All winter it shaped up to be the least predictable Open Division bracket in any sport since Arizona adopted the playoff format.
The 2025 girls basketball open did not disappoint. #2 seed Millennium was the only team with home court advantage to win a quarterfinal Thursday night - and the Tigers beat the defending champions.
Millennium (22-6) built a 40-27 cushion after three quarters and held on after #7 Phoenix Xavier College Prep (20-9) got as close as three in the final four minutes. The Tigers regrouped with a 9-4 closing kick to win 53-45.
