INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The N-C-A-A men's basketball tournament regionals are coming to Salt Lake City.
Salt Lake City was named today as a site for the 2010 regionals. The other cities that will send a team to the Final Four in Indianapolis that year are Syracuse, New York, St. Louis and Houston.
The regional tournament will be hosted by the University of Utah in the Delta Center on March 25 and 27, 2010.
Said Utah Director of Athletics Dr. Chris Hill, "We are always happy to host the NCAA Tournament in Salt Lake City. Our first interest is to host NCAA 1st & 2nd Round games in the Huntsman Center and we will continue to pursue that in the coming years. However, we jumped at the first opportunity to bring the NCAA Tournament back to Salt Lake City, which was as a regional host at the Delta Center in 2010."
The N-C-A-A also announced today that Boston, Indianapolis, Glendale, Arizona, and Memphis, Tennessee, will be the regional sites for 2009.
