SLIDESHOW: 12 things to know about the state tournament
The NJSIAA has released the boys basketball sectional seedings, with the exception of the bracket that would be the home of Paterson Eastside. According to the NJSIAA, the N1G4 bracket is being held, pending an investigation into the eligibility of Paterson Eastside, the team that would otherwise be the No. 1 seed.
Paterson Eastside coach Juan Griles was suspended earlier this week after NJ Advanced Media released a report that six players from overseas were found to be living with him. Coaches from around the state reacted to the allegations.
All other brackets are unofficial and subject to change until noon, Friday, Feb. 10.
