Context Always Matters
Context is important. Despite what this podcast may have led you to believe so far, there was much more going on besides basketball. The world at large, as it tends to do, forced students to grow their awareness and social consciousness well beyond the basketball court.

But first, we get an update on this year's SJU squad from first-year assistant coach Alex Rasmussen.
