The Big Sky may be playing their Conf Tourney at a portable gym set up in
Sac State's Wellness Center.


"The Big Sky regular-season champion gets to host the conference tournament, and the Hornets' gym -- affectionately referred to as "The Nest" -- seats just 1,200 and is far too small to facilitate both the crowds and the television coverage that the event brings.

The program has been so bad for so long that most never envisioned this becoming an issue, but Big Sky Deputy Commissioner Ron Loghry did make a point back in January to state: "When Sacramento State was invited to join the Big Sky Conference in 1996, its Letter of Agreement dictated that it would not be permitted to host the men's tournament in the Hornet Gym."

If the Hornets are able to secure the league's regular season title, the tournament will now be played at the school's wellness and recreation center, which is called "The Well." Portable bleachers around a portable court will be utilized to increase the seating to the necessarily benchmark of 3,000."
