Mighty UOP
Listen
Knowledgeable college basketball fans would know that the University of the Pacific is the alma mater of Michael Olowokandi, the #1 overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft. But, except for those who live near UOP's campus in Stockton, California, casual fans know little about the Tigers. Perhaps its time for an introduction. We'll talk with Pacific head basketball coach, Bob Thomason.
Phoenix Suns
Listen
The Phoenix Suns, led by point guard Steve Nash, are on of the NBA's top three teams heading into next month's playoffs. As Mark Moran of member station KJZZ reports, their success is due in large part to their willingness to adopt a new old style of play.

Listen
Professional bowlers and aromatherapy collide.
Baseball, Congress, and Steroids

Testosterone Dreams
Listen
In a new book entitled Testosterone Dreams, John Hoberman has explored the history of performance enhancing drugs.

Mr. Hoberman joins us for a conversation about his new book.
