Mike Safo with Scoonie Penn

Mike Safo

After 4 years of being Twitter best friends, Ohio State legend and basketball great Scoonie Penn calls into the show. Scoonie and I talk about how we got connected on twitter, who slid into whose dm’s and about his new position at THE Ohio State (Director of Player Development). We taped this show a few days before Selection Sunday so we talked about the Ohio State mentality after losing in the Big 10 tourney here at Madison Square Garden and how the coaching staff prepares for the first two rounds of the big dance. We take a trip down memory lane and hear why Scoonie, after being the Big East Freshman of the Year, decided to leave Boston College and head to Ohio State. We of course talk about that memorable run to the Final Four with Michael Redd. His post collegiate career had him Scoonie dominating all over Europe and he tells us the best and worst part of living abroad. Scoonie might have the best answer of the coolest person in his phone and then we talk some trash about the New York/Boston rivalry and make a bet on the 2018 MLB season with the Yankees and the Red Sox.
