Class 2A Boys Basketball Regional and State Tournament Predictions/Projections Week 6

Class 2A Boys Basketball Regional and State Tournament Predictions/Projections

We are still very early in the year, but I wanted to give a look towards Regionals and also give the 8 teams I think will make it to the State Tournament. I will update this weekly as well. This is very early so plenty of things can and will change. For my Predictions I will be using the 3 teams I selected in my District Predictions Article posted earlier. I will then use RPI to seed the field. I will pick the 8 teams I think qualify for State based on these Regional Predictions/Projections.

Class 2A

Each District qualifies 3 teams to Regionals, with the remaining 8 teams determined by the next high RPI scores.
The District Champions shall be seeded 1-8 based on RPI and shall host the regional tournaments.
The remainder of the teams shall be seeded 9-32 by RPI avoiding first round district matchups.
RPI Seeds 25-32 may be moved to accommodate geography if it benefits the entire bracket.
The 8 regional winners shall advance to the state tournament.
After the Final 8 teams have been determined, the teams will be re-seeded based on the following: Final RPI, previous District Matchups, Head-to-Head competition, and common opponents.
