The BLS Podcast

In this week's Villanova Basketball Report, with Bob Long, Kevin Long, and Kevin McClernand, we also bring on Tony Morelli of "Tony's Takes," a St. Joseph's University-based radio show that focuses on Hawks basketball. We discussed the matchup this year, as well as some classic rivalry debates, such as the dynamics of the Big Five over the years, as well as the role of the Palestra in the Big Five (Start-30:20). We then displayed the Top 5 players in each program's history, with a Sixth Man off the bench and a Head Coach, and compared the two. And we closed with rivalry and program history and trivia (30:30-Finish). We thank Tony for coming on the show, and wish his Hawks the best of luck the rest of the season, after December 8th when the 'Cats and the Hawks meet.

In this week's Villanova Basketball Report, with Bob Long, Kevin Long, and Kevin McClernand, we discuss the first few weeks of the season and the transition from the four early departures from last year to a young, inexperienced team searching for an identity. In the "Opening Tip" we discuss the Advocare Invitational Championship, the role of key players such as Phil Booth, Eric Paschall, Colin Gillespie, and Cole Swider, among others, and the struggles for Jahvon Quinerly this far. Next was the "V's and O's" segment where Bob demonstrated on the whiteboard why the development of Cole Swider and Joe Cremo as sharpshooters on the outside to space the floor is a key for this team's offensive style to succeed. We concluded the show with our weekly "Pick 'Em" segment, drawn up by Kevin McClernand.

In this week's Nittany Lion Sports Report, with Bob Long and Tyler Gehlhaus, we decided to take a more cathartic approach than normal - we got a lot off our chests about what we saw on Saturday in a Michigan blowout of Penn State. We discuss what went wrong, how much of this is a systemic issue vs. a one week issue, and what the team needs to focus on moving forward in order to succeed the rest of this season and build for next season.
