For the first time, the IHSAA has released boys basketball rankings. In a new system announced in November, the IHSAA will use the regular season rankings as a tool to help construct the postseason. Each class has a committee made up of two former coaches and one media member, along with three IHSAA staff members. The rankings will be released on Mondays throughout the season.
