Let's try a little bracketology.

As of today, there are four days left in the 2019-20 high school basketball regular season in this state -- a sad time, because I just love basketball, but we're also just a few more days short of the start of the "second season," the MIAA playoffs.

In my current incarnation as a cable TV basketball announcer, I cover the teams from three local Hockomock League schools. And so far, of the six teams hailing from those, four of them have qualified for postseason play -- the Mansfield boys, the Foxboro boys and girls and the King Philip girls. The King Philip boys need one win in their two games this week, while sadly, the Mansfield girls are out of the running for the first time since 2013.

So, I decided to do a little bracketology -- well, maybe not to that extent, but I did want to see how some of the teams' seedings were shaping up.

The good news locally is that at least two of those teams will have really high seeds. As today dawned, the Mansfield boys have the top seed in Division 1-South, while the Foxboro girls were checking in at No. 2 in Division 2-South. If all that sounds familiar, well, two years ago both teams parlayed high seeds into state championships.

However, a lot can change.

The Hornets enter today's game against Needham (third at 15-3) at 18-2 for the purposes of qualification (their game against Providence Classical does not count). Brockton, also a participant in the Roundball Classic, is 16-2 and two wins in the tournament could propel the Boxers into the No. 1 spot.

Foxboro's girls are 16-2 for tourney purposes, having chosen not to count their win over Feehan. They may not catch 17-1 Norwood (coached by former Feehan star Amy Lepley Quinn) for the No. 1 spot, but they need wins over Scituate and either Old Rochester or Hoosac Valley in the Warrior Classic to fend off Hingham (16-3) or Falmouth (17-3), which is playing in the Riley Classic in Westwood.

I don't do the Foxboro boys' games on Foxboro Cable, but right now they're looking at a No. 13 seed in Division 2-South with two games to go in the boys' Warrior Classic.

As for KP (for whom I broadcast the games on North TV's Plainville Channel), the girls improved their record to 12-8 but could end up anywhere between the No. 9 and No. 11 seeds in D1-South depending upon the results of other games.

And the KP boys are 10-10 going into their participation in the Somerset-Berkley Tournament (playing the host team in the first round), and they need one win in those two games to qualify to get one of the last two seeds in what projects to be a 14-team D1-South field.

As I said, it can all change in a heartbeat before the MIAA has its annual meeting to determine the seeds on Friday. And yes, I'll publish all of them here, and the TV information as soon as I know what I'm doing.

Elsewhere around the area, the Attleboro boys are looking to check in around 6-8 in Division 1-South. Both of Feehan's teams are in, the boys likely around 7-10 in Division 2-South, while the girls (15-3) right now look like a No. 3 seed in D1-South. North Attleboro's girls (9-10) must defeat Attleboro on Wednesday to qualify for D2-South, and both Dighton-Rehoboth teams, Norton's boys, Seekonk's girls and the Tri-County girls are also heading to the postseason.
