One of my favorite times of the year!

Here we are, March! What a great time on the sports calendar. MLB starts in a few weeks, but before that. . .March Madness! I don't know if I can leagally use that term, but I'm not profiting from the site, so I'll use it. Point is this is a great time of the year, easily one of my favorites, and it starts tonight.

The Missouri Valley Conference tournament kicks off tonight at Scottrade Center with their opening round games. #8 Indiana State takes on #9 Wichita State is at 6:00 and then #7 Missouri State takes on #10 Evansville at 8:30.
By the way our GM, Tony, is a Missouri State alum and will be rooting hard for the Bears this weekend!

This will be the third consecutive season I have had the pleasure to work with the Valley staff during the tournament. I'll be one of a legion of media assistants. The Valley staff does a fantastic job on putting on the tournament and I am proud to be a part of it. The basketball is some of the best you'll find. The fan support is outstanding and it makes for a great atmosphere.

As you may know my heart lies with a certain Atlantic 10 team that is perched squarely on the bubble right now, the Dayton Flyers. I won't get into the Flyers at this point. I will talk more about them next week. I will only say they end the regular season on Saturday at home against St. Joe's. They need that win to stay in the NCAA conversation.

So join me at Scottrade Center this weekend, and don't forget the FL radio show airs Saturday afternoon. Details on that below!
