2021 MHSAA boys basketball district pairings — Division 1
Below are the Division 1 boys basketball district pairings for 2021.
The top two seeds were determined by MPR (Michigan Power Rating) formula — with games through Saturday, March 13 counting toward those totals — and placed on the opposite sides of the bracket, so they cannot meet before the district finals. Teams needed at least eight results to be eligible for the seeding, and only the top two teams are seeded — the rest are placed in pre-determined order.
The postseason for Division 1 runs through semifinals (April 8) and finals (April 10) at Breslin Center in East Lansing.
