The 2018 Big Ten Conference Tournament to be hosted at Madison Square Garden

Madison Square Garden is trying to make all ends meet as it prepares to host the Big Ten Conference in 2018. According to Jim Delany the commissioner to Big Ten, the progress of the scheme is purposed for the introduction of the media markets in the East Coast.

Madison Square Garden is to host the basketball event for the Big Ten Conference in 2018. However, this has yet to be confirmed as this Tuesday an official statement will be made. However, it has been confirmed that the Square will host the Big East Tournament which comes a week after the Big Ten Tournament. At the same time, the Big Ten title battle will be staged on Sunday which will be exactly 7 days before the Selection Sunday. As it has been a tradition, the Big East Tournament will stick to its usual date of the night of Saturday with the Selection Sunday following the next day.

There is a tight schedule where it would start with a week of Big Ten Tournament with the Selection Sunday coming in thereafter.
