In what is expected to be one of the most competitive state tournaments in Class 4A, and with an impressive depth of unseeded opponents, there are no layup quarterfinals.
The top seed will face a conference foe in Andover, which it outscored 97-91 in the regular season. Second-seeded Lakeville North hosts a Buffalo team that swept Hopkins. Wayzata’s reward for winning the No. 1 seed. 3 is a date with a White Bear Lake team that went 15-3 in the always competitive Suburban East Conference.
The Class 4A tournament has a chance to really get crazy in March.
The Class 4A quarterfinals and half of the Class 2A quarterfinals will be played at Target Center, with the other quarterfinals at Williams Arena.
All semifinals and finals will be played at the home arena of the Timberwolves and Lynx and will be televised locally on KSTC-Channel 45. The quarterfinals will be broadcast on prepspotlight.tv/MSHSL.
