Welcome to Heartland Hoops Insider!

We’re dedicated to covering, celebrating, and exploring the things that make heartland basketball so great. Learn more about our purpose and mission!

Welcome to Heartland 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 heartland basketball so great.

There is tremendous tradition in the heartland – specifically in the Valley Conferences. Our primary focus is on the Missouri Valley Conference, Ohio Valley Conference, and Great Lakes Valley Conference. 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 Creighton-Wichita State on your calendar, this is for you. If you get as excited about Arch Madness as you do March Madness, you’re a Heartlander. And if you’re a basketball purist then look no further than Heartland Hoops Insider. We’re honored to share this passion with you!

Heartland 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 heartland!

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.
