OSSAA Class 6A-5A Basketball State Tournaments Move To Norman In 2022

The OSSAA will be moving the 6A and 5A Basketball State Tournaments to Norman starting in 2022.

The tournament will be held at the Lloyd Noble Center on the University of Oklahoma's campus through the 2024 tournament.

The Mabee Center at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa has been the home of the tournaments for the last 12 years.

“After evaluating the bids we received and having further discussion with each site, the bid from the University of Oklahoma was the best one for our member schools," stated OSSAA Executive Director David Jackson. "We had an excellent run at the Mabee Center and look forward to bringing that same type of state tournament atmosphere to Norman."

University of Oklahoma Vice President and Director of Athletics Joe Castiglione added, “We are delighted to have the 6A and 5A tournaments back in Norman. The quality of basketball being played in Oklahoma is at such a high level. We can’t wait to showcase it at the Lloyd Noble Center. We’re excited to share a court that has featured many great Sooner players with the outstanding high school teams and fans from our state. It will be our great honor to provide all of them with a first-class experience and memories to last a lifetime.”

The 2022 Class 6A-5A Basketball State Tournaments will be held March 10-12.
