State Hoops Tourny Starts Today

TSSAA Murphy Center
MTSU vs. Tennessee

The TSSAA State basketball championship tournament is coming to the Murphy Center at MTSU.

Thousands of fans will make the annual trip to Murfreesboro for the TSSAA Girls Championships this week and the Boys Championships next week. Add to that the Mr. and Ms. Basketball Finalists Ceremony Wednesday evening and you have quite an event. Expected to bring in $3 million in revenue, the city and Chamber have rolled out the red carpet for 24 visiting teams this week.

Traffic Could Be a Mess

The tournament will bring teams and their fans from around the state.

It will also bring traffic.
