How To Say "KYUSAG", ft. John Kearns

December 11, 2020 • No Bid Nation

Covid continues to wreak havoc on the basketball season, but at least we can make it entertaining! Cameron and Brendan welcome the third member of the NBN crew, John Kearns, onto the pod again. We jump right into W&M women's basketball's season-opening losses to ODU and Richmond, analyzing the team's offensive struggles (0:00). We then talk about the men's team returning from quarantine early (11:28) and its hastily rescheduled contest against Virginia, which was cancelled after recording. Speaking of Virginia, we explore W&M's "little brother complex" when it comes to U.Va., in sports but also overall in the student body. Finally, we explore John's "KYUSAG" model and how it works (35:08) before looking at how the model sees the CAA early in the season (41:50). Hint: Charleston fans might be pleased.
