The debate is over. Las Vegas can stake its claim as the owner of March Madness from this day forward. It’s about to be a wild month, and it could be only the beginning.

After struggling at Oregon, former Centennial standout Taylor Bigby has found a role as a redshirt freshman guard at USC, which is in Las Vegas for the Pac-12 tournament.
Four CONCACAF international soccer matches at Allegiant Stadium, UFC Fight Week and next year’s Mountain West Conference basketball tournaments will be funded.
The rumors that began Thursday morning were confirmed before the sun set Thursday night. UCLA and USC are leaving the Pac-12 in 2024, they announced via Twitter — and thereby leaving Las Vegas, too.
The National Invitation Tournament final four has been a fixture in New York almost every year since 1938, but will be played elsewhere in 2023 and 2024.
The madness in March is set to increase next year when Las Vegas finally hosts NCAA men’s basketball tournament games.
Kentucky junior forward Dre’una Edwards hit the game-winning shot in the Wildcats’ upset of No. 1-ranked South Carolina in the championship game of the women’s SEC tournament.
The Wildcats, seeded No. 2 nationally, pair the tournament title with their regular-season conference crown — ensuring a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
The two previous matchups this season between Boise State and San Diego State came down to the wire. This game was no different.
A look at who could be in and who could be heartbroken by the end of the day Sunday as the final bids for the NCAA Tournament are determined.
Kevin Kruger grew tremendously as a head basketball coach off the court as his players did on it during the 2021-22 season.
All four teams in action on Friday night at Thomas & Mack Center have a very realistic chance to be included in the field of 68 when it’s announced on Sunday.
The Thomas Mack Center felt just like Laramie, minus about 5,000 feet of elevation. Hosting the MW Tournament isn’t any sort of home-court advantage for UNLV. Hasn’t been for some time.
Tommy Lloyd, Arizona’s first-year coach, has a history of winning conference tournaments in Las Vegas and looks to keep it going in the Pac-12 event at T-Mobile Arena.
Senior Bryce Hamilton scored 22 points but it wasn’t enough as No. 5-seeded UNLV lost to No. 4 Wyoming Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Mountain West tournament at the Thomas & Mack Center.
