With the season in the rearview, the real work begins. In Episode 94, Coach Curley pulls back the curtain on how Juniata Basketball is built in the offseason—from recruiting strategy and roster construction to player development and culture-setting. The guys dive into what actually leads to wins, how roles take shape, and why the offseason is where championship teams are made. Plus, a look at the transfer portal, evolving college basketball dynamics, and a few ideas for a certain Juniata cruise that may or may not happen.

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.

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.
