The pairings for the boys’ and girls KHSAA Sweet 16 basketball tournament will be revealed on Friday at 1 p.m.
The draw show will be aired on khsaa.tv via the NFHS Network at no cost to viewers.
Both tournaments will be held at Rupp Arena in Lexington, the girls’ Sweet 16 taking place March 12-15, the boys’ March 26-29. The boys tournament was moved back a week due to Rupp being one of the host sites this year for the first two rounds of the men’s NCAA Tournament.
With the boys’ Sweet 16 being moved back a week, it has made for some scheduling moves for the boys region tournaments.
The boys’ 9th Region tournament will be held March 8 (first round), March 11 (semifinals) and March 18 (championship). All four first round games will be played on the 8th, the two semifinal games on the 11th and then the championship a week later.
The girls’ 9th Region tournament will be held March 2 (first round), March 5 (semifinals) and March 7 (championship). All four first round games will be played on the 2nd, the two semifinal games on the 5th with the championship on the 7th.
