We’re less than a week from the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union beginning to announce pairings for the 2022 basketball postseason.
Expect brackets Feb. 2 or 3 in the smaller three classes, Feb. 9 or 10 for the larger two.
Here is the second installment of mock brackets from The Gazette ... all five classes, all 354 teams.

The postseason begins Feb. 10, with it culminating at the state tournament, Feb. 28-March 5 at Wells Fargo Arena, Des Moines.
We are mirroring the method in which the Union seeds 5A basketball. Instead of the traditional 1-4-5 on one side of the bracket and 2-3 on the other, the Union prefers the approach of 1-5 on one side and 2-3-4 on the other.
Our brackets are assembled by using IGHSAU rankings for the top 15 teams, and a combination of Varsity Bound and BC Moore rankings for the rest of the field in each class.
