Morgan coach Scott Hunt looks on during the 3A boys basketball championship game against Richfield on Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2025, at the UCCU Center in Orem.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The boys basketball state championship brackets for the 3A and 4A tournaments, released by the UHSAA on Saturday morning, assigned Morgan the No. 1 seed in the 3A tourney and a matchup with familiar region foe in No. 16 Ben Lomond.<\/p>\n

The Trojans (20-3) have piled a 100-point differential on the Scots (2-21) in two regular-season meetings already, and will welcome BL into their home gym for a second time on Friday, Feb. 13.<\/p>\n

Ogden (14-9), the No. 7 seed, will host No. 10 Manti (9-14) in the opening round Friday. The Tigers ended the regular season winning three of their last four games, but took a 24-point loss at Morgan to cap the regular season.<\/p>\n

All first-round 3A matchups are contested at home sites, with all subsequent rounds held Feb. 19-21 at Southern Utah University\u2019s America First Events Center in Cedar City.<\/p>\n

In the 4A tournament, first- and second-round games are contested at home sites Feb. 10 and Feb. 13. The quarterfinals through the final are Feb. 18-21 at Weber State University\u2019s Dee Events Center in Ogden.<\/p>\n
