Pro Basketball in Springfield, MO

[Flysmallie]

Ok it's not the NBA, but there is a new professional basketball team in Springfield, MO. 

I went to my first game to watch them last Saturday and it did not disappoint. A very competitive game against the Tri-State 66'ers. In the end the Bulldogs were on top 92-77. That makes them 3-0 on the season. This is some fun basketball to watch. There is another game this Saturday at 5pm. All home games are played at the O'Reilly Family Event Center on the campus of Drury University.

Are these guys former college players waiting on a change to move up?

Interesting, if there was a team in NWA I might go watch a game or two.  Looking at this years draft, I would say these guys are a level below G-league.  Pretty good players I bet, but I doubt any of them are NBA bound.

They are former college players but I don’t think any of them are thinking about moving up. Hell I don’t even know if that’s a possibility. Talking with the team owner I think they only thing they are wanting is something a bit better than the normal men’s league and for it to be entertaining. It was that for sure. 
 

At least I think it was. I’m the most uninformed basketball fan in the world and 99.99% of my experience is with high school basketball. Not playing though. I’ve never played the game.
