In 15 of 28 SEC women's tournaments, Tennessee fans have had to drive less than 170 miles to attend the games. Ditto this year.
Geographically speaking, 23 of 28 tournaments held to date have given a decided home court advantage to teams from the eastern side of the conference, especially the Tennessee schools, and Georgia. This said, 22 of the 28 tournaments have been played in either Tennessee or Georgia.
More tournaments...almost 50 percent...have been played in Tennessee than any other state. The number is 13. Georgia is second with 10.
Little wonder that 21 of 28 champions have either been UGA (see below), Tennessee or Vanderbilt.
Tennessee has won more tournament trophies than any other school. The number is 12.
Tennessee and Vandy combined have won 17 of the 28.
Of the 13 tournaments contested in Tennessee, only UGA (twice) and Auburn (once) have managed to win the trophy away from Vandy or the Vols, both of which have a combined 10 "at home" titles. Georgia last did it seven years ago, Auburn's lone title came 11 years ago.
These stats do not include the 2008 tournament, which is, you guessed it, in TENNESSEE.

Mr. Fleser wrote this to begin his story:
"Tennessee has history on its side when it takes the court for the SEC women's basketball tournament."
How true.

Congrats but it's another "home court" win for the Vols. Sixteen of the 29 SEC women's tournaments have been held in Tennessee. Twenty-four of the 29 have been held in either Tennessee or Georgia. What's wrong with New Orleans? Why such a decided advantage for UGA, UT and Vandy, which combined have now won 22 of 29 tournaments? Give other SEC schools a chance to enjoy the "home court" advantage.
