I think capacity is the biggest issue, but even if UD Arena were the same size all three of those sites are better for hosting tournament games. They are all in downtown areas with hotels, restaurants, and bars in very close proximity. UD Arenas location simply does not have those things. In all 3 places I could park my car for the weekend if I wanted to and walk everywhere I needed to go. For games at UD Arena I would have to drive everywhere because there are only 2 hotels within walking distance and those rooms wouldn't be available to the general public because the NCAA would reserve them for teams, press, etc.
