UPDATE: IHSAA Cancels Boys Basketball Regional Games

Thursday, March 12th, 2020 12:16pm

The games were originally scheduled to go on with limited attendance.

Update published Friday, March 13 at 12:17 p.m.:

The IHSAA released the following statement:

"Due to the number of schools closing after today for an extended period of time, it has become apparent the IHSAA boys basketball tournament series cannot be completed as scheduled. Subsequently, the boys basketball tournament is postponed immediately. Saturday’s girls gymnastics state finals at Worthen Arena in Muncie will continue as scheduled with no spectators in attendance. Competition will begin at 1 pm ET / 12 pm CT."

Despite our best efforts to continue our beloved tournament, it simply is not feasible at this time. We will continue to evaluate in the days and weeks to come and perhaps restart the tourney at a later date. https://t.co/WTJbIFDQGB
