Episode Notes

The ball has been kicked and served in several different ways as the 2025-26 athletic campaign is officially underway at Valparaiso University.

Valparaiso men’s basketball assistant coach Matt Gordon later joins the pod to breakdown the 2025-26 nonconference slate after the schedule was released on Wednesday afternoon.
