* The tradition of Illinois basketball was that when a team won the Sectional, the next tourney level was considered the State Tourney. Originally in boys basketball when a team won the Sectional, they went to the State Tourney at Champaign. So as State Appearances are figured, it was when a team won Sectionals.
