Always Kick It: Alex Mullin Joins the Offseason Kickoff
The Juniata offseason is officially here, but the Juniata Men’s Basketball Show is not slowing down. Tom, Biz, and Coach Curley welcome senior manager and four-year football placekicker Alex Mullin to the show for a behind-the-scenes conversation about what really keeps a college program moving. Alex shares how he found Juniata, balanced football and basketball for four full years, and became an indispensable part of the men’s basketball staff. From postgame meal emergencies and practice prep to minute tracking, replay help, and life on the road, this episode shines a light on the work that rarely gets seen but matters every single day. The guys also talk about the impact the podcast has had on Juniata basketball culture, what this team is capable of next season, the Landmark Conference chaos that sent Susquehanna dancing, and why the future feels very bright in Huntingdon. Plus: big kicks, bigger stories, and one final reminder from Coach Curley — when in doubt, kick it.

Start With a Win, End With a Win
The 2025–26 season is officially in the books… but not before the Eagles close it out the right way: two home wins, a 10-win finish, and a little chaos (the fun kind). Tom, Biz, and Coach Curley break down a 79–60 win over Lycoming sparked by a defensive flip-the-switch moment (plus big bench minutes), then cap the year with an 85–78 season finale vs. Moravian where Juniata shoots nearly 57% and delivers a very real “playoff game” vibe — including knocking Moravian out of the postseason picture. Along the way: Coach talks about the first emotion when the clock hits 0:00 (spoiler: relief), Biz tries to define “emotion” in Biz terms, Tom admits he got Flow Sports’d mid-game, and the fellas set a completely reasonable goal for next year: borrow the pep band’s drum for a day (Coach does not endorse this message). Plus: game balls, key performances, and what’s next for the program — exit meetings, development plans, recruiting, and turning this year’s progress into the next step up.

Find the Edge: The Last 80 Minutes
With the season winding down and just two home games left, Tom Frank, Biz, and Head Coach Greg Curley get real about where the Eagles are — and what still matters when the postseason isn’t on the table. The crew tackles a listener question from Missy T.: with 80 minutes left in the year, do you experiment for next season… or stay locked in on winning? Coach Curley doesn’t mince words: games are games, and the priority is still prepare, compete, execute — and learn how to win. The conversation turns to consistency, accountability, and why improvement can get “ugly” before it gets better. They recap a tough road week at Elizabethtown (80–70) and Goucher (66–59), break down the recurring theme of early deficits, and talk through what has to sharpen up fast — execution, discipline, and decision-making. Plus: Game balls, some classic studio chaos, a Hall of Fame speech draft (naturally featuring Drew Brees), and Biz drops another motivational gem… that immediately requires a full bridge-and-river explanation. Next up: Lycoming and Moravian at home — and the chase for 10 wins to put an exclamation point on the season. Follow the show on Instagram @juniatabasketballshow and subscribe wherever you listen.

Alumni Weekend Live from The Nest
We’re live from The Nest (yes… it’s officially called that now 👀) for Alumni Weekend at Juniata—starting with our Wilkes pregame show, a parade of alumni guests, and the long-awaited recap of the 2026 Ed Mansberger Alumni Game. Team Blue and Team Gold went to war in a defensive slugfest that somehow still felt like a track meet emotionally. We break down the chirping, the “fraternizing” scandal in the Catholic student section, and the moment the score finally becomes official. Plus, alumni guests stop by with life updates (new jobs, new towns, weddings, babies, firefighting, nursing, coaching, PA school), predictions for the stretch run, and a whole lot of love for what this program has become. Notes: We had a couple audio hiccups in the postgame segment, so we patched in reflections to wrap the weekend. The in-game audio from the alumni game is (allegedly) missing. We’re not naming names… but we’re also not not naming names.

Meaningful Games & Alumni Weekend Energy
It’s a big one for Juniata hoops: Catholic on Wednesday, Alumni Weekend vs. Wilkes on Saturday, and zero room for coasting. The crew opens with a great listener question on what alumni should feel when they come back—Coach Curley’s answer says it all: play hard, play with heart, play for each other. From there, it’s a look back at last week’s results, highlighted by a 62–43 defensive rock fight win over Susquehanna and a tough road loss at Scranton that sharpens the focus heading into a brutal stretch. Biz hands out the game balls, the playoff picture comes into view, and Coach Nick Hager joins to preview Alumni Weekend—full schedule, postgame plans, and the always-heated Team Blue vs. Team Gold alumni game, complete with the drafting of new faces that adds fresh fuel to an already loud rivalry. Meaningful games, familiar faces, new blood, and a program that still looks and feels like Juniata basketball.

