Nate, Bill and Dan wrap up the season finales for the Drexel men and women, and turn the page to 22-23.  A discussion of the Portal, Cam Wynter and Xavier Bell, and why it is easier to figure out who is a Dragon right now than who isn't.  A Spiker outlook comes in and all in all... This offseason is going to be nuts.  Strap in.

Nate and Dan give their thoughts ahead of the CAA Women's Basketball Championship that will be hosted in the DAC this weekend.  Led by Hannah and Keishana, the defending champion Dragons walk in with six seniors and a number one seed as they set out to go back to back. The guys also talk about the all tourney teams, and drop some hints around the men's programs offseason.   It's tourney time at the DAC!  

Nate, Dan and Eric talk about end of season awards and the tourney to be.  Does it get better than a first round rivalry game with the conferences big dog on deck for round two?   The guys preview the entire bracket and pick a winner next - actually each guy picked a different winner. They then pivot over to talk about the Drexel Women's Basketball team that clinched the regular season title on Thursday night and looks to complete an undefeated season on the road today.  Undefeated in true road games but lost to teams at home?  Yeah, that comes up as well. One thing is for sure this weekend.  It's a great day to be a Dragon!

Nate breaks down the 2-1 Drexel weekend, Dan and Eric talk about some of the best senior classes this school has ever seen and then Eric baits Dan into talking about attendance at the DAC.  Apologies for our first explicit lyrics but as Nate said, sometimes it is deserved. Then we start looking onto March Madness which starts this weekend!  More to come this week, stay tuned!

Nate, Dan and Eric are joined by Bill Martin to breakdown the week in Drexel hoops.  They add some thoughts on Robert Battle and later a certain Dr. Z's name comes up.  With the tournament around the corner tag along and see how the teams are shaping up (hint: it's very well)

Nate and Dan are joined by Bill Martin this week, and get a chance to speak with Drexel great Robert Battle.  Robert takes us through the winding road that took him to Drexel, as well as highlights of his playing career under two different coaches in two different conferences.   The guys also spend some time speaking to Robert about the current years edition of the Dragons, and what Amari Williams' ceiling might be - and why.  And everyone agrees with what the University of Delaware now knows - Keishana Washington is trouble if you're in an opposing jersey. Thanks to Robert for joining the Pod, and we look forward to having him back again in the near future to fill us in about his pro career!

Nate, Dan and Eric talk about, well, just about everything: Drexel men go 2-2 over the past eight days The ladies recover and roll through a road trip with an easy 2-0, going into their BIGGEST GAME OF THE SEASON There's good Japanese food in Newark, De?? Jill Axel and the Drexel front office does right by Nate (and others!) A whole section on just what Villanova has in Denise Dillion, and she also does right by Nate (and his kids!) Eric Zillmer gets a shout out! Dan riffs on the difference between IUC and JMU (hint, its money) It's everything that you want to hear and so much more.  Welcomeeeeeeee, to the big show!

Nate, Dan and Eric discuss the week that was for the Dragons, including a big road win for Coach Spiker's team and a historic streak snapped (maybe a good thing?) for the Drexel women.  At the half hour mark Nate takes it off the court for his first rant of the year.  Then, at @39:34 the gang is joined by Long Island based sportswriter and Hofstra alum, Jerry Beach, who talks Hofstra, Stony Brook and who he thinks the top dogs in the CAA are as the season hits the stretch run.

Brian Mull joins the crew to walk through the CAA as we hit the season's halftime.  Additionally, he discusses realignment with a focus on the southern end of the conference, and the strengths and areas of opportunity for the league as major changes begin.  Then, Nate, Dan and Eric pivot to yet another 3-1 weekend for Drexel basketball, featuring a number of highs, and a really tough low.

It was homecoming weekend on campus and it began in dominating fashion for the men and women's team both. And that stopped abruptly.  Nate, Dan and Eric go over the week that was, and what it means for a VERY important week to come for both squads. Next week:  Sportswriter and guy we really like Brian Mull joins us to go around the CAA as we hit the halfway point in conference play
