    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.  Meanwhile, we discuss who is to blame for this subpar performance thus far for the Nits and how they can turn the corner.  Support the show Follow us on X and Instagram @ShotsGottaFall Like us on Facebook at Shots Gotta Fall: The Penn State Basketball Podcast Send us an e-mail Shotsgottafallpod@gmail.com Help support the show! https://www.buzzsprout.com/2043844/support Rate and review us and subscribe/follow Shots Gotta Fall wherever you download us every week!

    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 Facebook at Shots Gotta Fall: The Penn State Basketball Podcast Send us an e-mail Shotsgottafallpod@gmail.com Help support the show! https://www.buzzsprout.com/2043844/support Rate and review us and subscribe/follow Shots Gotta Fall wherever you download us every week!

    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.  We also spend some time talking about birthdays and the fun that is the early NET rankings.

    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.  Support the show Follow us on X and Instagram @ShotsGottaFall Like us on Facebook at Shots Gotta Fall: The Penn State Basketball Podcast Send us an e-mail Shotsgottafallpod@gmail.com Help support the show! https://www.buzzsprout.com/2043844/support Rate and review us and subscribe/follow Shots Gotta Fall wherever you download us every week!

    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.  Support the show Follow us on X and Instagram @ShotsGottaFall Like us on Facebook at Shots Gotta Fall: The Penn State Basketball Podcast Send us an e-mail Shotsgottafallpod@gmail.com Help support the show! https://www.buzzsprout.com/2043844/support Rate and review us and subscribe/follow Shots Gotta Fall wherever you download us every week!

    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.  Does the streak end this week or do Evan and Steve see a 6-0 future?

    Chasing Losses

    Penn State starts 2-0 for the 4th consecutive season and did so in 2 wildly different fashions. We're back to break down the good, bad, and the ugly from week one of the 2025-26 season.  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.  Support the show Follow us on X and Instagram @ShotsGottaFall Like us on Facebook at Shots Gotta Fall: The Penn State Basketball Podcast Send us an e-mail Shotsgottafallpod@gmail.com Help support the show! https://www.buzzsprout.com/2043844/support Rate and review us and subscribe/follow Shots Gotta Fall wherever you download us every week!
