WEST PLAINS, Mo. – A new video segment, “Above the Rim,” will keep fans of the Missouri State University-West Plains Grizzly Basketball team up to date on team happenings and give them an opportunity to submit questions to Head Coach Yancey Walker.
Beginning Jan. 5, fans can tune in live at 10 a.m. every Monday at www.ihigh.com/msuwestplains to see and hear what Walker has to say about the team as it progresses through the season. Those who cannot tune in live can visit the site later and watch the short segment in the archives.
Fans also may ask Walker questions through Twitter by using the hashtag #GrizzlyTalk or they may e-mail questions to AboveTheRim@MissouriState.edu.
“This is just another example of what makes our program and our institution special,” Walker said. “This will help our fans from all over the United States and all over the world get a weekly update on what is happening with Grizzly Basketball. This is very exciting, and it makes me proud to be a part of it.”
The program will be sponsored by The Shoe Factory Lofts in West Plains. “I’d like to extend a very special thank you to The Shoe Factory Lofts, whose sponsorship has made this project possible,” Walker said.
