Juniata Men's Basketball Show
What really goes on inside a college basketball program?
The Juniata Men’s Basketball Show gives you an all-access pass. Hosted by lifelong friends Tom Frank, Drew “Biz” Besket, and Head Coach Greg Curley—a 23-year veteran with 300+ wins—the show pulls back the curtain on Juniata Men’s Basketball like never before.
From locker-room leadership and player development to recruiting, alumni stories, and the day-to-day challenges of running a Division III program, nothing is off-limits. You’ll hear directly from players, parents, alumni, and a coach who’s seen it all—wins, losses, and the lessons that come with both.
It’s honest, insightful, and a whole lot of fun. Whether you’re part of #EaglesNation or just love the game, this is college basketball beyond the box score.
Follow @JuniataBasketballShow on Instagram, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen, and join the conversation.
Produced by Merrick Studios — where culture takes the mic.
