HoriZone Roundtable

With a crush of non-conference games played during the week, Bob and Matt do their best to get through all over them. They include Northern Kentucky's impressive win against Cincinnati, as well as a thrilling game between Oakland and Eastern Michigan

Bob and Matt delve into the first week of the season, which was filled with the usual drubbings against non-D1 competition, seemingly winnable games, and buy games in which only one Horizon League team, Wright State, came out on top.

On the 200th episode of the HoriZone Roundtable, Bob and Matt welcome the commissioner of the Horizon League, Julie Roe Lach (@JRL_HL) to the podcast. Bob and Matt also talk about the busy start of the season (three weeks in a row of games!), plus the kind of self-congratulatory things you'd expect from a milestone episode  

Bob and Matt welcome Ethan Morrison (@EthanMorrison26) from the Colonial Sports Network (@RMU_CSN) and Giovanni Moceri (@GioMoceriWXOU) from WXOU (@WXOU) to the 2022 edition of the Student Media Forum, where they discuss their respective teams, as well as their place in the overall sports media landscape.

Bob and Matt discuss the first exhibition game of the season between Oakland and Grand Valley State. They also pore over the box score that came out of what was supposed to be the secret scrimmage between Detroit Mercy and a Western Michigan squad that featured two ex-Horizon League players.

Part 2 of the post-Preview Week wrap-up, with Bob, John and Blake Schumaker, includes a discussion about Detroit Mercy, led by the HoriZone Roundtable's pick for Player of the Year Antoine Davis, and the rest of the bottom half of the preseason poll.

Bob and John, filling in for Matt, are joined by Blake Schumaker to take about the top half of the HoriZone Roundtable's 2022-23 preseason poll for the Horizon League. This also includes a discussion about the release of the preseason KenPom rankings, in which the conference...did not fare well.

Bob and Matt are once again joined by the play-by-play voices from around the Horizon League to talk about their respective schools and much more. Guest includes:

Bob and Matt discuss the recent announcement that the Horizon League Tournament will continue to play at Indiana Farmers Coliseum for the the foreseeable future. And with nearly all of the non-conference schedules out, they talk about the overall strength of schedule, key games and MTEs, and, of course, the return of Vega Ocho (now Vegas Quatro), which naturally has a Horizon League team involved.

Horizon Boy returns to chat with Bob and Matt about the upcoming Horizon League season. This includes his preseason picks for the conference, as well as a conversation about the recent picks by Lindy's.
