7 of the 8 Class B boys teams playing in the early games today (loser's bracket) are from the Top 10. Having 7 out of 8 teams in the top 10 is normally a good State tournament field...

The only team in these early games that isn't from the top 10 is Glencoe who probably could have been.

That is the nice thing about the tournament. You get to show everyone how good you really are no matter your ranking.

Congrats to the teams that punched their tickets yesterday and good luck to all those that are playing today!!

Yeah but Forgan has only lost 4 games. Two of those games were against top ten teams in their class (Hooker in 2A and Leedey in B). Their big, their quick. #0 and #12 are easily the best two guards in Class B. Not taking anything away from anyone else but these two young men are very talented. Then they have the big man #35 I think down low. Just don’t see how they have been overlooked all season.

They were definitely under-ranked but note that they were 8-3 at the time of the final rankings and have gone 14-1 since. I don't know what they are bringing back next year but they will definitely have everyone's attention next year if they are bringing back a core group. It looks like they were 6-17 last season so it takes some time before you get your props. Not a perfect system but the coaches don't see all the teams play until the end of the season (and they were 0-2 in last year's tournament).
