The guys are back with a fun episode discussing UConn's completed roster and added depth as we dive further into the midst of a summer swelter. Tarris Reed and Alex Kraban are BOTH first round picks, Dusty May is a coward, and UConn coach Kimani Young is somewhere in Turkey. Rock with us.

The guys talk a little ball and of course summer, now that it has unofficially arrived!

This week we dive into Jim Calhoun’s unmatched aura, Khalid El-Amin being built like your uncle at the cookout while dominating college basketball, and the hard-hitting question nobody asked for: are autographs even cool anymore? A little UConn history, a little chaos, and a lot of “you had to be there” energy.

In the shadow of the Kentucky Derby, we dive into who truly has UConn's golden tempo. We also touch on our Huskies Mount Rushmore, Uconn's lasting legacy, and the players who left behind the biggest impact on the program. This one was a lot of fun. Jump in!

The legend Tarris Reed joins the program! We cover legacy talk, Karaban, Malachi, and discuss Tarris Reed's impact over the last 2 years as a Husky.

If you’re looking for polished takes, breaking news, and insiders pretending they know everything… yeah, this ain’t that. The Better Get Us Now Podcast is a UConn-centric, UConn-obsessed, proudly biased ride hosted by three absolute stooges who somehow found microphones. This show leans all the way into what being a fan actually is—loud, irrational, emotional, and occasionally (accidentally) insightful. Cheers.
