Weâ re diving into some hot debates and cool strategies this week! Coach Greg Curley shares his take on sportsmanshipâ should teams always play to the buzzer, or is there a point where respect for your opponent comes first? And what about Penn State? Should their focus be on the Big Ten Championship or locking in a home game? Weâ ve got opinions, and weâ re not holding back.

Coming off a tough loss against Mercy, itâ s time for some soul-searching. The game wasnâ t our best, but Sho Watson showed serious potential, and weâ re looking at the lessons to be learned about preparation, mindset, and teamwork. Resilience is the name of the game, and weâ re not backing down.

To shake things up, Tom throws some out-of-the-box strategies against the wallâ a silent practice, a 24-hour gym session, and a unique (non-basketball!) motivator to get the team recharged and connected. As we gear up for two big home games against Elizabethtown and Wilkes, the excitement is real.

And of course, we couldnâ t resist a little sports banter and bold predictions. Can the team rise to the challenge? Tune in to find out!
