It's almost time for Santa to leave gifts under the Christmas tree, so we offer our gift to all of you ...

An in-depth audio preview of the 2017 Southeast Missourian Christmas Tournament!

Southeast Missourian sports editor and podcast host Josh Mlot (@semoballJosh) sits down with fellow Southeast Missourian writers Trent Singer (@semoballTrent) and Phillip Suitts (@semoballPhillip) to break down this year's edition of the Xmas Tourney bracket, talk matchups and make excellent predictions.

We swear, the predictions are excellent.

Sit with us for an hour and get yourself ready for a week of high school basketball fun at the Show Me Center.

Oh, and have a wonderful holiday!
