The America East released a statement today saying that they would keep the America East men's basketball tournament in Albany despite the MAAC's decision to leave Trenton and playing in Albany the same weekend.

This is the first we've heard from the conference since the MAAC's decision to move its conference tournament to Albany almost a month ago.

I think it's a good decision. If some of basketball is good, more must be better.

It should make for an exciting week in March '09.
