Well Hello There

Well I just started my blog on Valley Basketball. Let's Hope for a fun ride!

We'll Start this off with my take on how the Valley is doing this year. The league is down majorly this year. They are hangin' with BCS teams but just cant seem to get victories. We are 2-10 against the BCS with the two wins coming against Arkansas and Auburn both coming at the hands of the Missouri State Bears. But there have been some close ones. Wichita had a couple tough losses in the Old Spice Classic to Georgetown (58-50) and to Michigan State (65-57). SIU had a couple close games in the 2K Sports Classic with Duke and UCLA and ended up losing considerably to both teams. They hung close for 2/3 of each game and then it Duke and UCLA pulled away. And it doesn't get any easier. In the coming weeks Bradley plays @ Michigan State, Indiana State plays @ Louisville, Drake goes to Ames to take on Iowa State, and UNI plays @Iowa. I guess this is a problem that all Mid Major conferences. One year you're good and then when you cannot repeat that year, people wonder why.
