Notables About the Draw To conduct the random drawing for the boys basketball state tournament, the IHSAA places ping pong balls representing each school in a given sectional into a lottery style air mix machine. A motorized fan in the bottom of the machine blows the balls around the inside of the transparent container and air then forces each ball up through a tube in random order. For example, the first ball retrieved from the machine will be the visiting team in game one with the second ball representing the home team in game one. The third ball to come out is the visitor in game two and the fourth ball the home team in game two. That same method is followed through all 64 sectionals and 16 regionals. No. of Schools Entered: 400 teams, 5,798 participants. By Class: 101 4A teams; 99 3A teams; 100 2A teams; 100 1A teams. Total No. of Games: 396 games in 26 days.
