I know having the Mid-Con Tourney in Tulsa the last few year was an issue for some of you, so I thought I would pass along this news.

Sioux Falls to Host 2009-2010 Summit League Basketball Championships

ELMHURST, Ill. - The Summit League will head to Sioux Falls, S.D., and the Sioux Falls Arena for its men’s and women’s basketball championships in 2009 and 2010 Commissioner Tom Douple announced today.


"We are very excited about having our basketball tournament in Sioux Falls," Douple said. "It will be great for the city and the region, and we anticipate tremendous support from the community. We are especially looking forward to bringing March Madness to the state of South Dakota."

I wouldn't know because the links to the ORU board and other Mid-Con teams have been deleted. I hadn't been checking their board in a while, but I still went over there just for kicks every now and then. I was going to see what they said about Caleb Green not getting drafted. If anyone can put the link on this thread, I'd appreciate it.
