BOYS BASKETBALL MEDIA POLL: Badgers still No. 1 in 4A

| January 30, 2025 2:30 PM

The State Boys Basketball Media Poll is determined by a simple points system based on how each voting media member ranks teams in each classification. A team receives five points for a first place vote, four points for a second place vote and so on down through the fifth place team, which receives one point. The rankings are set by listing the teams' point totals from highest to lowest.
