Conference USA Men's Basketball Tournament
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Conference USA Men's Basketball Tournament is held annually following the end of the regular season of NCAA Division I Men's Basketball.
Since the realignment of conferences and the fact that the tournament is now permanently sited in Memphis, some newspaper columnists have jocularly called the tournament the "Memphis Invitational". [1]
