Pete and Zac break down a huge week in Billiken athletics, headlined by Men’s Basketball allegedly dominated Iowa in a closed-door scrimmage. We’ve got some fan eyewitness accounts, and plenty of analysis on Josh Schertz’s NBA-style approach and whether that translates to the college game.

Plus:
🏀 T.J. Hargrove signs an Exhibit 10 with the Nuggets (and what’s next for him).
⚽️ Men’s Soccer blanks GW and VCU for back-to-back road shutouts.
👟 Women’s Soccer keeps rolling with a 2–1 win over Duquesne — now it’s showdown time vs. Dayton.
🏐 Volleyball hits the halfway mark of A-10 play and looks to bounce back against Rhode Island.
🏑 Field Hockey runs into a top-10 buzzsaw.
🏊 Swimming & Diving wins big in Little Rock.
🏃 Cross Country preps for Pre-Nationals in Columbia.
