7-7: 2024-25 Tulsa Basketball Preview (ft. Eric Konkol)

Tulsa Head Men's Basketball Coach Eric Konkol joins the show to preview the 2024-25 Tulsa Basketball season! With football on a bye last week and TU being a 2-point underdog to 1-5 Temple (!) this week, we decided to kick football to the curb for a change and go all-in on basketball. Eric Konkol joins us to break down the 2024-25 season including his recent contract extension, building off a team that lost its two leading scorers, schematic changes, NIL strategies, scheduling philosophies, Slappin' Glass, and a ton more. We had a blast talking with coach and hope you all get as much out of it as we did.
