What really goes on inside a college basketball program? The Juniata Men’s Basketball Show gives you an all-access pass. Hosted by lifelong friends Tom Frank, Drew “Biz” Besket, and Head Coach Greg Curley—a 23-year veteran with 300+ wins—the show pulls back the curtain on Juniata Men’s Basketball like never before. From locker-room leadership and player development to recruiting, alumni stories, and the day-to-day challenges of running a Division III program, nothing is off-limits. You’ll hear directly from players, parents, alumni, and a coach who’s seen it all—wins, losses, and the lessons that come with both. It’s honest, insightful, and a whole lot of fun. Whether you’re part of #EaglesNation or just love the game, this is college basketball beyond the box score.

  • Always Kick It: Alex Mullin Joins the Offseason Kickoff
    Mar 20 2026

    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
    Feb 27 2026

    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
    Feb 19 2026

    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.
