Well we don't have much to talk about but we're back regardless with a new episode.
We talk about the addition of Cincinnati transfer Josh Reed but, more importantly, the lack of additions. What this means for the prospects of a successful year 3 for Mike Rhoades and what we want to see the staff accomplish in the next few months (aside from the obvious of just adding players).

We're back to recap the week that was (not) for Penn State Basketball, including Miles Goodman's new home and a big swing and miss in the transfer portal.

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!".

Well that was unexpected! Penn State goes 2-0 this week for the first time in a long time and what's perhaps most impressive is that both wins were quite convincing! We break it down and preview what's left to be done for this team to sneak into the Big Ten Tournament and keep their season alive.
