CIAA BasketballIt’s that time of year again, basketball season. North Carolinians love their basketball and their rivalries. The CIAA was founded in 1912, and is the first African-American athletic conference. Charlotte gets to reap the benefits of the CIAA location, and thus holds host to the tournaments and all the folks that come to watch. The whole uptown area and parts of Midtown also host several events and parties while the CIAA tournaments are in town. There will be concerts, street performers, and lots of basketball. Below are some of the top links to find out more for the upcoming weekend.
