This past weekend, the Cincinnati Bearcats stunned the college basketball world by knocking off No. 2 Iowa State in a stunning Big 12 upset. The Bearcats delivered a 79-70 victory over the Cyclones on Saturday at Fifth Third Arena, handing Iowa State its second straight loss after a 16-0 start to the season. Cincinnati's win was historic on several fronts. It marked the Bearcats' first victory over a Top 2 team at home since 1967, a nearly six-decade drought finally broken in front of a raucous home crowd that even stormed the court after the final buzzer. It was also Cincinnati's best win in over a decade and their first against a top-10 opponent since 2012, giving new life to a season that has had its ups and downs. The Bearcats played with energy, hitting timely three-pointers and creating havoc on defense. Day Day Thomas led the scoring with 19 points, while Jalen Celestine knocked down four triples off the bench and Baba Miller contributed with key rebounds. Cincinnati forced 12 turnovers from Iowa State, turning those mistakes into 20 points and swinging momentum in their favor. Despite a career-high 34 points from Iowa State sharpshooter Milan Momcilovic—including eight made threes—the Cyclones couldn't quite complete their comeback after falling behind early. Iowa State battled back in the second half but ultimately couldn't overcome Cincinnati's balanced scoring and home-court energy. This win doesn't just go down as a highlight of the season—it's a defining moment for the Bearcats program under coach Wes Miller, showing they can compete with and beat elite competition.

Welcome back to Hardcore Penn State Football, the ultimate podcast for raw breakdowns, insider intel, and bold takes on the Nittany Lions! In this explosive episode – dropping January 6, 2026 – hosts Shawn Kane & Cory Lestochi dissect the chaotic transfer portal frenzy reshaping Happy Valley under head coach Matt Campbell. With over 30 players bolting and a flood of Iowa State talent incoming, we're covering the blockbuster addition of QB Rocco Becht, the raid on Cyclone players (including three key linebackers & receivers), record-setting departures, new defensive line coaches, and crucial retentions keeping PSU competitive. From roster rebuilds to Big Ten implications, this is your essential guide to the 2026 Nittany Lions. The portal delivers a game-changer! Former Iowa State starter Rocco Becht, with 26 career wins and 64 passing TDs (second in Cyclones history), commits to PSU for his final season, reuniting with coach Campbell. Shawn analyzes Becht's stats (over 5,000 yards in two seasons as a starter) and film, highlighting his accuracy, mobility, and leadership in leading ISU to an 8-4 record in 2025. Cory discusses how this stabilizes the QB room post-Ethan Grunkemeyer's exit and sets up an immediate contender vibe for 2026. Campbell's Ames pipeline is open wide – PSU lands 19 transfers from Iowa State, including All-Big 12 standouts and starters galore. We spotlight the three linebackers: Kooper Ebel (149 career tackles, two-year starter), Caleb Bacon (team-leading 9.5 TFLs and 3 sacks in 2025), and Cael Brezina (young depth piece). Other highlights: RB Carson Hansen (952 rush yards), TE Benjamin Brahmer (All-Big 12, 6 TDs), S Marcus Neal (77 tackles), and more like WR Karon Brookins and OL Trevor Buhr. Our hosts break down how this "Cyclone invasion" addresses defensive gaps and adds proven Big 12 experience. The coaching transition hits hard – over 30 Nittany Lions enter the portal, a program high amid the Franklin-to-Campbell shift. Shawn details key losses like QB Ethan Grunkemeyer, S King Mack (58 tackles), OT J'ven Williams, WR Josiah Brown, and DEs like Zuriah Fisher and Jaylen Harvey. Cory explores the ripple effects on depth, NIL factors, and how Campbell's staff is plugging holes fast. Bolstering the trenches! PSU hires Ikaika Malloe (former UCLA DC) as DL coach and run game coordinator, reuniting him with new DC D'Anton Lynn. We also discuss the pursuit of Northwestern's Christian Smith for another DL role, specifically working with the defensive ends. Shawn evaluates Malloe's track record (Hawaii native, West Coast coaching ties) and how he replaces Deion Barnes, emphasizing run defense schemes. Cory predicts impacts on recruits and transfers like DT Keanu Williams. Amid the chaos, big wins in retention! Standouts sticking around include LB Tony Rojas (star returnee), OL Anthony Donkoh, Cooper Cousins, and five-star OT Malachi Goodman; CB Daryus Dixson; five-star RB Quinton Martin Jr.; WR Koby Howard; DE Max Granville; and TE Andrew Rappleyea. Our hosts rank the top retentions (Dixson No. 1 for secondary stability) and debate how these holdovers blend with portal additions for a playoff-caliber squad.
