About Us

Welcome to Valley Hoops Insider!

We believe that the heart and soul of college basketball is in the heartland of America. We love the purity of basketball-first schools, regional rivalries, and old school gymnasium basketball.

We’re dedicated to covering, celebrating, and exploring the things that make Valley basketball so great.

There is tremendous tradition in the heartland – specifically in the valley conferences. Our primary focus is on the Missouri Valley Conference and Ohio Valley Conferences. We also touch on midwestern greats like the Missouri Tigers, St. Louis Billikens, and Illinois Fighting Illini.

If you circle Austin Peay-Murray State or Illinois State-Bradley on your calendar, this is for you. If you get equally excited about Arch Madness as March Madness, you’re a Heartlander and a Valley Hoop Insider. And if you’re a basketball purist then look no further than Valley Hoops Insider. We’re honored to share this passion with you!

Valley Hoops Insider is growing by the day as we connect with passionate fans across the heartland. We’ve got contributors in gyms all across the midwest and readers all across the country. As we continue to expand our coverage of the best basketball in America we are adding more and more content. If your team or conference isn’t covered yet we’d love to know what you’re interested in and how we can make sure the best of midwest college basketball is featured here!

Thanks for reading, and God bless the Valley!
