Schedule Breakdown, Palestra Bound, and the Road Ahead

Basketball is in the air. Practice is rolling, the roster is deep, and the Juniata Men’s Basketball Show is officially back. In this season-opening episode, Tom Frank, Biz, and Head Coach Greg Curley break down the full 2024–25 schedule and lay out the storylines already taking shape.

Coach Curley gives an inside look at preseason progress and why this young squad already feels ahead of last year’s curve. The crew digs into:

• The opening stretch against three brand-new non-conference opponents (hello Mount Aloysius, Westminster, and Alfred State).
• A brutal early conference test vs Landmark heavyweights Susquehanna, Drew, Catholic, and Scranton—four title contenders in four games.
• The holiday slate featuring the always chaotic Doc Green Tournament and a showdown with former assistant Jacob Flegel at Messiah.
• January and February grind time, including a Palestra game vs Goucher and the official return of Alumni Weekend on February 7th vs Wilkes.
• The philosophy behind this schedule: embrace challenges early, build toughness, deserve victory.

Plus: alumni trash talk, Pittsburgh vs Philly attendance war, why scrimmage locations are “classified,” and a declaration that this season is about growth—no shortcuts.
