SMQBs

The SMQBs were lucky to talk with Coach Carolyn Kieger, head coach of the Penn State Lady Lions, about all things women's hoops. The interview covers Coach Kieg's personal journey through hoops; how she has succeeded at building programs; the impact of Caitlin Clark; the US Women's Hoops team; transfer portal; NIL; and who she is excited to watch this year. And of course, we dive into why she is so excited for the Lady Lions upcoming season.

The boys then talk about the historic Stanley Cup Game 7, Game 3 of the College World Series; USA Soccer; they throw some punches and hand out a Lasso. Fun episode start to finish!

The US Open brought some of the greatest golf drama in a long time! Rory vs Bryson! PGA vs LIV! So who was the winner? Bryson or the Pinehurst Course? And about Pinehurst, does it make for great watching or are we watching gimmicky golf?

The Mavs and Oilers are living on a prayer in the NBA Finals and the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Just how great are the odds against? Almost never ever in a championship series. What will it take, other than a miracle? Home court and home ice will likely be too much.

A special appearance from the SMQBs mailbag. Can we handle the truth?!?

With Baseball about to be the only thing on the plate for a while, eyes turn to the very best soccer players in the world playing Euro24 and CopaAmerica over the next few weeks. Don't miss Messi and Mbappe and Bellingham.

Plus, punch for Rory? Lasso for Bryson? And Buzzers too!!

Why oh why was the most watched women's basketball player left of the national team? Is this fair to Caitlin? Was this the result of petty jealousy? Or is this simply the fact that it isn't her time? How will the Olympic hoops ratings be?

Pinehurst No. 2 hosts the US Open this week. Is it the field v. the course? Scheffler's odds are amazing -- are they too good? Is Victor Hovland a favorite? What about Jon Rahm? Tony Finau? Do the SMQBs have any betting credibility?!

NBA Finals Time!! Does Tatum suck? How about Kyrie? Is Porzingis healthy? Who is the leading MVP Candidate? Has Pope completely changed his tune? How is that Mavs Backcourt working out?

Does the Stanley Cup permanently reside in the state of Florida?

It is College World Series time and Omaha is going to be LOADED with MLB Prospects!

Punchable Face of the Week! Lasso! BuzzerBeater!

It's NBA Finals Time! The Celtics v. Mavs! Is Kristaps Porziņģis the wild card? Can Holliday shut down Luka? Is it live by the three die by the three for the Celtics? Is Luka the best player in the Finals? Or is it Jayson Tatum? Which coach brings more to the table? How abusive will the Boston fans treat Kyrie?Check out the boys' predictions!

But wait, there's more! the Stanley Cup Finals are here too! Is this going to be a defense wins championships series? Is the Panther's goalie the difference maker? Is this Conor McDavid's year?

If you love sports, Charles LeClerc's win at Monaco is a story for you.

The NBA Playoffs are boring -- or are they! Mavs up 3-0, but only after some wild comebacks. The series could easily be 3-0 Timberwolves. Are the TImberwolves just supersoft? Is Gobert's French heritage coming through? Are Luka and Kyrie the ultimate back court? The Celtics have punched their ticket, winning 4-0. Will the Mavs move in to the Finals with a win tonight?

The Finals start June 6 -- why do these guys get a 9 days off?!

The NHL Conference Finals are in play too. Is it Canada v. the USA? Will Dallas put its second team in a major league final? Is the NHL hoping for a Rangers v. Oilers finals? Can Pope name a single player on the Stars?

Next the boys tackle a tragic story, the passing of PGA player Grayson Murray. Will this be a moment that will shine a light on mental health for athletes? One takeaway is keep an eye on your friends and be there for each other.

A memoriam for Bill Walton, a true NBA legend. Was he Jokic before Jokic?

PFOTW! Lasso! Buzzer Beaters!

PGA Championship. Valhalla brought all the drama. Record setting tournament by Xander and Bryson the bridesmaid becomes a fan favorite. Is Valhalla a deserving major course? Was Scottie handcuffed without his caddie?

NBA Playoffs. Game 7 madness by the visiting Pacers and T-Wolves. Unreal shooting and some playoff dawgs. The Mavs and Celts have the talent. Do they got that dawg in them? Plus, Dallas do the playoffs with the Stars playing lights out. Can they dash Canada's hopes? And get ready for clash of Rangers-Panthers.

Epic fútbol season with Man City dynasty, Liverpool love affair between Jurgen Klopp and the Anfield faithful, and the Leverkusen invincibles. MLS awaits the twilight players.

A kick in the Butker, some Sisterly Love, a golf clap for Scottie. Plus young MLB pitchers are all the buzz and the college baseball playoffs are the next must watch sports. Listen up!!

NBA Playoffs. Are the Knicks just too beat up to get past the Pacers? Is this Coach Tibs' fault? Why isn't he going to the bench? Will the Celtics just throttle the Pacers? Could the Knicks make this interesting.

In the West, Pope thinks the Mavs are a lock to get past OKC. Is the three headed Dallas Monster enough to push them through? Is Minnesota a good team? Or a fluke? Where is defensive player of the year Gobert in the playoffs? Is Jokic having his way with him? Is Kyrie finally showing the superstar talent that he claimed to have?

In the NHL -- surprise surprise --Pope thinks the Stars are a lock to come out of the West. Can the Rangers goaltending hold up? What is wrong with Boston?

Bucket List Sports Events! Monaco? World Cup Soccer? Ryder Cup? Indy 500? The Masters? College World Series? What is your bucket list sports event?

NFL Schedule Release! Philly v. Green Bay in Brazil?! Commanders v. Dallas on Thanksgiving! How do you even watch a game anymore? How many streaming services do you need? $880 if you want to watch every game? Outrageous!

PFOTW! Lasso! Buzzer Beaters!
