We are a mere 20 weeks from Midnight Madness, and college basketball talk is beginning to heat up. The diehards have begun debating the upcoming season, and despite the pleasurable ambiance that the summer delivers, hoopheads nationwide can't wait to see colored leaves and pumpkin fields to signal the freshness of a new chance at glory.
Many loyal fans from across the country have tuned into the Bradley Braves Examiner since the first article appeared, and it is time to hear the voice of those that tolerate this collection of words.
I've created a Missouri Valley Basketball Survey, for no reason besides to put the collective thoughts of many into one article. It's no secret that my ruminations have found their way onto hoops forums throughout the nation, mainly from strategic placement, but never have I collectively collected (alliteration, anyone) the musings of those that make up the bases of fans for our wonderful league.
