Karic Jones fills in for Matt as the non-conference part of the schedule comes to an end. And Detroit Mercy, finally off of its APR ban, is still in turmoil. Plus, Wright State and Northern Kentucky appear to own the top of the standings. But will the Norse's recent injuries be a factor?

Matt and Kyle Craven, who's filling in for Bob, talk about a pretty busy week in the Horizon League, personnel-wise. That includes the denial of Rashad Williams' transfer waiver, the exit of Wright State's Skyelar Potter and the pending returns of Loudon Love and Jordan Blount, along with Tank Hemphill shutting it down for the season. They also talk about yet another dismal week for the Horizon League, aside from the good showing by Northern Kentucky.

The Horizon League has itself another bad day on Saturday, and Karic Jones joins Bob and Matt to talk about Detroit Mercy's struggles in particular. They also walk though IUPUI getting absolutely destroyed by Ball State and yet further proof that the conference has a long way to go to make progress.

Bob and Matt welcome prolific horizoneroundtable.com writer John Parker to the podcast to discuss IUPUI's upset over South Florida and the possibility of reassessing the Jags' prospects in the Horizon League. John also talks about his visit to The Pit, where he saw Green Bay take on New Mexico. And of course, there is this discussion about some of the missing starters around the conference to start the season.

Bob and Matt welcome members of the student media from across the Horizon League to talk about the run-up to the upcoming season. Included in this discussion are off-season changes, a recap of exhibition games and the first week of the regular season.
