    RPI Athletics Podcast Episode 8 Basketball: Celia Tomlinson, Sam Krumbhaar, Kevin Davis, and Mitch Wayand

    With the recent passing of Kobe Bryant and the success of the basketball programs here at RPI this season I thought it would be a good time to bring on some seniors from both the women's and men's teams. As per usual we talk about each players origins to their sport as well as how and why they chose RPI. We also dig into the heated debate of why basketball players are considered to be the most athletic people on the planet. Sam opens up on why she took a break from basketball after her junior season, playing ball at Brooklyn Park, and why she fell back in love with the sport and her team. Kevin and Mitch explain how this years team is having historic success despite a lack of offensive talent and what it's going to take to get recognized nationally. We of course do some trivia and then say goodbye
