The Old Men talk with UH WBB coach Matthew Mitchell Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to another offseason Interview episode (#84) of Season 3 on the No Conference for Old Men Podcast.

The 3 Old Men are proud to bring back a friend of the pod and UH WBB Head Coach, Matthew Mitchell. This is year two for Coach Mitchell, with a complete reboot and roster upgrade for a second go-round through the Big 12. We go even deeper in this interview, talking about how lessons from this past season shaped how this upcoming season's roster was built.

Please note that this interview was taped before Justice Carlton's devastating season-ending injury.

We bring depth and insight into Coach Mitchell's perspective that you won't find anywhere else!

ALAMO AUDIBLE: UTSA seeks to build off a close road win over Rice Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

Rice's defense shut out UTSA in the second half in Houston, but 16 points were enough for the Roadrunners to get out to a 1-0 record in conference play. The offense struggled, but UTSA's defensive front really impressed. Next up is a 4-1 USF team who has struggled to put bad teams away despite a $20M roster. Are the Bulls due for a break out, or can UTSA lean on Alamodome magic to continue their hot start to 2026?

The Longhorn Republic: Men's and Women's Basketball Preview Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

We decided to take advantage of the bye and dive in on the 2026-27 basketball teams, as both units hope to make some waves in the postseason.

Sean Miller enters his second season on the Forty Acres with a new-look team, after adding key pieces to the portal and multiple blue-chip prospects. The SEC will once again be one of the top leagues in the country, so what do we expect after a season of overachieving?

Vic Schaefer and his squad once again came up short on the biggest stage, making yet another Final Four, but falling to a team they beat earlier in the season. Rori Harmon is gone, but Madi Booker is back to lead the charge, who else can Texas depend on to get the job done?

Colorado State got off to an extremely quick 14-0 lead over UTSA, but the Roadrunners hardly flinched, using a 35 point run to defeat the Rams 59-45 in the highest scoring game in program history.