Preparation Over Momentum
The Eagles are heating up at the right time—and the guys can barely believe what they’re saying out loud: two big wins, a road win streak, and four wins in the last five as Juniata improves to 7–10 overall and 4–6 in the Landmark. Before the hoops breakdown, the show takes a wildly entertaining detour when a listener asks about a Netflix free-solo skyscraper climb in Taiwan. Tom admits he couldn’t sleep afterward, compares it to a doorless-helicopter shoot over Manhattan, and the crew debates risk-taking, anxiety, and whether any of this makes someone qualified to scale Founders Hall. Landmark Conference socks also make an appearance… as elite snow-shoveling gear. Back on the court, the guys break down a 66–49 win at Lycoming led by Jaden Bilger, followed by a statement 75–72 road win at Drew—one of the program’s biggest victories in recent years. Juniata handled pressure, dominated the paint early, and never flinched when Drew made its runs. Biz hands out game balls, celebrates full stat sheets, and continues his undefeated run as executive producer. Coach Curley lays out the mindset for the stretch run: preparation over momentum, discipline over motivation, as Juniata enters the gauntlet—Susquehanna at home (blue-out, pack the gym) and a tough road test at Scranton. Big games, real stakes, and a team starting to look like itself at exactly the right time. Wear blue. Pack the gym. Defend the house. And if you’re shoveling snow in Landmark socks… we want pics.

Mute Button Mayhem & Must-Win Mindset
It’s been a full-blown Juniata hoops roller coaster—complete with birthday banter, casino misfortune, winter travel chaos, and a broadcast that somehow forgot it had sound. Tom Frank, Biz, and head coach Greg Curley open the show celebrating Biz’s birthday before diving into a great listener mailbag question: If the Palestra were closed next season, and the show had full control, where should the Landmark Conference host a weekend showcase—any venue, anywhere? From there, it’s all basketball. The crew relives the electric Palestra win, breaks down a statement upset over Elizabethtown at the Nest, and unpacks a frustrating road loss at Moravian that featured delayed travel, strange rhythms, and Tom going full customer-service warrior on FloSports until the volume magically returned (discount secured, dignity intact). Coach Curley delivers a candid breakdown of what’s holding this team back—and what could unlock a real run down the stretch: edge, focus, and consistency. Game balls are handed out, Cooper Sharp cheese continues its undefeated season, and the guys preview two massive road games with the message crystal clear: stop getting in your own way, handle your business, and bring the edge—every night.

Palestra Week Preview with Landmark Commissioner Katie Boldvich
The Juniata Basketball Show welcomes “Landmark royalty” as Katie Boldvich, Landmark Conference Commissioner, hops on with Tom Frank, Biz, and Head Coach Greg Curley—just in time for the annual Palestra showcase. The crew kicks off 2026 with a deep listener question (thanks, Donny D), then breaks down a wild week of hoops: Juniata’s 119-point eruption (second-highest scoring game in program history), the Franciscan showdown featuring a casual 49-point heater from Sawyer Butler (tip of the cap… from a safe distance), and the OT gut-punch at Messiah. Katie also pulls back the curtain on Landmark expansion, what it takes to run a Palestra event day, and she even drops a fun stat: the Landmark single-game scoring record (122—Juniata was this close). Plus: volleyball dominance, playoff format talk, and why a giant podcast drum might be Coach Curley’s personal villain origin story. And yes—Palestra week is here: Juniata vs. Goucher at 5pm on Sunday, January 11th, and the guys will be live from New Deck Tavern starting at 1pm. Navy blue: the move.

A Juniata Christmas: Effort, Lessons & the Doc Green
It’s the official Christmas episode of the Juniata Men’s Basketball Show, and it delivers a little bit of everything. Tom, Biz, and Coach Curley bring the holiday vibes early before Biz steals the show with a now-legendary Juniata-themed Christmas poem. The conversation shifts to a listener questions about a 44-year-old NFL quarterback comeback, and whether Coach Curley could suit up one more time if Juniata ever needed him. The guys then break down a tough loss to Bethany, focusing on late-game execution, rebounding, free throws, and the hard lessons a young team must learn to finish games. Jaden Bilger earns Player of the Game honors, and “effort” becomes the word of the week. The episode wraps with a full preview of the Doc Green Tournament, including a scouting report on Central Penn, a look at potential matchups with Stevenson and Franciscan, and a reminder of what it will take for the Eagles to turn the corner in the second half of the season.

Then it’s back to Juniata hoops, where Tom, Biz, and Coach Curley unpack a demanding stretch against Catholic and Scranton. Coach breaks down the recurring second-half lapses, the defensive inconsistencies, and the bright spots emerging from young players stepping into bigger roles. The guys talk about the importance of the upcoming three-game home stand, the return they hope to see from Joe Bruce, and why these non-conference games matter for confidence and momentum.

Listener Graham B. kicks things off with a very on-brand Thanksgiving question that sends the guys down a cranberry-sauce-fueled rabbit hole, complete with culinary confessions, sandwich hacks, and Biz’s pitch for the first great Thanksgiving movie. Then it’s on to the hardwood: a heartbreaker at Susquehanna, a first-half battle with undefeated Drew, and a deep dive from Coach on toughness, pressure, leadership, and the fine art of winning the 50/50s. Joe Bruce racks up more game balls than a Black Friday shopper, the guys look ahead to Catholic and Scranton, and Coach shares meaningful reflections on two important members of the Juniata basketball family.

