Lots of good stuff here with Bob, Joe and Chris joined by Brycen. Buffalo trip reviewed including time spent between games. But since many other things were discussed, this podcast tops the record I think for length as it lasted over 54 minutes. Great listen which has a general theme of how well everyone involved with the team interacts with each other both on and off the court therefore helping to explain why the season has been so rewarding so far.

Yetna update from the podcast: Podcast was recorded on Tuesday. Either Tuesday or Wednesday, Yetna began individual workouts. Casey said after a few days of individual workouts, if everything goes well, Yetna will be part of 5 on none drills in practice. Sounds to me like Yetna won’t be playing this weekend and I don’t have my hopes up that he’ll be able to go against Quinnipiac next weekend.
Came late to this one. Just to add, another impressive young man. Glad to hear BG is taking Italian and has taken French, he's going to be playing pro ball overseas and may end up in one or both countries. He shoots from pro range right now and should only improve.
Also of note how BG said no one has helped his game more than Chris Casey. If Casey stays, that’s a heck of an endorsement for transfers to hear from a 4-star recruit who has become one of the best shooters in the NCAA.
More than anything, these podcasts help fans connect with this team. Bob and Joe do great work together.
Yes, I just tried listening to it and received a temporarily unavailable message. Hopefully, when someone locates a functioning podcast — they’ll post the link.
Items from the podcast: ~Casey felt if we hit more free throws and finished better with the shots at the rim, we would have won against Quinnipiac. ~Joey D. said he thinks to win the MAAC regular season, Fairfield needs to go 2-0 this weekend. ~Bleechmore definitely not playing either game this weekend and from Casey’s comments — it seems extremely unlikely that Yetna will play at all this weekend. Yetna participating in 5 on 5 halfcourt drills in practice but not the 5 on 5 full court drills. ~Best quintet for +/- stat for team is 4 guards and Bleechmore. Believe it was +47. ~Floyd missed practice before QU game to be at the birth of his son. ~Bleechmore played at same prep school that Maidoh attended. ~We are 8-0 this season when we shoot 38% or better on threes.
Many more interesting comments and observations in the podcast.

With each and every podcast, it is clear how fortunate we are to have Chris Casey. He’s humble, knowledgeable, analytical, adaptable, optimistic, a great teacher and definitely knows how to foster a team environment. He’s always complimentary to every player as well. You listen to him and you can’t help but root for the Stags.
Edit: Apparently Drew Kingsley had to fill in for the regular producer which might explain why it came out the afternoon of an away game. At around the 48 minute mark, Joey D. begins asking what he claims is the elephant in the room. He asks Casey how he feels about the interim tag still being on his job title. Also, earlier in the podcast — Heussler asked Jalen Leach about his plans for next year. Leach replied yes he has thought about it and has discussed things with his parents. No other comment after that. Don’t want to read too much into his reply — I wonder if how our season ends factors into his decision at all.
