Pac 10 Tournament Tickets

The Pacific 10 Conference Men's Basketball Tournament, commonly known as the Pac-10 Tournament, is the annual concluding tournament for the NCAA college basketball in the Pacific-10 Conference, taking place in Los Angeles at the Staples Center.

The tournament was initiated on trial basis from 1987 to 1990 but it was suspended because of poor revenue. The tournament was then started again just to avail the opportunity to the exposure through this tournament. Some institutions refused to this tournament but majority supported this platform.

The tournament is being criticized as not helping the Pac-10 awareness as much as originally intended. There is another issue regarding the tournament which is the broadcasting medium. It is broadcast on Fox Sports Net, which is not available in much of the country, and on regional sports networks in areas without FSN.
