Well, it's been a long day, but I'm in Bartlesville, Okla., and we're less than 12 hours away from the first truly neutral-site Lone Star Conference Postseason Tournament. It’s pretty exciting, really.

The local newspaper today (Tuesday) had a welcome to the players and fans on the front page, a story in sports and there was a full-page, full-color ad in there as well, which looked very professional. There were also signs with the conference tournament logo hung in the lobby of the hotel, and the folks here seem genuinely excited about the event. Stan Lambert and the rest of his crew in the LSC office, it seems, have this thing ready to go.

Be sure to check back often throughout the tournament. While I’ll be primarily covering ACU, Tarleton and Angelo State, I will also have a chance to see and talk with fans and players from most of the teams here, I’m sure. I’ll try to let you know what’s going on here as it happens, and hopefully will be able to offer some in-game insight while sitting courtside.
