GCU is 15-6 overall and 8-2 in WAC play, second in the WAC standings.

Abilene Christian started off WAC play with a pair of road wins. Then the wheels came off for five games including the first losses at the Teague Center in nearly two years.  But, the Wildcats have now reeled off five straight wins including an 83-66 win over UTRGV on Saturday. What has been the key to success? Why the struggle through the first half of the conference season? And can ACU make a ru...

Seattle had a rough weekend in its bid to win the regular season crown. And the WAC just keeps getting better and better.

Lumberjacks came into this game off a loss to Seattle and they were looking for a comeback. THEY GOT IT. An absolute dog fight in that 2nd half ended up with us winning 81-77.

Jacks traveled to Seattle U, our furthest opponent of the season so far and one of our new WAC compadres. It was a totally winnable game but our theme of the season is just to shoot ourselves in the foot with easily winnable games.

Sam Houston associate head coach Chris Mudge stopped by the podcast to talk about the Bearkats. At 8-1 in WAC play and 13-9 overall, the Bearkats have come alive in WAC play. Sam Houston beat California Baptist on Wednesday and now head to the Pacific Northwest for a battle for first place. Mudge talks about the team and how the players have bought into winning. Along with this, Mudge discusses ro...

Imagine shooting 54 percent from the field. That should equate to a win in the minds of many. And imagine committing just eight turnovers in the game, as well. It should have been an easy win. Well, unfortunately for Chicago State, despite shooting 54 percent from the field and only committing eight turnovers on Thursday night, their opponent shot a little better. Utah Valley shot 69 percent from...

For the California Baptist Lancers, every game in conference play has been close. This is true in both victory and defeat. A buzzer-beater at Chicago State. Giving up an 11-0 run to lose by three at home to Dixie State. A two-point win over Utah Valley. And it just goes on and on.  On Wednesday, it was Savion Flagg and Sam Houston that beat CBU in another close game. Braiden Bell stops by to talk...

On this episode, Seattle play-by-play voice Russell Brown chimes in on the win over SFA on Wednesday. The Redhawks are off to their best start in almost 40 years. At 16-4 overall and 7-0 in WAC play, the Redhawks are the lone unbeaten in conference play.  The big three have carried this team. But, the Redhawks are getting contributions all around recently. The win over SFA sets up a huge showdown...

Conference games continue to get better and better. But, let's reference to WAC Wednesday as WACky Wednesday. UTRGV had four players foul out and had to run and get a uniform so a walk-on could get on the floor so the Vaqueros could finish the game with five players. What is even more impressive is UTRGV actually had a chance to beat Abilene Christian.  Lamar had more players in street clothes on...

The conference season continues to roll along. And on Wednesday night, we have four more games ready to tip off. Two of the games feature teams playing in specific arenas for the first time ever. Two other games feature the Texas two-step.  Two of the games have big implications on the line. Seattle is looking to stay unbeaten when it hosts SFA at Climate Pledge Arena. Sam Houston is looking to st...

The Minister of Culture, Shawn Clynch, joins us tonight on PMA. We discuss the weekend of fun-filled events and break down the game.

It's that week again. The week that prior to last Thursday, everyone was hoping was going to be the biggest game in the Western Athletic Conference in a long time. But, it's the wild, wild WAC and things change. Both New Mexico State and Grand Canyon got beat up pretty bad on Thursday. The Aggies and Lopes both lost by 25 points at Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin. And for good measure, Grand Can...

It is a busy Saturday of #WAChoops. Kyle and Derryl preview each game on both the men's and women's side of things. Russell Brown opens up the episode talking about Seattle U and trying to stay perfect in WAC play.  Only one game has been postponed from today's slate which hopefully is a good sign. SFA and New Mexico State have rescheduled their women's game for February 14 in Las Cruces. But, oth...

Sam Houston was 5-1 in WAC play coming into Thursday night. After opening its game against New Mexico State on a 10-0 run, the Bearkats never looked back. Savion Flagg had another big night in just 24 minutes of floor time. And the rest of the Bearkats did their part to push Sam Houston to 6-1 in league play. Play-by-play voice Rob Hipp got on the podcast to talk about the big win, his takeaways f...

Perhaps it was the physicality. Or maybe one team overlooked the other. Whatever it was, Stephen F. Austin made a statement with a 71-46 win over Grand Canyon on Thursday night at Johnson Coliseum. Jovan Blacksher Jr. kept GCU in the game in the first half with 18 points. In fact, SFA led just 32-31 at the break. And then slowly, and painfully for GCU, the wheels started to come off in the second...

Tried to do this as a live podcast episode. Going to do it more often so you will have to sign up and follow on the Podbean App. But what a wild night of WAC Hoops as both NM State and GCU lose by the same exact score and in arenas named Johnson Coliseum.  UVU, CBU and Dixie State all got wins on the night. And Seattle's big 3 led them to another win to improve to 5-0 in WAC play. The Redhawks are...

Here is a short episode previewing UTRGV at Utah Valley on Thursday night at the UCCU Center. Wolverines has lost two straight while the Vaqueros are coming off their first conference win a week ago. Can the Vaqueros fast pace throw off the Wolverines?
