As we reported before, the FCIAC has officially moved the site and dates of the semifinal and final rounds of the boys basketball playoffs, which were originally scheduled for Monday and Wednesday at Sacred Heart University.
Because of the forecast for snow on Monday, the semifinals will now be played Tuesday and the final Thursday, all at Fairfield Warde.
Stamford will play Bridgeport Central at 6 p.m. in the first semifinal. Trinity Catholic will take on St. Joseph in the second game.
The move was universally applauded, and not because of the weather. Parking at Sacred Heart has always been a nightmare, and Dave Schulz and his staff for years have done an outstanding job of running the tournament at Warde. Today was no different.
The league will also be saving significant money by not playing at Sacred Heart. Consider this a win-win-win.
