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.

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.

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.

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? Listen and find out!

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.
