2017 Class AAA State Boys' Basketball Tournament Bracket

Oak Ridge (30-2) will play Brentwood (26-8) in a quarterfinal game in the Class AAA boys’ state basketball tournament on Wednesday.

The Oak Ridge-Brentwood game starts at 2:45 p.m. Central time (3:45 Eastern) on Wednesday, March 15, in Murphy Center at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro.

Here are the other three quarterfinal games on Wednesday:

  • Bearden (22-9) versus Independence (23-10) at 10 a.m. Central (11 a.m. Eastern)
  • Southwind (31-6) versus Oakland (24-7) at 11:30 a.m.
  • East Hamilton (25-10) versus Memphis East (33-3) at 1:15 p.m.

The semifinal games are Friday morning at MTSU, and the championship game is at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Oak Ridge-Brentwood

Oak Ridge, returning to the state tournament for the fourth time in five years, was the District 3-AAA tournament champion this year, as well as the Region 2-AAA champion.

The Wildcats were undefeated in District 3-AAA, and they have not lost to a Tennessee team this season. They’ve won their last 18 games.

Brentwood, which is south of Nashville, was the District 11-AAA runner-up this season and the Region 6-AAA runner-up.

The Bruins did not make it to the state tournament last year, but they finished as Class AAA runner-up in 2015, when they beat Memphis East, the 2016 state champion, in a semifinal game.

Brentwood made it to a state semifinal game in 2013 and 2014.

Bearden-Independence

Bearden, of Knoxville, was the District 4-AAA champion and Region 2-AAA runner-up.

Southwind-Oakland

Southwind, of Memphis, was the District 15-AAA champion and Region 8-AAA runner-up, losing to Memphis East.

Oakland, of Murfreesboro, was the District 7-AAA runner-up and Region 4-AAA champion.

East Hamilton-Memphis East

East Hamilton, of Chattanooga, was the District 5-AAA runner-up and Region 3-AAA champion.

Memphis East eliminated Oak Ridge in a Class AAA quarterfinal in 2015 before being eliminated by Brentwood in a semifinal.

Oak Ridge has a Class AAA Mr. Basketball finalist, Tajion Jones, while Memphis East has the Mr. Basketball winner, Alex Lomax. Lomax led the Mustangs in the 2015 quarterfinal win over the Wildcats.
