The Appalachian State University Sports Information Department and the NC DOT has asked us to remind fans attending this evening's CIT semifinal game at the Holmes Center (especially any fans coming from the Lenoir/Charlotte area) of the following information:
US-321 between Blowing Rock and Lenoir will close at 7 p.m. Thursday due to construction. Fans coming from the Lenoir/Hickory/Charlotte areas for Thursday's postseason basketball doubleheader at the Holmes Center (women vs. Charleston at 5:30 p.m., men vs. Pacific at 8 p.m.) are encouraged to arrive early to beat the closure and have an alternate route planned for the trip home (321 won't reopen until 6 a.m. Friday).
