CIF Sac-Joaquin Section 2024 boys basketball playoff: Updated scores, matchups, bracket, game times (2-19-2024)
There were stunners abound in three divisions of the 2023 CIF Sac-Joaquin Section boys basketball playoff semifinals on Monday.
The biggest may have been Lincoln of Stockton, which for the second consecutive round went on the road to defeat a higher seed, in this case the Trojans defeated a 28-2 Rocklin squad three days after it rocked second-seed Monterey Trail.
Lincoln now hopes to stun the top three seeds when it faces top-seed Modesto Christian, a 64-56 win over visiting Inderkum, in Wednesday's championship game at Golden 1 Center. Both teams enter with 26-5 records.

In D2, fourth-seed Del Oro (24-7) went on the road to beat top-seed Jesuit-Carmichael, 66-62 and will now face third-seed Vanden (23-8) which pulled off a surprisingly lopsided 78-59 win at second-seed Capital Christian (23-8).
Top seed Sacramento (24-7) will faced sixth-seed Christian Brothers (19-8) in the Division 3 championship starting at noon at Golden 1 Center Wednesday.
Semifinal play continues Tuesday in Division 4-6.
