Regional Saturday is an epic day. There is none of this "win, get a day off, then win again" to make it to the last 16. Nope. At 16 sites across the state four teams will enter and only one will leave as a regional champ. Win your first game and you get a few hours off before you're at it again on the same floor against a team that also had to survive a morning game.
The Final 64 teams are already mostly survivors. Two teams, Northwestern and Northview in Class 3A, have bucked the odds and won sectionals with a losing record overall.
