    #185 - Open division tournament talk with sports journalist Aaron Tohtsoni!

    The Open tournament is officially here in the Small Ball Scene!! Before you get too excited, lets be pessimistic for a second. In this episode, Aaron and I talk about some of the good but mostly the bad when it comes to the open tournament. How will it be as meaningful as the conference state title and Vice versa?! Can the AIA make it worth the risk of not being able to compete in your own conference for a state title? (if you make it past the first 2 rounds) Is the conference championship just a knockoff title now? We also talk about how the open has impacted some of the bigger schools already gone through this. Don't miss out!
