  Fifty Points, No Three-Point Line: Roger Galo

  Aug 19, 20261h 13mS5

  Roger Galo ('79) is third on Juniata's all-time scoring list, dropped 50 in a game before the three-point line existed, and had the Seattle SuperSonics calling. Then he spent 17 years asking why nobody shoots better than they did 50 years ago. Physicists, anatomists, a boxing glove at LaSalle, and misaligned rims at St. Joe's. Now it's a book. Mix that in with Tom’s WVU adventure, Ty Kozak in Brazil and a team GPA over 3.0, and we got another episode of the best D3 basketball podcast in the country!

  In Memory of Coach Kevin Curley

  Jul 20, 202657 minS5

  A special re-release in memory of Coach Kevin Curley, who we lost this past summer to cancer. Kevin was a great college basketball coach and an even better man — the all-time winningest coach in McDaniel men's basketball history, older brother to our own Coach Greg Curley, and beloved by everyone who knew him. Originally released April 21, 2024, as our Season 3 kickoff, this episode brought the Curley brothers together on the mic for the first time. Tom, Biz, and Coach Greg welcome Kevin — head coach of the McDaniel Green Terror — for a conversation that's equal parts basketball and brotherly needling: the origin of the "Green Terror" mascot, the NIL and transfer-portal era, Caitlin Clark and the women's game, the legendary scrimmage locker-room story, and plenty of playing-days reminiscing. It's full of the humor, competitiveness, and warmth that defined him. Kev, this one's for you. The Juniata Men's basketball Show is hosted by Coach greg Curley, Tom Frank and Biz Besket and is produced by Merrick Studios in conjunction with Sixteen Eight Oh Three Media.
