The final episode of Sportsvoice of 2023 was on Saturday.  The guys had plenty to talk about with area holiday tournaments, SIU men's basketball, and more!  Saluki coach Bryan Mullins dropped in as well!

Coach Kyle Smithpeters visited with Matt Varney after the Vols learned where they landed in the NJCAA Tournament.  The #4 Vols will play the winner of #13 Harcum and #20 College of Southern Idaho on Wednesday March 16 at Noon on 103.5 ESPN.

Thursday, John A. Logan men's basketball coach Kyle Smithpeters was announced as an assistant coach to new Missouri coach Dennis Gates.  As he prepares to depart for Columbia, Smithpeters gave a parting statement that you can listen to below.

Smithpeters went 241-73 over 10 seasons as the head coach of the Vols and coached a pair of NJCAA Player of the Year in Sean East, who is also headed to Mizzou, and Jay Scrubb who went directly to the NBA after his time at John A. Logan College.

Smithpeters plans to join Sportsvoice on Saturday morning.
