The NBN Pod No Bid Nation

After an unplanned hiatus, Brendan and John are back for another NBN Pod. As we've just entered the new year, we first recap the month of December and where each team is. Then, we discuss expectations for CAA play. If the men end up with 8 or 9 conference wins, how much of a step up would that represent? On the women's side, what's the outlook, and how crucial will next year be for Coach E?

We're a few games into the W&M basketball season, where we can begin to draw some conclusions about each team. With that, Brendan and John give their initial shoutouts and step-ups as a way to discuss the early returns. Listen for John's praise of Anders Nelson and Madison Magee, as well as a long rant from Brendan regarding the men's team's defensive struggles.

Brendan and John come to you right after the W&M men's basketball matchup with Mid-Atlantic Christian, Brendan on-site and John remotely. The hosts discuss what they've learned over the first couple of games this season, and what they still need more evidence to decide.

With tipoff less than a week away, we have a great podcast for you as the head coaches of both William & Mary men's and women's basketball join us! First, hosts Brendan Doyle and John Kearns discuss what we're looking for in Monday's season-opening doubleheader, with the women playing at 5pm and the men following them at 7:30pm. Then, we kick it to Coach Erin Dickerson Davis. Coach E and the NBN crew discuss the transition into the new job, her enthusiasm for her staff, and her returning stars. After Coach E, we go to Coach Dane Fischer to ask about the Tribe's new faces, building a roster, and why this team reminds Coach Fischer of how he constructed his first team at W&M.

John Kearns is out this week, but Brendan is joined by frequent guest and friend of the program Tommy Glasgow, of the Holy City Hoops podcast and blog focusing on College of Charleston basketball. Brendan and Tommy give their thoughts on the new additions to the CAA and the league's positioning before running through this year's recently released men's preseason poll. We preview each team by providing a bold prediction and focusing on some big questions - who's the best incoming team, what gives with all the roster turnover this season, and should Towson actually be the consensus favorite in the league? Then, we briefly touch on the women's preseason poll, Charleston's rapid rise in the league, and W&M's two preseason All-CAA First Team selections. Lastly, Tommy and Brendan each give their "One Thing" for the week before signing off this episode of The NBN Pod.

We're back for our third year blogging and podcasting about W&M basketball, and we're incredibly excited you're joining us on the journey. Brendan and John start the third season of No Bid Nation with a couple quick housekeeping notes before getting into the basketball talk. What are our biggest overarching storylines of the 2022-23 season for both the men's team and women's team? How do we feel about Dane Fischer in his fourth year as head men's coach? What do we expect from Riley Casey and Sydney Wagner with another season under their belts playing together? Then, Brendan puts John through a quick quiz to make sure we're caught up on the five transfers to the men's team.
