Here's the full episode of the College Hoops Chat radio show (48 mins) from December 6, 2021.

I open the show with thoughts on Iona's wins last week vs Marist & Rider, plus Purdue over Iowa, St. Bonaventure over Buffalo (strange game for me) & Alabama over Gonzaga. Next, I'm joined by former coach Pat Kennedy to discuss Iona's progress under Rick Pitino and how the Gaels are becoming a typical gritty/tough Pitino team to close out games. We discuss how teams can play so differently in successive games. Pat also takes us back to how he and Jim Valvano built their legendary Iona teams. Then, I interview Michael Szabo, a senior at St. John's who is Sports Director for WSJU Radio, and we discuss the Red Storm's inconsistent opening of season with so many transfers, along with recent loss to Kansas and win over Fordham. I also chat with callers in final segment - #KennyFromRye & #JohnFromPortChester.

I open with thoughts on 2 teams that had great weekends: Purdue (won Hall of Fame Tip-Off at Mohegan Sun) & St. Bonaventure (won Shriners Children's Charleston Classic), plus an Iona update (win over Liberty). Then I interview: 1) former coach Pat Kennedy about issues facing coaches in early season like getting team ready when it's a big favorite and having the right amount of guys in rotation (issue for Villanova in 2 games so far), and 2) Josh Linke from The Zagaholic website and we do full review of #1 Gonzaga.
