for them getting credit for trying to host tournament games has passed.

Jacksonville hosting isn’t through the SEC’s influence and South Carolina is hosting because the NCAA moved it there after banning North Carolina sites. SEC doing work.
