| 1/12/26 | Confirmation Bias? | Penn State's winless start to the big ten slate continued this week...and yet, they seem to be exceeding expectations? Or are they? Does it feel that way? We talk about how it feels to experience the 0-5 start we all generally thought would happen in the first place. We test the theory that not all 0-5's are created equal. We also preview this week's matchup and ask the question: will it end? Will Penn State finally get a win? Support the show Follow us on X and Instagram @ShotsGottaFal... | 1h 07m 22s | ||||||
| 1/5/26 | Locked in Offensively | Well it was a 1-1 week in which Penn State seemed to play about 2 halves of decent basketball and 2 halves of indefensible ball. We break down the good, the bad, and the ugly of the week that was. We also take a step back and evaluate how these players are meeting expectations in the early going.

| 12/22/25 | Atrocious | Penn State got punched in the mouth against Pitt in Hershey on Sunday and it wasn't pretty, We talk about it and preview the end of the non-conference schedule against NC Central and the resumption of conference play against the Illini in the Palestra.

| 12/15/25 | Give and Take | Not all 0-2 weeks are created equal. While there were some positives this week, there was also a lot of bad (particularly in Bloomington). We talk about it and get a bit more in depth as to what's ailing this Penn State team and how they can right the ship. We then preview an interstate matchup against the Pitt Panthers next weekend. Can Penn State get their first non Quad-4 win of the young season? Support the show Follow us on X and Instagram @ShotsGottaFall Like us on Fa... | 56m 36s | ||||||
| 12/8/25 | Need One | Steve's feeling a little under the weather so Matt Shaffer joins the group to help out as we recap the light week of work that was for PSU against Campbell and preview the daunting start to conference play this week.

| 12/1/25 | Give Myself Flowers | Not all 2-0 weeks are created equal and we elaborate on that this week as Penn State struggled against a pesky Boston team before running up the score against Sacred Heart over the weekend. Only one game to preview this week so we take some time after the recap to talk about the first NET rankings of the year and what they mean (if anything) for PSU in the early goings of the season.

| 11/25/25 | Right Back Where We Started From | One of the longest winning streaks in the country came to an end on Saturday with Penn State's lost to Providence. However, many of the same issues that have plagued the Nits since the start of the season came back to rear their ugly head earlier in the week in a close win against Harvard. We break it all down and preview what hopefully will be a get right week against two subpar opponents at home.

| 11/17/25 | Winning Streak | The Nittany Lions now hold the nation's second longest winning streak after another 2-0 week! We recap an almost too close for comfort game on Veterans Day against Navy followed by another road rout in Philly for our matchup against La Salle. The heat gets turned back up again this week at home against Harvard (which Steve predicted preseason would end as a loss) and in Connecticut for the first matchup against a Top 100 opponent of this still young season.

| 11/10/25 | Chasing Losses | Penn State starts 2-0 for the 4th consecutive season and did so in 2 wildly different fashions.

After that, we preview what is expected to be the first 2 moderate tests of the young season with a Veterans Day matchup against Navy looming before the Nits hit the road again for a matchup in Philly against La Salle.
