Saturday is a very big for boys’ basketball as winners of games in Classes 1A, 2A and 3A all advance to the state tournament.  Clubs that collect wins in Classes 4A and 5A earn trip to the state semifinals.  We’ve made it easier to follow the brackets today as we’ve laid out the entire schedule in one story.
Games in Classes 1A and 2A are listed in order by time as the brackets will be reseeded on Sunday ahead of state quarterfinals next Thursday in Pueblo and Loveland respectively.  Games for Class 3A are listed in bracket order as that division will NOT be reseeded for the state tournament.  Classes 4A and 5A contests are listed in bracket order with winners moving to state semifinals on March 8th.
We’ll provide in-game updates of all contests on our Daily Scoreboard and post finals below.  Once teams start to quality for the state tournament, we’ll create a second story listing qualifiers and their RPI standings so you can gain some indication of where teams might be placed in the state tournament bracket.
