This week on Hoop Troop and Shooters Touch, the Iowa high school basketball postseason is officially here with the release of the 1A and 2A state tournament brackets — and things are already getting wild.

We break down what the brackets mean, which teams got tough draws, and who has a real path to Casey's Center.

It was also a crazy week in 3A, with most of the top 10 teams taking losses, and we try to make sense of the chaos heading into March.

We also preview and react to some of Iowa’s biggest games:

Waukee vs Waukee Northwest
Kuemper Catholic vs Storm Lake
Clear Lake vs Fort Dodge St. Edmond

Plus we talk about teams like Ballard, ADM, Johnston, Dowling, Knoxville, and Forest City as the playoff picture starts to take shape.

And of course, all your favorite segments:
