IHSAA Commissioner Paul Neidig says this year’s Boys Basketball State Finals will be played on Saturday, April 3, one week later than the previously scheduled date.
The four state championship games had been planned for March 27 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
In order to give flexibility to scheduling the college tournament, IHSAA said it agreed to give up the last weekend in March.
“In a year that has seen plenty of disruption, we also felt this arrangement would cause the least amount of disruption and impact the fewest number of schools,” said Neidig. “The Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever have been tremendous partners of the IHSAA and we felt it appropriate to work with them to help find a solution.”
The IHSAA says the dates and locations of the earlier rounds of the state tournament remain unchanged with sectionals scheduled for March 2-6; regionals on March 13, and semi-state games on March 20.
