KSR's Kentucky High School Basketball Post-Region Tournament Top 25

High school basketball region tournaments across the state of Kentucky wrapped up last week, which means the 2024 UK Healthcare Boys’ Basketball Sweet 16 Tournament field is officially set.

With that in mind, we’re ranking all of the top 25 teams from across the state and then doing a separate list of just the 16 teams that will compete at Rupp Arena on March 20-23 for the state championship.

Check out KSR’s post-region tournament rankings and Sweet 16 rankings below. Myself and Clark Howell have a full podcast breakdown of the Sweet 16 you can check out here. You can view the post-district tournament rankings from last week here.
