Summer is nearly over but the heat is turning up in the FIBA World Cup and the Premier League. The guys check-in on what's happened thus far in men's basketball's biggest international event, including NBA players to lookout for. We close with recap of the first three Premier League match weeks and the early season tussles between Newcastle - Liverpool and Liverpool - Chelsea.

The World Cup quarterfinal stage from down under is upon us, but it's surprisingly taking place without the United States. We talk through the quarterfinal matchups and what happened that led to Team America going home early. Plus, we check-in on the college basketball offseason and recruiting news: the Illini are currently traveling in Spain, a place almost as beautiful as Champaign, Illinois.

We recorded an episode live from the draft (sort of) and gave instant reaction to the top picks! We also broke down the big trades that have already occurred: CP3, Beal, Kristaps, and Marcus Smart are all on the move in big roster shakeups.

Manchester City have been crowned European champions and are now one of the new sides that can call themselves treble winners. We have a special guest (!) to break it all down. Plus we check-in in the NBA Finals, where the Nuggets have taken a commanding 3-1 lead. We close the episode with some summer soccer transfer rumors, as our guest gives us some intel on how Newcastle could build their squad to compete in next season's Champions League.

In between episodes released in line with current events, we'll also be releasing some episodes that unfortunately didn't make it to air right away. Today's episode is our 2023 NBA Conference Finals preview.

After a little unintentional hiatus (sorry, listeners), we are back with a NBA Finals episode hot off the end of game 1. We also look back to the conference finals and discuss what's next for the losing teams: Boston and LA. Finally, we turn to college, where the NBA draft and transfer news keep the offseason gossip hot!

"Under no circumstances" are we making the listeners wait any longer for another episode. We're back with NBA, WNBA and college hoops news and notes. Then we dive into our first round recap and second round preview. Enjoy!

Podcasting in that wonderful time in between Selection Sunday and the start of the tournament, the anticipation is building and we break all four regions down.  We highlight some teams and players to watch, answer who's on upset alert, predict the final four, and, of course, discuss Max's annual Illinois prediction. 

Coach Sully once again joins us, this time in the wake of Mac McClung's dunk contest victory and some HUGE trade deadline moves.
