INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Basketball Coaches Association has announced their 2024-25 Boys Basketball All-State Teams.

Fifteen seniors and 15 underclass boys' basketball players have earned "Supreme 15" All-State honors. The IBCA also named Large School All-State teams and Small School All-State teams.

The "Supreme 15" is the top honor awarded, and players were voted to that group without regard to school size. The Large School and Small School all-state teams are secondary accolades -- the Large School group including players from Class 3A and Class 4A schools and the Small School group including players from Class A and Class 2A schools. Players who make the Supreme 15 are not considered for Large School or Small School honors.

In addition, 94 more seniors and 93 more underclass players were selected honorable mention all-state. The honorable mention laurels are awarded without regard to school size. In total, 277 players -- 139 seniors and 138 underclass players -- were recognized on the 2025 IBCA boys' basketball All-State teams. In total, 670 players were nominated (271 seniors, 399 underclass) from 316 schools
