Hello everyone,

We had a fantastic first day of games. Please double-check your schedule for Sunday and your brackets. We had to make adjustments for two divisions, as some teams are unavailable to play tomorrow.
We are looking forward to Championship Sunday. We will see everyone tomorrow starting at 9 am. Doors open at 8:45 am.

Best Regards

We have been informed that there is a cheerleading event at USF, so parking close to the Recreation Wellness building may be difficult.. Please plan on adding time to your commute to accommodate looking for parking.

Best Regards

Coaches,

We have had to make three additional schedule revisions within the last hour. Please double-check and triple-check your scheduled times. If you are unable to attend any of these games, please inform us that you need to forfeit, and we will notify the other team.
Thank you for your patience and diligence. We hope this will be the final change needed.
Best regards,
Impress Me Basketball
