This week Will Saulsbery and H.T. Sims are joined by Tyler Tachman of the Des Moines Register (1:29) to preview the Iowa Men’s Basketball season. How will new coach Ben McCollum handle moving from Drake to the Big 10? How do fans get engaged with a team that only has one returning player from last year’s squad? Then Will and H.T. get into news from around the area (19:35) talking SLU, MIZZOU and ILLINI basketball. They touch on Bradley Beal’s injury, Jordan Goodwin’s tremendous start in Phoenix, and Jordan Clarkson still getting it done, now with the Knicks. They squeeze in some Big 3 talk and take it home rallying the hoops fans of STL.
