-==Controversy==
+==Venue Controversy==
 For the first time in the history, the Tournament was moved to a Friday (instead of the traditional Saturday).  The stated reason from the IHSA was that Peoria area hoteliers were becoming increasingly adamant about not making rooms available for only Friday night, for those few teams who spent Friday night in Peoria, on the weekend of the heavily attended IHSA Boys Basketball Championship Tournament.  The Advisory Committee offered recommendations of moving the tournament out of Peoria to a high school, or trying to rent hotel rooms for those few advancing teams that use them in a town about an hour away (Bloomington-Normal being suggested).  These recommendations were rejected, and not voted on by the Advisory Committee.  More than a few coaches termed the move "insulting" as it forced the reworking of a major event, just to please commercial interests revolving around a basketball tournament.

 * The 506 points scored by Wheaton North in their first round match against Sandburg marked the first time since 1987 (the first year of the IHSA SCT) that a team had scored 500 points in a match at the IHSA SCT.  In 1987 and 1988, the format involved 40 question matches, making it the first match in IHSA SCT history to see a team score 500 points on only 30 questions.  This came despite average scoring being somewhat lower than years past.
 * Some Regional Tournaments in downstate Illinois were disrupted by a snowstorm.  While normally held on one day, these tournaments were stretched over three days before wrapping up.
 * This tournament marked the last coaching appearance by Wheaton North coach [[Susan Martin]].  She ended her career with a record of 946-189 (0.833).
