The Massachusetts State Basketball Tournament is an incredible events filled with amazing stories and a rollercoaster of emotions. Preliminary games are played if there are over 32 teams in a bracket. These games are typically played the week AFTER February vacation. Some teams could play as early as Monday.
Like all rounds, half the teams will end their season and a few will “survive and advance.” Each round is a one game season where anything can happen. Some teams may have a magical run like the 1983 NC State Wolfpack team that had an incredibly journey to a National Championship under the guidance of the legendary Jim Valvano.
