FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: JANUARY 10, 2013

TIMES ANNOUNCED FOR BOYS’ SWEET 16® SEMIFINALS AND CHAMPIONSHIP

Game times for the Semifinals and Championship of the 2013 Boys’ Sweet 16® at Rupp Arena have been finalized. The Semifinal round will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 9, followed by the championship game at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 10.

The change in format from previous year’s tournaments was a necessary byproduct of the University of Kentucky hosting Florida at 12 p.m. on March 9. The remainder of the Boys’ Sweet 16® will follow the same format as previous years. The change in format will not be applied to the Girls Sweet 16®, which will take place March 13-16 at E.A. Diddle Arena in Bowling Green.

Official times and pairings will be posted following the Sweet 16® Draw Show on Friday, Jan. 25.
