Zaleski Sports Girls Basketball Playoff Predictions
We're less than 24 hours away from the girls playoff brackets being released by the WIAA and after all the number-crunching, all the hours spent projecting the seeds, it's time for our predictions as to what the brackets will actually look like. This prediction is also the first one that we're releasing this year that factor's in tiebreakers, namely head-to-head. If a seed score is within a certain range, the seed can be decided by head-to-head matchups, if they happened. So let's dive in and see where we project your favorite team to play once the tournament begins.
