O’Brien going on one of his weird yearly everyone should make the playoffs rant. We are ready for the brackets now.
Brackets
- Thread starter EstablishTheRun59
- Start date
I never agreed with this stance. Until my Dons started going 3-6. Now...#LetThemAllIn
I think they have a good chance to make the semifinals. After that, who knows.
Of course, if they play bad, they will get beat sooner. No gimmes for them in 3A.
Team that has hosted less playoff games gets to host.
If that is a tie, it goes to the higher seed.
In 7A the top half is a joke, have to think LWC to the semis there. BR has a brutal road with DGN and Batavia likely in round 2 and quarters, MC vs SCN in round 2 will be a good game. Rita should have a clear patch to the Semi and likely play the winner of MC/SCN
Two Catholic schools in 8A and what are the odds they’re paired in the same quarter..
I never mentioned it in my posts, but all 3 weeks I did the brackets, I thought 7A was weird and bunched up and had a lot of non-traditional names.
Is that true? I remember a biz bag years ago where a team that was coming to Wilmo didn't wanna play at night. I remember a rule that if the teams couldnt agree, it was set at like 1:30 on Saturday
Has nothing to do with odds. The process is as straight forward as it gets
Im pretty sure all games have to be saturday. Unless both teams agree to friday. Unless something has changed since last year.
This is directly from the ihsa website...
The game must be played on Saturday, unless both schools agree to play the game on Friday. Friday games must not be scheduled during school hours. Saturday games must start between 1 pm and 7 pm. The schools must agree on the starting time of the game. If they cannot come to an agreement, the IHSA Office will set the starting time.

The classification and seeding process isn't necessarily perfect, but it is as transparent as possible.
I think they let the AD's figure it out among themselves. I know MC had played on a Friday round 1 four of the last 5 years, but all those teams they played were local. If distance has to be traveled I think they will obviously play on Saturday. MC has to go to Rockford area in Round 1 so I'm expecting a Saturday game
That's not true.
Both have to agree to Friday. If not its Saturday by default. If time cant be agreed upon, the IHSA decides.
He literally copied that from the ihsa website. It's as he posted. Obviously if the AD's come to agreement, then everything is all good.
Its the literal ihsa rule verbatim. Belleville east has played a friday night game in south elgin and maine south the past 2 years, much further than chicago to rockford.
I remember a few years back that StL played at Quincy, and we played Friday night
Miss the Wednesday playoff games
I'm not disagreeing that it's not the rule's verbatim it just seems like a lot of the games are played on Friday....I figured travel time and school hours were taken into consideration between the AD's.
Feels like Fenwick would’ve been better off losing to Carmel. Their reward for winning is drawing Brother Rice in the first round.
Those were generally awful, lopsided games. Good riddance.
LWC looks like a cakewalk to 7A semis. Haven't really played a tough regular season schedule and have very favorable matchups in playoffs
