The Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament just rolled into town and ETSU’s student parking will be reduced considerably.
Teams from around the league are here with charter buses for their players and car convoys full of friends and family.
The trouble for ETSU students is the tournament is taking place Thursday and Friday during class hours.
East Tennessee State University sports managers must make room for our guests. The plan is to use the majority of the student parking north and west of the tennis courts behind Warf-Pickle.
If you don’t have your compass handy, remember parking next to State of Franklin Road beside the tennis courts is off limits to students this weekend. The two parking sections that front the tennis courts adjacent to Lucille Clement Hall will also be off limits to students Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
For students that park near Buck’s Pizza and make the rest of the trek to your classes on foot, there is reserved parking there, too. The very far lot along Jack Vest Drive will be used for buses all weekend long.
On Thursday, March 2, the parking will be reserved starting at 6 a.m. On Friday the parking will be reserved starting at high noon. The warning here is don’t get it twisted when you come to school Friday and the parking is not blocked off.
Your vehicle could be ticketed or towed if it is blocking reserve spaces beginning at noon.
ETSU men’s basketball club squares off against Garner Webb Thursday at 7 p.m.
The Bucs dropped the last meeting with the Bulldogs 64-69 in the Mini-Dome just a couple of weeks ago.
The basketball Bucs have not won since that loss, dropping their last four games of the regular season.
There is hope, Ben Rhoda may dress out for Thursday’s game. Out of nine games Rhoda has missed, his teammates have only managed to pick up one win.
