Mark it down now - Sunday, March 3, 2024 - The Shot by Tyler Lapetina to send us to OT in the semifinal ECAC Post Season Tournament game between our Eagles and Penn State Behrend. Join Tom, Biz and Coach Curley as they break down the game that was truly a microcosm of the 2023-2024 season. We had highs, we had lows, we had a record breaking game by senior Chase Husted and yes, we get to talk about one more… this Sunday, 2pm at the Nest vs Alvernia.  It’s a WHITE OUT - be there!

And of equal importance, on Wednesday, March 6th, we need 100 listeners to give $5 or more to the Men’s Basketball program as part of Juniata’s Day of Giving. If we hit 100 donors, an additional $2,500 will be generously given by Mark Sunderland ’21 and Biz will do 1,000 more squats (Potentially at halftime of the ECAC Championship Game). Let’s go.

It’s Doc Green Holiday Tournament time at Juniata this week. Join the fellas as they talk Christmas, preview the Doc Greene and share a very special Holiday poem.

From the heart of the coach to the players' display,
Their yearning for greatness, shining with every play,
The podcast, a vessel, where their voices collide,
Glimpses of vulnerability, moments they confide.

Oh, the power of sports and the tales they can tell,
Of unity and triumph, a narrative to propel,
For in this podcast, an anthem of drive,
A testament to teamwork, the Juniata men's thrive.

It was Senior Day this past Saturday at the Nest and seniors, Nick Rigby and Kohl Bernarding, came up big in route to a comeback victory over Moravian. Nick and Kohl join D3 basketball's best podcast in the business to talk about this season, their careers at Juniata and look ahead to the last two regular season games. The Eagles play Catholic on Wednesday and must revenge a terrible loss in DC. Tom is demanding the whole student body come out for this one. And then they finish the regular season at Scranton, which is likely a big game for  final playoff positions. We're down to crunch time #JuniataNation - Let's go get two big wins this week and roll into the playoffs on fire.
