Mid-South Conference Commissioner Eric Ward said the men’s and women’s basketball championships are parting ways with the Eastern Kentucky Exposition Center and city of Pikeville.
He announced Wednesday next year’s post-season event will take place at Bowling Green High School.
Ward said the conference was excited to build a partnership with Bowling Green, bringing the tournaments back to Western Kentucky.
The MSC will work closely with the Bowling Green Independent School District to make the move a success.
That commitment includes renovation of the Bowling Green High gymnasium, including a new college-length floor, new lighted backboards with shot clocks and new scoreboards above the court and in the end zones. Upgrade to the seating area is in the work as well.
Next year’s tournaments will be held March 5-9.
