2020 Indiana High School Basketball State Tournament: Sectional Semifinal Scores

The Friday night of sectionals is always a busy one as the tournament goes from 256 teams to 128. As expected, there were a lot of great games around the state. Lawrence North knocked off a top 10 team for the second night in a row, defending 4A champion Carmel won on a buzzer beater, and Purdue commit Caleb Furst won with ease.
