Juniata Men's Basketball Show

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. Follow @JuniataBasketballShow on Instagram, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen, and join the conversation. Produced by Merrick Studios — where culture takes the mic.

Sometimes it’s what you learn from a game that can be just as important as winning the game. We fell a bit short against Wilkes in the Landmark Conference Championship Tournament but as Coach Curley tells Tom and Biz, “Sometimes you just play good games against good team. I could not have asked for anything more from our group of guys, in terms of effort and cohesion.” But all was not lost, Tom, Biz and some avid listeners of the show hit their 1,000 squats, Chase and Evan achieve Landmark Conference honors and our Eagles will host an ECAC Post Season game with a chance to finish the season as champions.It’s the Juniata Men's Basketball Show as produced and distributed by Merrick Creative in conjunction with @juniataeagles and sponsored by @JostensInc @Eat.4.Free.

Well, it wasn’t exactly the best stretch in Juniata-land this past week. However, to help us get over two tough losses, Tom walks us through his 7-step therapy plan which begins with reflecting and accepting the losses. But no fear, by the end we had parked the negativity, visualized success and were setting our short-term goals. Tune in as we look ahead to the last week of the regular season, including a big road match up with Susquehanna, a celebration of our seniors on Saturday vs Moravian, and a motivational speech by Biz where he drives is all to grab Bull by the cojones!It’s the Juniata Men's Basketball Show as brought to you by Merrick Creative in conjunction with @juniataeagles, sponsored by @JostensInc @Eat.4.Free, and hosted by Tom Frank, Drew Besket and Juniata Men's Basketball Head Coach, Greg Curley.
