Radford Highlanders basketball coach Darris Nichols joins the show to discuss the team's season-opener on the road against North Carolina and their multiple opportunities to play high level programs, including West Virginia and Clemson later in the year. Nichols also touches on the team's upcoming trip to Cancun for a pair of games, how the transfer portal impacted them this offseason and how critical it is to have continuity in today's college basketball.
Nichols also shared his thoughts on the NIT no longer guaranteeing spots for regular season conference winners and how that will only create more problems, while not solving any, and closed with conversation about the overall state of college basketball and the rapid amount of changes in the modern era.
