Pre-season is finally over...

Its the best time of the year! Preseason hoops came to a close and everyones' seasons are getting underway. There's nothing better than turning on the TV every night and knowing you wont be stuck watching "Keeping up with the Kardashians." There's a great variety of basketball starting in late November. NBA teams are rounding out their first month of play...NCAA teams are traveling around the country for their pre-conference play tournaments, and high school teams are getting their starting lineups finalized.

This basketball madness allows a lot more intelligent conversation to circulate blogs, forums, and discussion boards (well, at least more intelligent than pre-season conversations). People are steering away from conversations such as "who will be the Big Ten Player of the Year?" and "Top Freshman in the Big 12," etc. Now since fans and viewers have had the chance to get a GLIMPSE of the season, conversations start rolling around about specific players, specific games, and updated information about tournament standings and rankings.

As much as I love to give my two cents about who I think will be first team all conference, or who I believe will win coach of the year, now it is finally the time to talk about CURRENT standings, current match ups, and actual information. I've been following these sites for the past month +, but now the real fun comes along...let the real games begin.
