What to expect from the CIAA tournament at CFG Arena this week

The seventh CIAA tournament was held at Morgan State’s Hurt Gymnasium. It did not return until 2022 — 70 years later — at what was then Royal Farms Arena downtown. The event, which drew more than 35,000 attendees each of the last two years, returns to CFG Arena this week. The women’s tournament will begin at 7 p.m. Monday with the Southern Division No. 7 seed, Winston-Salem State, taking on Northern Division No. 6 seed Bowie State in the opening round.
