LINCOLN – As Nebraska girls high school basketball teams will have more time to prepare for this year’s state tournament, the all-class girls bracket was officially released on Wednesday.

The 2022 NSAA Girls and Boys State Championships will go on during the same week of Monday, March 7 – Saturday, March 12.

During the weeklong state tournament, Classes A, C1 and D2 girls will play Monday, Wednesday and Friday with C1/D2 third place games scheduled for Thursday. Classes B, C2 and D1 girls will play Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday with C2/D1 third place games scheduled for Friday.

Also, a reminder that these game times have flexibility to be adjusted by the NSAA if the same school qualifies for the state tournament in different classes and they play on the same day.
