What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I really enjoy the pregame and the postgame analysis every episode. Good insights, predictions, and rundown of both teams they’re discussing.

Ruzzjon · Jan 2026

As a lifelong MSU fan born & raised in the Hoosier State, this is my go-to podcast for Sparty hoops. I appreciate Eric's organization & commentary, as well as Rod's in-depth & insightful analysis. As a former college hooper myself, it's clear that he's a student of the game, which makes it a lot more enjoyable to listen to, as opposed to so many other uninformed talking heads out there. Keep up the great work guys!

Hoosier-Josh · Oct 2025

This is a fantastic show that gives amazing insight into other teams and statistics along with not ever being unrealistically optimistic or too negative about msu. Keep up the amazing work Eric and Rod! Go Green

SpartanBBallFan · Feb 2025

Can’t believe this podcast doesn’t charge a subscription. Where else can you get detailed pre-game and post-game analysis that goes to this depth? In a world of hype, blowhards and lazy takes, someone has to keep it real. These guys never let me down.
