The Dream Teams

I don't know about you but I would love to see a four team tournament featuring number one ranked Scott County Central, number one ranked and unbeaten Sikeston, unbeaten and highly ranked Murphysboro and Du Quoin.
It would be interesting to see how the two states would compete against each other and who would be the last team standing.
Talking some Ohio Valley Conference hoops, if your looking for a turning point in the Murray State season it may have been Saturday night in the Racers lopsided victory over SEMO.
Although Murray State is sitting in 3rd place in the OVC,  Billy Kennedy's bunch still has the look of a champion.
Finally, speaking of champion, I can't wait for the Super Bowl.
I love the talent Green Bay has along with two weeks rest.
But Pittsburgh just seems to find a way to win, and these Steelers have more big game experience.
I'll pick Pittsburgh but it would not surprise me one bit if Green Bay takes the title.
See you Friday night on Heartland Hoops!

Heartland Hoops Tips Off

It's great to have Heartland Hoops back for another season!
We will continue with all the highlights, scores, live reports and our Heartland Hoops Subway Shot of the Night.
No lack of talent in the Heartland. Scott County Central is ranked #1 and their top player---6'9" inch Otto Porter is getting national attention--AND HE DESERVES IT!
The Sikeston Bulldogs are also ranked first in Class 4. Head Coach Greg Holifield does a great job with that program and he certainly has some talent to work with.
The Southern Illinois power is stacked in Class 2A with the following rankings: 5. Murphysboro 6. Nashville
and Harrisburg also received votes.
Harrisburg and Murphysboro play tonight on Heartland Hoops.
See you tonight at 10.
