Happy 100th Episode! What a fitting way to celebrate the BATR Podcast’s 100th Episode on Thanksgiving Day.
On this one, Coach James Young wonders what’s going on with the reigning men’s basketball National Champions in the UConn Huskies, as the team lost back-to-back games sitting with a record of 4-2. Is the problem lately on the players or on head coach Dan Hurley?

Next, in terms of women’s college basketball, there is a notable game taking place on Friday evening as Notre Dame takes on TCU. There are some great scores on both sides such as Hannah Hidalgo for the Fighting Irish and Hailey Van Lith for the Horned Frogs. Who do you think will come out victorious in this matchup?

In the NBA, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal made their returns this week to the Phoenix Suns lineup. They, along with Devin Booker, put up some major numbers on the stats sheet in their dominant 127-100 win on Tuesday, 11/26 against the Lakers. However, Coach wonder what’s the ceiling for this team. Can this big three of Booker, Durant, and Beal be able to compete for NBA Championship or just be plagued by the injury bug?
Stinking in the association, Coach takes a look at the NBA Cup futures market. He picks a team that you should bet on to win this tournament. It may or may not surprise you with the way this team has been playing to start their season.
Lastly, Coach wants to give a shoutout to everyone from the SportsGrid family to everyone that has been a part of his life and give his thanks to them as we celebrate not only our 100th Episode, but also Thanksgiving. We appreciate each and every one of you, who has listened and watched this podcast since the very first episode back in November 2023. We only hope to keep this going for a long time to come with more basketball content and best bets coming your way.
From Coach Young, producer Matthew George, and the entire SportsGrid family, we wish you Happy Holidays and a Happy Thanksgiving!