Offense Unlocked, Conference Unleashed
This week on The Juniata Men’s Basketball Show, Tom, Biz, and Coach Curley break down a rollercoaster week: a frustrating road night at Westminster followed by an offensive fireworks display against Alfred State where the Eagles piled up 97 points, shot 52% from deep, and had the bench mob partying like it was March. Coach talks about what clicked, what still needs tuning (hint: free throws), and why this group’s response in practice might be the best sign of all. Then it’s time to stare down the start of Landmark Conference play: Susquehanna and their rotating squad of 6'8" towers on Wednesday, followed by undefeated Drew, who scores like they’re auditioning for the ABA. Plus: game balls, stat-stuffing shoutouts, and why the next four games will tell us exactly who this young team is becoming. Conference play starts now. Let’s go 1–0.

In this season-opening episode, Tom Frank, Biz, and Head Coach Greg Curley break down the full 2024–25 schedule and lay out the storylines already taking shape. Coach Curley gives an inside look at preseason progress and why this young squad already feels ahead of last year’s curve.

A brutal early conference test vs Landmark heavyweights Susquehanna, Drew, Catholic, and Scranton—four title contenders in four games. The holiday slate featuring the always chaotic Doc Green Tournament and a showdown with former assistant Jacob Flegel at Messiah. January and February grind time, including a Palestra game vs Goucher and the official return of Alumni Weekend on February 7th vs Wilkes. The philosophy behind this schedule: embrace challenges early, build toughness, deserve victory.

Boots, Buckets and Becoming Dr. Brandon Martinazzi
This week, Tom, Biz, and Coach Curley welcome Dr. Brandon Martinazzi (’19) — 1,302-point scorer, top-15 in points/assists/steals/threes, and now an orthopaedic surgery resident at Rothman. Brandon takes us from Cresson to College to the OR: the Bishop Carroll days with Marcus Lee (including the almost-same-night 1,000-point milestone), first impressions of Coach Curley and the tough-love meeting that kept him from quitting the day before his first practice, and the senior season where he wore a walking boot all day, took it off to play, then put it back on — and still led the Eagles. We hit the greatest wins (Scranton on the road), the worst gyms (hello, Goucher), the Ottawa poutine tour disguised as a foreign trip, alumni-weekend lore, and why Juniata’s culture of accountability translates directly to the operating room. Brandon also dishes advice to this year’s squad — buy in from Day 1, treat every practice like it matters — and weighs in on NIL and what DIII looks like as the landscape tilts (yes, St. Francis comes up). It’s hoops IQ, med-school grit, and plenty of Eagles nostalgia — with a side of garbage-can fries. Subscribe, rate, and let us know who’s on your Mount Juniata five.

Injuries and Triumphs: The Story of Andrew Bithell
School’s out, but Tom, Biz, and Coach Curley refuse to coast into summer. Instead, they welcome 6-foot-7 bruiser-turned-firefighter Andrew “Bith” Bithell (’21) for a conversation that crackles hotter than a three-alarm blaze. Bith rewinds the tape on his roller-coaster college career—three shoulder surgeries, two concussions, and a nine-game senior season shortened by COVID—then fast-forwards to life in full turnout gear with the Altoona Fire Department, where he moonlights as a record-setting strongman (yes, he once cuddled a 415-lb atlas stone). Along the way, the crew trades stories about rehab-forged grit, weight-room epiphanies, and that Winston Churchill mantra Bith keeps taped to his locker: “Stay ready—your finest hour might start in 60 seconds.” A lightning round reveals his Dr Pepper–powered post-lift diet, the most underrated Eagle of his era, and whether he’d rather squat 800 lbs or drain a Landmark title buzzer-beater (spoiler: team first, always). Equal parts locker-room banter and life-advice clinic, this episode is a master class in turning setbacks into strength—on the court, in the gym, and under the flashing lights of a fire engine.

Ready to Shake Things Up?
We’re diving into some hot debates and cool strategies this week! Coach Greg Curley shares his take on sportsmanship—should teams always play to the buzzer, or is there a point where respect for your opponent comes first? And what about Penn State? Should their focus be on the Big Ten Championship or locking in a home game? We’ve got opinions, and we’re not holding back. Coming off a tough loss against Mercy, it’s time for some soul-searching. The game wasn’t our best, but Sho Watson showed serious potential, and we’re looking at the lessons to be learned about preparation, mindset, and teamwork. Resilience is the name of the game, and we’re not backing down. To shake things up, Tom throws some out-of-the-box strategies against the wall—a silent practice, a 24-hour gym session, and a unique (non-basketball!) motivator to get the team recharged and connected. As we gear up for two big home games against Elizabethtown and Wilkes, the excitement is real. And of course, we couldn’t resist a little sports banter and bold predictions. Can the team rise to the challenge? Tune in to find out! 🎧 Subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you catch your podcasts! Got a burning question for the guys?
