Boys State Basketball State Tournament Field

There has been a great deal of conversation regarding how the State Tournament field is set. I was and am a big supporter of the current system. I have always wanted to see competitive games all the way though the State Tournament and felt that the current system was the best (so far) chance of getting that. I like seeing the best 8 teams make it to Lincoln based upon their entire body of work rather than just a couple games at the right time.

Class A is and will always be an outlier. I don't know why it is so much different than all of the other classes. There are 3 teams that rank outside of the Top 8 in Power Points. One of those is 9th.

Class B has no State Tournament qualifiers outside the Top 8 in Power Points.

Class C-1 has 2 qualifiers outside the Top 8 with one being 9th.

Class C-2 has 1 qualifier outside the Top 8 and that team is 9th.

Class D-1 has no qualifiers outside the Top 8.

Class D-2 has 1 qualifier outside of the Top 8 and again that team is 9th.

I believe that the NSAA Membership that drives these decisions should be commended for a job well done. I don't know anyone to thank, but if I did know them I certainly would do so.

Can someone explain why Class A always seems to be like this? Is is a difficulty of schedule issue or what makes this happen? I live in Rural Nebraska so I don't have the benefit of knowing any of the teams in terms of watching games or the like.

As far as the class A situation is that there is obviously more depth of talent on every team which in a 1 game scenario the best team doesn’t always win.
Unfortunately for us as hoops fans some of the top talent in the state won’t be showcased for all of us to see at the state tournament.
Wish I had an answer of how to get more of the best teams in A down to Lincoln but I don’t
