CIAA is all-basketball on Tuesday

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina  --  The focus will be on basketball Tuesday, as six first-round games launch the annual CIAA tournament at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte’s uptown.

A number of other special events are scheduled in addition to the tournament later in the week, including bowling and skating parties, special programs for the region’s middle school and high school students, a dance team step show, and the CIAA Toyota Fan Experience.

But on Tuesday, it’s just basketball. The Johnson C. Smith University women’s team plays at 5 p.m. against Lincoln (Pa.) University. The men’s team does not play until Thursday afternoon.

Charlotte Area Transit System says its Gold Rush Red Line will operate extended hours between Johnson C. Smith University and the intersection of Fourth and McDowell streets. The buses will run 6:30 a.m.-11 p.m. both Tuesday and Wednesday.

Red Line hours will be 6:30 a.m.-midnight Thursday and Friday, and from 11 a.m. to midnight Saturday.
