Exactly where the games will be held is still up for discussion, however.

For the first time in league history, the men will start on Wednesday and play their championship game on Saturday.

Also for the first time, the women will start on Thursday and hold their championship contest on Sunday.

Unlike in the past, the women will not have an off day after the semifinal round.

All the men's games will be played in the Ford Center. The championship game will be held early in the evening and televised on ESPN.

The women, who will be televised on FSN, will play at least the first two rounds inside the Cox Convention Center, and possibly hold the semifinals and finals in the Ford Center.
