The Atlantic 10 Conference announced on Thursday that the 2018 men's basketball championship will take place at Verizon Center in downtown Washington, D.C., just two miles from GW's Foggy Bottom campus.
"The announcement of the 2018 men's basketball championship coming to D.C., just days after the news of our record number of national television games ahead in 2014-15, is yet another sign of the strong, upward trajectory of our program and conference, and should be very pleasing to our fans both locally and across the country," said George Washington Director of Athletics Patrick Nero. "This is an incredible city to live in and to visit, and we're thrilled that D.C. will play host to this marquee event."
