Well, here it is, the first post of a new year! And what better to get it started with some news and notes!

Let's get started by talking some basketball. Yes, it might be late, and roughly halfway through the season. But, like the old saying goes, "better late than never".

We'll start with the preseason predictions by conference, women and men, beginning with the Gulf South Conference.
