After an unplanned hiatus, Brendan and John are back for another NBN Pod. As we've just entered the new year, we first recap the month of December and where each team is. Then, we discuss expectations for CAA play. If the men end up with 8 or 9 conference wins, how much of a step up would that represent? On the women's side, what's the outlook, and how crucial will next year be for Coach E?Have a question for for us on the pod? Fire it over to brendan@nobidnation.com or tweet at us @NoBidNati...

Brendan and John come to you right after the W&M men's basketball matchup with Mid-Atlantic Christian, Brendan on-site and John remotely. The hosts discuss what they've learned over the first couple of games this season, and what they still need more evidence to decide.

First, hosts Brendan Doyle and John Kearns discuss what we're looking for in Monday's season-opening doubleheader, with the women playing at 5pm and the men following them at 7:30pm. Then, we kick it to Coach Erin Dickerson Davis. Coach E and the NBN crew discuss the transition into the new job, her enthusiasm for her staff, and her returning ...
John Kearns is out this week, but Brendan is joined by frequent guest and friend of the program Tommy Glasgow, of the Holy City Hoops podcast and blog focusing on College of Charleston basketball. Brendan and Tommy give their thoughts on the new additions to the CAA and the league's positioning before running through this year's recently released men's preseason poll. We preview each team by providing a bold prediction and focusing on some big questions - who's the best incoming team, what gi...
We're back for our third year blogging and podcasting about W&M basketball, and we're incredibly excited you're joining us on the journey. Brendan and John start the third season of No Bid Nation with a couple quick housekeeping notes before getting into the basketball talk. What are our biggest overarching storylines of the 2022-23 season for both the men's team and women's team? How do we feel about Dane Fischer in his fourth year as head men's coach? What do we expect from Riley Casey ...
Brendan, John, and Cameron return from their offseason break to bring you this interview with former William and Mary men's basketball star and current NBA player Nathan Knight. First, the hosts catch back up and discuss some news from the W&M basketball world, including Coach Dickerson Davis hiring her staff on the women's side and the men's team finalizing their roster for this season. But soon enough, Brendan is joined by Knight on a wide-ranging interview (14:53). The pair discu...
Brendan, John, and Cameron fought through massive technical difficulties recording this pod to bring our analysis to you, the people, as there was big news in the W&M world in the past couple of weeks. First, the Tribe has settled on Erin Dickerson Davis as their new head women's basketball coach. What do we think of the fit, and how was her introductory presser? Then, we move onto the most incendiary topic in college basketball -- the transfer portal. With 7 Tribe players now in the port...
William and Mary has let go of women's basketball coach Ed Swanson, and we're here to bring you up to speed. After congratulating both the Delaware men's and women's team for their NCAA Tournament appearances, we jump right in. Why was this decision made for the W&M women's basketball team, and what do we think about it? Then, Brendan brings some possible candidates into the mix, while John and Cameron discuss which of them might be the best fit. Next, the crew ties a bow on this year's m...
THIS. IS. MARCH... not that it ever means anything more than pain for a W&M basketball fan. After debating the origins of the "so you're telling me there's a chance" GIF, Brendan, Cameron, and John jump into a preview of the men's CAA Tournament. The 8-seed Tribe takes on 9-seed Northeastern Saturday in the play-in game. What happened the last time these teams took the floor together, and what does the Tribe need to do to ensure it doesn't happen again? This morphs into a broader discussi...
We're hitting the stretch run of conference play, and there's a lot for Cameron and Brendan to talk about as we move toward March. First, we open the episode discussing the CAA's addition of North Carolina A&T which came together officially very quickly. With 13 schools in for basketball, is another addition on the way and which schools make the most sense? Next, we discuss the Tribe men's continued struggles, as they have now lost seven in a row. Both games this week were winnable -- wha...
Cameron is absent this week, so John and Brendan work their way through the weekend that was for W&M basketball, starting with a 2-1 week for the women's team. What did they show in those three contests, and what can be carried forward? Meanwhile, the men's squad lost three straight with varying levels of moral victory in each -- a little bit against Towson, almost none against JMU, and a fair amount vs. UNCW. We go through the three games and share our frustrations and optimism. Then, wi...
It was a great weekend in every way but one -- no wins on the basketball court. After our trip to Williamsburg to see some hoops, Brendan, John, and Cameron return to discuss the weekend that was. They start with the women, as a familiar theme picked up where it left off: what's up with those third quarters? And what did we see in the Tribe's tough loss to JMU that could be carried forward? Then, we move onto the men's games -- Thursday's game we're glad only Cameron got to watch, and the Gol...
It's finally one of our favorite weekends of the year -- Gold Rush Weekend in Kaplan Arena. We'll be there and we'll be loud, and you better be too. We open up with a look back at the men's 1-1 weekend against Elon -- what's our takeaway from the weekend? Then we discuss an 0-2, but encouraging, weekend for the women, and what's going right for them now. After our look back, we look forward to the Golden Weekend to come. The W&M men lost on a buzzer-beater to Charleston last time, what do...
In slow breaking news from the last week, the CAA is adding Hampton, Monmouth, and Stony Brook, and we are here to break it down. Brendan, Cameron and John first discuss what this means for W&M and the ideal conference fit for the Tribe, before we each come up with dream CAA additions. Then, we move onto a subpar weekend for the Tribe, with the men losing both their contests and the women dropping their only game. We look at the encouraging signs through those games before playing a game ...
The Tribe is 2-0 in the CAA on the men's side, and Brendan, John and Cameron are here to figure out... exactly how that happened. First the guys catch up before jumping into basketball talk. We recap the Hofstra and Northeastern games at home and their exciting conclusions, walk though the individual contributions that made them possible, and what parts of this run are sustainable? Then, we briefly discuss the horrendous week on the women's side with two lopsided losses before taking a look a...
Brendan, Cameron, and John join forces for the greatest holiday-themed episode of W&M basketball audio ever created. We regale you with "'Twas the Night Before Tribemas" in the cold open, then open the episode talking about various holidays before getting into the basketball. We recap the last couple of weeks on both the men's and women's side, while giving our thoughts on the results but not getting too deep. Then, we go through our W&M basketball Christmas lists, with some input fro...
That is the question, for Dane Fischer at least. Brendan, Cameron, and John begin the episode going over the Tribe men's past week, three losses of various quality, including an encouraging performance against Old Dominion. We then discuss W&M's defense, and debate the merits of Fischer playing centers Ben Wight and Langdon Hatton together for long stretches. We follow that up with a recap of the women's week, and talk about Sydney Wagner's slow start and what it means for the Tribe. Then...
With the basketball season a couple of weeks in, we have a little better of an idea who each W&M team is, so Brendan, John and Cameron discuss expectations moving forward. First, we discuss the men's team's rough start to the season. With zero D-I wins, what's the biggest issue for the Tribe? What would determine a successful season? Meanwhile, the women's team has looked good, with a winning record through five games. What has the biggest surprise been so far this year? Then, we take a m...
Brendan, John, and Cameron recap the first week of games this season before playing "Stock Up/Stock Down" with the Tribe. We then look forward to this week's games and talk about what we're expecting.
