The 2010 Minnesota Girls' State Basketball tournament brackets were announced today along with the seedings in the two large classes.

Class A and AA brackets were predetermined by sections by the choice of the coaches while Class AAA and Class AAAA seed the top four teams.  Coaches voted to determine the top four seeds of each of the two largest classes.  From there a blind draw of the remaining four teams in each class is held to establish the opponent for each seeded team.

The results saw DeLaSalle in Class AAA and Lakeville North in Class AAAA getting the top seeds.
