Teams were seeded by committees.
The top eight seeds in each classification clinched berths to their respective Hardwood Classics and will be playing to advance straight in the state quarterfinals Thursday, March 2. The remaining seeds in each classification will play in loser-out contests with winners advancing to Hardwood Classic first-round matchups Wednesday, March 1.
The state tournament features 16-team brackets in Classes 4A, 2A, 1A and 2B. Regional matchups are held Friday and Saturday.
