The cutoff date for the state tournament came and went on Saturday and now, it’s time to take a look at what the boys basketball state playoffs are going to look like this winter.
The NJSIAA will officially seed the sectional playoffs on Tuesday. For now, NJ Advance Media is taking a look at the playoff picture based on the power point information available after Saturday’s games.
Take a look below at our projected seeds and potential first-round matchups, based on preliminary and not-yet official final power points.
