Does this episode need to be in video format? Of course not. But you know what? As this station continues to grow, we are going to try new methods to entertain and showcase what RDPS is all about.
This is one of those methods. Don't expect a ton of these in the immediate future, but except some more in the future.
Here on Radio DePaul Sports, we highlight the major sports news from the major teams in Chicago. You know, the Bulls, Bears, Cubs, Sox, sometimes even the Fire. But there are plenty of minor league teams in the Chicagoland area that are also fighting for your attention, and it's important that we highlight all the hard work they do as well.

If an alien only watched Jordan Poole highlights and not all the missed shots, they would think he was the greatest basketball player who ever lived. The same could be said about a number of NBA players, but how many young stars have the ability to learn from the best? Jordan Poole could take all the good things from Steph and be even better, you never know. Even though he is from the Bay Area, this is Chioke’s first year as a Golden State Warriors fan. (let me hear it) Bandwagon!! Booooo! Tomato! Tomato! You heard it here first, Golden State Warriors 2023 NBA Finals Champions. Watch. Top 5, Top 5!
Chioke goes over a couple notable top fives he saw from this week, then gives his own NBA top 5 and all time starting 9 for an MLB all star lineup. See if you agree with his lists on the March 31st episode of What You May Have Missed.
Chioke’s bracket was perfect for almost 3 hours of the tournament, sooooo, he is basically a March Madness expert. Kidding! but I heard the most accurate brackets were those picked on ‘random’ this year. Since they won, maybe his coach was not upset, or maybe it was staged… but K-State’s point guard waved off his coach and threw a no-look alley oop pass to his cutting teammate who finished with a reverse slam in one of the most entertaining NCAA March Madness games ever played. The MLB isn’t back yet, but we got something we have yet to see. They play on the same team in the MLB, but in World Baseball Classic delivers something baseball fans have been dreaming of since we learned who Ohtani was. Also what if we had a basketball database created for matchups so we can see the best bets of the night? Money Glitch. Chioke gets to it all on the March 24th episode of What You May Have Missed.
Welcome back first Demon Time! This week, we are highlighting our Dance Squad.

Welcome back to the first Demon Time episode of Spring quarter here at DePaul University. We're starting the quarter off by highlighting the DePaul cheer team. These athletes put in just as much time and effort as all other athletes which is why we wanted to highlight them on this episode.

With the DePaul Basketball wrapped up, we at RDPS want to highlight some of the games that stuck with us as a station this past season. The next game we want to highlight is a game that happened just eight days after the Villinova game. January 18th our Blue Demon's went up against the then #8 ranked Xavier Musketeers.
Xavier entered the game on an 11-game win streak that started November 30th. Meanwhile, DePaul just a close game to Seton Hall and hadn't won a game against a top ten team in January 18th, 2020 against Butler. A win would also mark first for the Blue Demons all-time against Xavier inside Wintrust Arena, the first at home since 2015, and the first time DePaul has won back-to-back games in the series against Xavier since 1973-74.
Jack Theil and Marie Kane, with James Stowell engineering, called this game.
With the DePaul Basketball wrapped up, we at RDPS want to highlight some of the games that stuck with us as a station this past season. The first game we would like to highlight is the January 10th game against Villanova.

The first with Fred Mitchell, an adjunct faculty at DePaul University who was a sportswriter at the Chicago Tribune for over 41 years. Mitchell discussed his career as a journalist and an athlete and he also had advice for students and student journalists. The second interview was with Jon Greenberg, the founding editor of The Athletic and the lead columnist for Athletic's Chicago branch. Greenberg talked about his column about sports during this movement and what The Athletic is doing overall. The last interview was with DePaul basketball head coach Doug Bruno.

The main thing Bruno highlighted is the need for people to learn and be educated, especially on the topic of race.
