Straight Shooters
If you like college basketball and you like the truth, then this is the podcast for you. Each episode you’ll find Tyler Kaplan, Mike Erickson, Matt Stern, and Zach Reynolds discuss the week prior: recapping games, bad beats, bad coaching as well as looking ahead to March Madness. If we find something interesting, we’ll always share, and we hope that at the end of each episode you learned something new, or disagreed with at least one thing we said... or both.
