However, the bulk of the episode will be spent in conversation with 2025 NIT champion and former All Big Ten Penn State guard Dan Earl. We talk about the Chattanooga Mocs' miraculous late season run and take a trip down memory lane with the former 4 year ...
The 2024-25 College Basketball Season officially came to a close on Monday night and we can begin to look forward (or not) to year 3 of the Mike Rhoades era at PSU. We spend some extra time this episode diving into the longevity (or lack thereof) of the top freshman recruits from years past and wonder aloud if this is a sign of what's to come not just at Penn State but across the college basketball landscape.

Evan and Steve break down the conflicted feelings associated with this bittersweet ending and try to figure out what the postseason situation is this year thanks to the addition of a new postseason tournament.
Steve also provides a resolution to his pre-season sho...
As Rob Schneider as 'Townie' made famous in The Waterboy, "Oh no! We suck again!". Two halftime leads, two close losses with chances to tie in each that clanked off the rim, Evan talks about the week that was in Penn State Basketball as they became the first team to ever be eliminated from Big Ten Tournament contention.

We wrap up the non-conference portion of the season with a special guest! We are joined by AP Top 25 Voter Mitch Northam (@PrimetimeMitch) to discuss why he likes the Nittany Lions enough to keep them in his personal Top 25.

Penn State performed as expected this week, albeit with a missed opportunity to pad their postseason resume. We talk all about it, plus preview a Drexel matchup that may end up being one of the better non-conference opponents on a dismal NonCon schedule.

The Nittany Lions enjoyed a well-deserved weekend off after taking down a Top 10 Purdue team at home. We talk about how it went down and preview the first true road matchup of the young season at Rutgers next week. We also spend a little bit of time on the very bad Coppin State team PSU plays next weekend. But let's be honest, you're focused on football aren't you? We forgive you.
