Episode 54: Allen Iverson on load management and assessing the Big 5 chances of making NCAA Tournament
Episode notes
In today's episode, recorded on Friday, October 31, 2025, I assess the chances of each Big 5 school (Drexel, La Salle, Penn, Temple, Saint Joseph's, Villanova) of making the NCAA tournament and ending a three-year drought in March Madness for the Big 5.
I also play a clip of Allen Iverson talking about load management during his appearance at TLA in South Philly for his book promotion of Misunderstood.
