(St. Louis, MO) – It is quarterfinal day at the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament and we have a special treat on Voices of The Valley. In this edition, we focus totally on the Bradley Braves and Missouri State Bears.
Those two teams meet in Saturday’s second game. The Braves are 17 and 14 and the Bears are 16 and 15. Missouri State swept Bradley in the regular season.
We connected with the ‘scribes’ Wyatt Wheeler from the Springfield News Leader and Dave Reynolds of the Peoria Journal Star. We were also privileged to spend time with play-by-play broadcasters Dave Snell (Bradley) and Art Hains (Missouri State).
First a word from our sponsors!
Wyatt Wheeler is a great writer and covers all things Missouri State.
Dave Snell has broadcast close to 1,100 Bradley Braves’ games. He is a hall-of-famer and a great man. We discussed the tournament, the matchup and our mutual friend, the deceased Larry Cotlar.
The Journal Star’s Dave Reynolds is a hall-of-famer too. You can’t swing a dead cat in Enterprise Center without hitting someone that is in a hall-of-fame.
Art Hains is, you guessed it, a hall-of-famer! He’s the voice of Missouri State sports and Bears basketball.
Stay tuned to the site, more editions of Voices of the Valley are on the way.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
