We're back to kick off season 4 of SGF with our annual game of Name That Conference, as the 2025-26 PSU non-conference schedule has been released. Evan and Steve go game by game and provide their thoughts on how year 3 of the Mike Rhoades era will kick off. 

We also talk about the buyout of the VCU home and home series and discuss Coach Rhoades becoming the first ex-VCU coach not to return to Richmond to compete.

Not the outcome we were looking for out of TBT weekend but we are nonetheless back to recap all that went wrong for the Happy Valley Hoopers against the Raleigh 919 Legends Friday afternoon. 

We also ponder the question what will this Happy Valley Hoopers team look like next year should they return for Year 4 and who would make a welcome addition to the roster?

Yanic Konan Niederhauser is staying in the NBA draft and we're back to break down what that means both for him (yay) and for Penn State's '25-'26 season (not so yay).

Does this really change the outlook for Penn State's season? Will YKN get a guaranteed NBA contract? Listen to find out our thoughts!

We're back to breakdown a couple new additions to the roster for next season but does it really change the projections for the team? 

We spend most of the time discussing YKN's rising NBA draft stock and tackle the question: should he stay or should he go? 

Finally, we have some fun with Apple Reviews and ChatGPT

Well we don't have much to talk about but we're back regardless with a new episode. 

We talk about the addition of Cincinnati transfer Josh Reed but, more importantly, the lack of additions. What this means for the prospects of a successful year 3 for Mike Rhoades and what we want to see the staff accomplish in the next few months (aside from the obvious of just adding players).

We're back to recap the week that was (not) for Penn State Basketball, including Miles Goodman's new home and a big swing and miss in the transfer portal. 

However, the bulk of the episode will be spent in conversation with 2025 NIT champion and former All Big Ten Penn State guard Dan Earl. We talk about the Chattanooga Mocs' miraculous late season run and take a trip down memory lane with the former 4 year starter and longtime assistant.
