5A BASKETBALL BRACKET (2/7/24)



Next Two: Rio Rancho (1-5A), Las Cruces (3-5A)
In the Hunt: Centennial (3-5A), Carlsbad (4-5A), Capital (5-5A)
Out (Win the District Tournament): Cibola (1-5A), Piedra Vista (2-5A), Gadsden (3-5A), Mayfield (3-5A), Manzano (5-5A), Rio Grande (5-5A)

Grine's Scoop: This week's notable omissions highlight Rio Rancho and Las Cruces. Rio Rancho, boasting a 14-Freeman Rating, and Las Cruces, holding a 19-Freeman Rating, find themselves on the outside looking in. Rio Rancho's exclusion can be attributed to Roswell's surge, clinching the automatic bid in 4-5A after starting 2-0 in district play. This development shakes up the standings, with Clovis, holding a 9-Freeman rating, slipping to third place in 4-5A behind Hobbs, sporting a 16-Freeman Rating. The ripple effects of these shifts could reverberate throughout the bracket.

Centennial, previously a solid contender, now finds themselves in the "In The Hunt" category after dropping a crucial game to Las Cruces on Tuesday night (February 6th), impacting both their resume and district placement. With selection Sunday looming closer, the anticipation builds as teams jostle for position and await their fate in the upcoming tournament.
