Catch Music City Madness at the NMA in 2012! General admission tickets only are available over the counter at the NMA box office. General admission tickets are $30 each for men’s games and $15 each for women’s games.
The combined men's and women's championship has been held at Municipal Auditorium six previous times: 1994, 1995, 1996, 2004, 2008 and 2011. The men also held its championship at the venue in 1989.
Last year's tournament (2011), marked the return to Municipal under a new merit-based format in 2011.
The move to Municipal Auditorium keeps the championships in Nashville, a place where they have been held 17 times in the last 18 years. The only year the tournaments have not been held in Nashville during that stretch was 2002.
Starting with the last year's championship, all eight men's and all eight women's teams that qualify for the tournament field will gather at a single site for the entire tournament. Prior to 2011 the first round games were played on campus sites with the semifinals and finals being held in Nashville.
In 2011 the bracket also shifted from a traditional 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, etc. format to a merit-based format that rewards the top teams during the regular season with byes into the quarterfinals and semifinals. Now the first round of each the men's and women's tournament will feature the No. 5 seed against the No. 8 seed and the No. 6 seed against the No. 7 seed. The winners of those games will advance to the quarterfinals to face the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds (who received a bye). The winners of those quarterfinal matchups will advance to the semifinals to face the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds (who received a pair of byes).
The 2012 Championship marks the 49th time the men's event has been held, making it the fourth oldest Division I championship in the country (behind only the Southern, ACC and SEC).
Future OVC Basketball Tournament dates include March 6-9, 2013 and March 5-8, 2014.
