The Grinch of Thanksgiving?

Juniata Men's Basketball Show

In this week’s episode of The Juniata Men's Basketball Show, Tom, Biz, and Coach Curley dive into Thanksgiving week. The trio kicks off by sharing their love (and occasional gripes) about Thanksgiving traditions, from turkey and stuffing to acceptable napping.

On the basketball front, the team reflects on two hard-fought losses: a nail-biting overtime thriller against Lycoming and a defensive grind against Scranton. Coach Curley provides insight into the team’s growing pains, emphasizing the progress made by a young roster learning to compete at the college level. The discussion highlights the team's resilience, defensive strides, and the importance of focusing on process over results.

Looking ahead, the Eagles face a formidable test against the undefeated Gwynedd Mercy Griffins. With key players sidelined and the team adjusting to new roles, the challenge is steep—but the optimism is strong. The crew also fields a listener question about the changing landscape of college athletics, touching on NIL deals and the future of college sports.

Tune in for a mix of candid coaching insights, Thanksgiving banter, and a deep dive into the evolving season for the Juniata Eagles.
