Where does the time go? Boy, this has been a busy year for me. But I won’t bore you with the details, let’s get to it!
The Preseason poll started with few surprises, pretty much shadowing how we ended last season. In the first regular season poll, as things usually shake up, McLennan CC, Northeastern JC, and Columbia State showed up and made themselves known, but McLennan quickly disappeared the next week.
Highly ranked schools Central Florida, Spartanburg and Hutchinson all getting an early introduction to the poll plunge. But no one knows the poll yo-yo better than Indian Hills so far. After last year’s incident, this 1 week exclusion from the polls seems minor, but it makes you wonder what is going on.
Wild things happen every week.

There are several things to do in Hutchinson while your team isn’t playing basketball.
Hutchinson has a good selection of places to eat, as well as a few hometown places for you to try.I will try not to forget anyone, and if there is something that needs to be added, I will gladly add it. Also, this list has no particular order. Just my random thoughts.

I should have an article up this afternoon and evening with all the regions and their brackets (those that are set) and we’ll discuss the Zone Qualifiers and At-Large bids in a little more detail.
