Julian Tackett tweeted that the Board of Control approved moving the state championship game to Sunday night.

Here's the news release: 4/15/13 - BOARD OF CONTROL APPROVES MOVING KHSAA SWEET 16Â® FINALS TO SUNDAY

The schedule changed this past year because of UK's game against Florida, but it sounded like the coaches and a number of fans liked the setup more than the 2 games Saturday format.

Should have been done a long time ago.

An extra night stay in Lexington. Financial decision. Helps the crowd on Saturday games.

Financially it's a wash for the KHSAA considering they have to rent Rupp for another day. The city of Lex has to like the decision.
