ACC shouldn’t sell out its tradition by moving basketball tourney to MSG
Posted May 18, 2013
Regardless of what Jim Boeheim and the national columnists will tell you, the ACC tournament is at its best when it’s in Greensboro. It’s a seven-hour or less drive from nine of the league’s 15 schools, making it accessible to the greatest number of fans. It’s also the biggest event in town each year, and it’s treated as such. That might not be the case in New York, where you’d never know the tournament was going on two blocks away from the Garden.
