Jimmy Patsos, head men's basketball coach at Siena college, stopped by Big Board Sports for the first edition of the Siena men's basketball coaches show of the season. Expectations are high for Siena this season as they return the lions share of a lineup that won 21 games in 2015-16...

UAlbany men's basketball coach Will Brown stopped by for two segments on Big Board Sports and took on all sorts of questions. From who will play point guard this season to who his favorite football team and UFC fighter is, and just about everything else in between...

I thought it was an implied belief that if you have super powers you're only supposed to use them for things that are good in nature. Now, former Duke Blue Devil, Quinn Cook, is no super hero.

When talking about the best basketball players to ever come out of upstate New York, anyone who knows what they're talking about would mention the name Rashaun Freeman. And how couldn't you? Dating back to his time winning the 2001 state championship at Schenectady High School and being named Times Union Section 2 Player of the Year, to his time as an all conference player on the national stage at

It looks like Glens Falls native and Section 2 legend Jimmer Fredette's next stop in his professional basketball career will bring him to China as a member of the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball League. In this video I had a chance to sit down with Rodger Wyland of Big Board Sports (weekdays 10-12pm) and expand upon exactly who the Shanghai Sharks are, what league they play in, other not
