Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program talking about the emotional and significant release of Eden Alexander, the longest-held hostage by Hamas. He expresses deep empathy for the victim’s family and the unimaginable anguish they endured. Brett emphasizes that holding civilians as ransom is a war crime and strongly denounces the October 7th attacks, describing them as targeted assaults on innocent people. He contrasts the values of Israel—where religious freedom thrives—with the oppressive, violent tactics of terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. We’re joined by Carson Luger, chairman of the St. Philip Neri Italian Festival, to talk about the Italian Festival starting this Thursday and going on through Saturday. The festival will have authentic Italian food, artisans, and entertainment.

Reflecting on the team’s history—from Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning to more recent highs with Kemba Walker—they discuss how securing the number one pick could reignite Charlotte’s basketball legacy. The conversation then pivots to politics, as they analyze reports that Donald Trump may acquire a luxury jet from Qatar. Bo shares insights from his interview with Mick Mulvaney, highlighting the complexities of retrofitting such an aircraft to presidential standards and speculating on Trump’s true intentions—whether to use it as Air Force One, a future museum centerpiece, or a negotiating chip with Boeing.

 In today's episode of Locked On UConn, we dive into the Huskies' highly anticipated matchup against Notre Dame at Purcell Pavilion. No. 2 UConn, undefeated at 8-0, faces their biggest test yet as they take on the No. 8 Fighting Irish (7-2) in a game packed with historical significance and current intrigue. With Azzi Fudd sidelined due to a knee sprain, UConn will need key contributions from Ashlynn Shade, Kaitlyn Chen, and KK Arnold to step up in her absence. We break down their roles, Notre Dame's dynamic backcourt trio of Hannah Hidalgo, Olivia Miles, and Sonia Citron, and how this storied rivalry continues to shape women's college basketball. We also reflect on the history of UConn vs. Notre Dame, recounting some of their most iconic games and moments, from Final Four buzzer-beaters to national championship battles. This rivalry is more than a game—it's a measuring stick for greatness. As the Huskies look to maintain their unbeaten streak and Notre Dame seeks a statement win, this episode sets the stage for a game with enormous stakes. Show Notes: “UConn Faces Notre Dame: Rising Without Azzi Fudd” Segment 1: Rising to the Challenge Without Azzi FuddWith Azzi Fudd out due to a minor knee sprain, UConn will rely on Ashlynn Shade, Kaitlyn Chen, and KK Arnold to fill the void. Shade, returning to her home state of Indiana, will step into the starting lineup, bringing defensive energy and offensive versatility. Kaitlyn Chen, a grad transfer, must provide scoring and leadership in high-pressure moments. KK Arnold, meanwhile, will play a critical role in defending Hannah Hidalgo, using her physicality and defensive instincts to disrupt Notre Dame's dynamic freshman guard. Geno Auriemma has confidence in this trio to keep the Huskies competitive and maintain their signature efficiency on both ends of the floor. Segment 2: Notre Dame's Star Power and Game PlanNotre Dame enters the game with an elite backcourt trio in Hannah Hidalgo, Olivia Miles, and Sonia Citron. Hidalgo leads the Irish with 24.6 points per game, while Miles adds 17.2 points and 6.6 assists. The team's rebounding strength, led by Liatu King and Kate Koval, will test UConn's frontcourt. Notre Dame thrives on pick-and-roll action and second-chance opportunities, making UConn's ability to contain their guards and win the battle on the boards critical to the game's outcome. Segment 3: The Rivalry RenewedUConn vs. Notre Dame is one of the most storied rivalries in women's basketball history, with 25 top-10 matchups and countless unforgettable moments. From Skylar Diggins' dominance in the 2011 Final Four to Arike Ogunbowale's legendary buzzer-beater in 2018, this rivalry has defined an era. Thursday's game adds a new chapter, as UConn seeks to remain undefeated and Notre Dame looks to prove they can compete with the best. We explore the stakes for both programs, reflect on iconic games from the past, and predict how this matchup could unfold. Ads Gametime Ad CopyThere's nothing like being courtside for a live basketball game.

While Dell Curry is now known in public mostly for being the father of two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Steph Curry, he had his own stellar NBA career. Known for his three-point sharpshooting at a time when the NBA was far less enamored with that long-distance shot, the elder Curry had a 16-year NBA career that included 10 years as a player for the Hornets from 1988-98 -- the team's first 10 seasons. Curry earned the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award in 1994 and retired as the Charlotte Hornets' all-time leading scorer (a record that stood for 20-plus years before it was broken by Kemba Walker). He and Muggsy Bogues both came to the Hornets via the 1988 NBA expansion draft and quickly became fan favorites in Charlotte. Curry has served as the Charlotte Hornets' color analyst on the team's TV broadcasts since 2009. Now 59, Curry grew up in rural Virginia and has lived in Charlotte since his 2002 retirement from the NBA. He is the father of two current NBA players -- Steph and Seth -- and talks in this interview about the time Steph nearly quit basketball in frustration. We conducted this conversation in between sessions at a basketball camp Dell Curry has conducted for decades at Charlotte's Levine Jewish Community Center. Sports Legends of the Carolinas is hosted by Scott Fowler. It's produced by Loumay Alesali, Jeff Siner and Kata Stevens. Our interns on this production are Zoe Williams and Christina Silvestri.
