Rutgers and Seton Hall reprise their annual rivalry this Saturday in Piscataway, so the podcast resurrects what has become an annual tradition around these parts as we reminisce about Bambi on Ice, runaway redwoods and coaches talking to themselves chasing parked cars in the parking lot.

Join host Jaden Daly as he welcomes Jerry Carino of the Asbury Park Press back to preview the clash between the Scarlet Knights and Pirates, taking a look at what both teams have done to date this season, what to expect this weekend, and how much this game may mean to each side.

The Daly Dose Of Hoops Podcast continues its look back at the life, career and legacy of beloved St. John’s legend Lou Carnesecca, who died on November 30, 2024 at 99 years of age. In the second half of the podcast’s two-part tribute, host Jaden Daly welcomes someone who was blessed to know Looie for almost 60 years, his former assistant and eventual successor as head coach of the Johnnies, Brian Mahoney. Brian looks back on his time attending Lou’s basketball camps, playing for him in the ABA as a New York Net, his two stints as an assistant coach under Lou, and his four years at the helm, and recounts classic stories that underscore just how revered and respected Lou was.

It’s the first week of December, which means Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference play is about to tip off its opening weekend. Host Jaden Daly hasn’t covered as much MAAC basketball as he normally has to this point in the young season, but he knows someone who has. And who better to get you amped up for MAAC play than the king of the MAAC, Sam Federman?

Sam, best known for his work at Mid-Major Madness and Brackets, Bubbles & Bid Stealers, along with his occasional contributions to our site as well, joins Jaden to recap every MAAC team’s performance to date through the first month of the year, sharing his insights on what has gone right and wrong for each team before setting the table for opening weekend and offering a candid answer to the top storyline in the league this season, wanting to find out who the best teams will be en route to Atlantic City in March.

The college basketball world, especially in and around New York, lost one of its patron saints this past Saturday when Lou Carnesecca, the architect of the St. John’s program and its rise to national prominence, passed away at 99. Over the next few days and weeks, you’ll see many glowing tributes to Looie and his long, prosperous life, and deservedly so.

In the first of a two-part retrospective, host Jaden Daly pays homage to the patron saint of the Johnnies alongside legendary college basketball writer Dick “Hoops” Weiss, who covered Lou’s tenure in Queens from two perspectives, as an outsider with the Philadelphia Daily News and later as a columnist in the Big Apple for the New York Daily News. Join Jaden and Hoops as they look back on Looie’s life, times, and inimitable machinations as he carved out his own niche in a pro sports town, holding court alongside the Knicks, Yankees, Giants and Mets as only he could in that era.

Part two of the tribute, with former St. John’s head coach Brian Mahoney, Lou’s longtime assistant coach and right-hand man before succeeding him in 1992, will be released next week.

Seton Hall tips off its weekend in the Charleston Classic Thursday against VCU, and just as he did in his most recent episode with St. John’s, host Jaden Daly brings in two Seton Hall podcast co-hosts to take the temperature of the Pirates going into their most pivotal stretch of the young season. Join Jaden, along with Tim Best and Patrick Madden of Hoist the Colors, as the three go over who has impressed, what has caused concern, and what Shaheen Holloway’s team needs to do to right the proverbial ship before Big East play begins next month.

With everything going on in college basketball, is easy to miss what occurs 15 minutes from your home base. Host Jaden Daly takes care of that in this episode by going over St. John’s 4-0 start with Patrick Kane and Cole Latshaw of the Red Storm Rapid Reaction Podcast. Join Jaden, Pat and Cole for a de facto state of the Johnnies address, as the three go over the first four games, what lies ahead in the Baha Mar Hoops Championship, and the outlook going into Big East play.

The Daly Dose of Hoops Podcast returns with a second episode before opening night, and welcomes its first sitting athletic director to the show, as newly-minted St. John’s AD Ed Kull joins host Jaden Daly for a comprehensive sit-down interview. Ed outlines the factors that compelled him to return to St. John’s for his third stint in the Red Storm administration, the opportunities to resurrect and modernize a longtime regional power, his immediate and long-term visions for St. John’s athletics, his background both in and out of the industry, and how he hopes to ultimately be remembered as a leader and executive. He also gives an update on the impending new basketball practice facility at St. John’s, and reflects on his journey and career to date with advice he would give both his past and future selves.

The Daly Dose Of Hoops podcast starts its fifth season this year, and who better to kick off an exciting year of college basketball than its first-ever guest back in 2021?

Join host Jaden Daly as he welcomes John Fanta back to preview the Big East as only he can. John, known for his work with Fox Sports and The Field Of 68, joins Jaden yet again to cover each team and storyline in the Big East from top to bottom, starting with UConn’s quest to win a third straight national championship before shifting gears to a resurgent St. John’s, a new-look Seton Hall, traditional conference heavyweights Marquette, Creighton and Xavier, and much more.
