Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles enter a new era under head coach Tobin Anderson following the firing of John Pelphrey. We analyze the impact of recent losses to UT Martin and Southeast Missouri State, discussing how defensive rotations and spacing will define the 2026-27 season. We also address fan questions about rebounding, pace, and our projection for a fourth-place finish in the Ohio Valley Conference.

Key topics include the transition from Pelphrey’s defensive scheme to Anderson’s pace-oriented offense, the need for ball-handling creation against pressure, and the psychological reset required after seven consecutive losing seasons. We examine how players like Lamine Niang’s performance against UT Martin highlights the need for improved shot selection and rim protection.

Our hosts break down the roster battles, emphasizing the importance of versatility and spacing in the modern OVC. With a five-year deal secured, Anderson has the stability to rebuild trust and implement his system. Join us as we answer listener questions about win totals, potential surprises, and the path to 16 victories.
