Saturday’s NCHSAA, NCISAA boys’ basketball playoff scores

The third round of the NC High School Athletic Association boys’ basketball playoffs was Saturday, and the NCISAA hosted state finals.

Scroll down for scores and Monday’s fourth round NCHSAA pairings.

Note: The NCHSAA will allow teams that win Saturday to practice on Sunday between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., for no more two hours, to get ready for Monday’s games. The NCHSAA generally does not allow Sunday games or practices.

That exemption does not apply to 8A teams, which will not have games Monday. Today’s winners in 8A advance to the regional championshipgames.

The regional rounds are Wednesday to Saturday at Lenoir-Rhyne (West) and East Carolina (East).

The NC state finals will be March 11-14 at Lawrence Joel Coliseum in Winston-Salem.
