This is where having a tournament on your homecourt IS an unfair advantage. Siena won the three MAAC titles at the TUC because they were clearly the best team. Did in help in some of games? Maybe but again Siena "earned" the homecourt even if it was in a de facto way as the #1 seed. In the last two titles they won the league by multiple games.
The America East is a HORRIBLE conference (maybe the worst in D1). No excuses next year... UA and Vermont at home have to be wins.

The only thing I will say about that is college basketball is not just about the teams but about the programs. How well do you recruit, how good is your coach, how much money do you spend, how good are your fans, how well do your fans travel? Albany won the rights to hold the tourney, so they won that battle, and then they took advantage of the opportunity. I see nothing wrong with that. Now their team and their fans have to travel to Hartford or Stony Brook and get it done. Just like Siena next year. And the year after that. And the year after the year after that.
