2019 tournament will be in Memphis at the FedEx Forum.
Article also says that the 2020-2022 sites are expected to be announced shortly. Hopefully this is hinting at OKC as a recurring site.

Memphis gets the 2019 American Tournament. The sites for the 2020-2022 tournaments will be announced within a few weeks. OKC would have been nice for us...and still might be a possibility in the near future, but Memphis is still a reasonable trip so I won't be too critical of this announcement.

Don't have a problem with the tourney being in Memphis.
Does feel a little odd letting them host it in their home arena. I wonder if we can host it in Koch Arena.Comment

It was probably projected that Memphis would be hot, radioactive garbage for the next two years at least, so whether or not they get home court advantage for their first round exit ends up being a moot point. The unfair advantage will be negated by their terrible-ness in a move that allows the conference tournament to take place in a nice, central location to all.Comment

I don't know whether Tubby will have a Shea Seals (shot back to the past) or not, but anyone who has watched Tubby Smith's past teams knows they won't be hot garbage. He is a good coach. His teams will buy in and play hard. They won't be a Top 3 AAC team, or probably even a Top 5-6 team but they can beat anyone, especially at home. We better be ready.Originally posted by Dave Stalwart View PostComment

Joking aside, I think Tubby will surprise everyone. People see star ratings and assume that losing those guys means Tubby has failed. They think the sky is falling, but I bet Tubby will have things in good shape sooner than later.Originally posted by shockmonster View PostComment

If WSU wouldn't be afraid to play at Memphis during the regular season -- and they won't be -- they won't have a problem playing there come tournament time.Comment

Remember when Nancy Pelosi said about Obamacare:
"We have to pass it, to find out what's in it".
A physician called into a radio show and said:
"That's the definition of a stool sample."Comment

If memory serves, we usually see the official schedule in September.Comment
