Summary
The heart and soul of the 2022-2023 "Better Together" squad. Mike Bothwell joins the show just hours before the Furman Paladins take on the UConn Huskies in the 2026 NCAA Tournament . Mike doesn't hold back, revealing the "tough love" text messages he sent this year's team during their mid-season slump, his memories of scoring 18 straight points at Samford, and the emotional reality of watching JP Pegues' shot 500 times in the upset over Virginia. In This Episode: The "Tough Love" Texts: Why Mike told the current team he was turning off their games in the second half. Upsetting UConn: Mike breaks down why Furman's 6'11" bigs and "House Money" mentality are the ultimate equalizers. The Virginia Bench Speech: Mike reflects on fouling out and leading the team to an upset while sitting next to Bob Richey. Pro Life in Greece: The "no excuses" reality of international basketball and the transition to the professional ranks. Three Peas in a Pod: Mike’s future in media and his take on the Cavs' James Harden trade. Presented by Ingles Markets
