Boys basketball: 2023 Bergen County Jamboree bracket, scores, schedule

Don Bosco has been chosen the No. 1 seed for the 66th Bergen County Jamboree boys’ basketball tournament.

Ramapo is seeded No. 2 and defending champion Bergen Catholic is No. 3 in a 24-team field that was selected and seeded Monday night by the Jamboree Committee. The top eight seeds enjoy first-round byes, while seeds 9 through 24 square off Thursday at the site of the higher seed.

Lodi did not apply to the Jamboree, which meant 20 teams earned automatic bids with a winning percentage of .650 or better, and four teams received at-large bids: Ridgewood, Demarest, Dwight-Englewood and Northern Highlands.

The Round of 16 will be held Saturday, with four games each at Northern Highlands and Tenafly. The quarterfinals are scheduled for Feb. 4 and semifinals for Feb. 11, both at Hackensack, and the championship will be held Feb. 17 at Fairleigh Dickinson’s Rothman Center in Hackensack.

This file will be updated all tournament long with scores and future schedules. All schedules are subject to change.
