New season, new conversation starters. In this episode of the Last Night’s Game Podcast, Amy and Scott make college hoops approachable so you can chime in confidently at the office, on Slack, or over school drop-off.
What we cover (fast, fun, and useful):
College vs. NBA, simplified: Why men’s college hoops uses two 20-minute halves and how that changes game flow.
Conference realignment reality: Cross-country travel, time zones, and why win rates dip when teams hop coasts.
NIL era, explained: How dollars drive today’s recruiting and what that means for rosters.
Prop-bet bans: The push to protect college athletes from harassment and conflicts of interest.
G-League → campus: Why some pros-in-waiting are choosing (or returning to) college.
Women’s watchlist: Rising stars and a crucial WNBA storyline shaping the season ahead.
Sports Curious, presented by Last Night's Game, is here to take the awkwardness out of the conversation and help you join the sports conversation, even if you don't know the first thing about sports. We break down what's happening in sports in an easy-to-understand, fun way without all of the statistics and jargon, so you never have to exit stage left when the chatter at the office, dinner table or networking event switches to sports.
