The Silver Streaks opened the 2025-26 season Wednesday, Nov. 26, with an 86-60 thrashing of Limestone — a performance that left even veteran broadcaster Brad Bennewitz searching the record books. For the first time in at least 33 years, three Streaks scored 20+ points in the same game.

Hall-of-Fame voice Brad Bennewitz (29th season) and color analyst Jason Wessels (former player and 4th-year broadcaster) join the podcast to discuss:
