Sectional draws
Three hundred ninety-nine teams were drawn Sunday night and placed into brackets for the 111th Annual IHSAA Boys Basketball State Tournament.
Sectional games are scheduled to begin Tuesday, March 2, and run through Saturday, March 6, with the regional round slated for March 13 and semi-states on March 20. The four state championship games that make up the state finals will be played two weeks later on Saturday, April 3 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
To conduct the traditional, random drawing for the boys basketball state tournament, the IHSAA places ping-pong balls representing each school in a given sectional into a lottery-style air mix machine. A motorized fan in the bottom of the machine blows the balls around the inside of the transparent container and air then forces each ball up through a tube in random order.Â
Locally, Greensburg (3A), South Decatur (2A) and Oldenburg Academy (1A) are defending sectional champs.
