The Winning Moments Show: Season 1 Episode 6

Welcome back to The Winning Moments Show — Episode 6! After Kevin’s trip to Florida, the crew jumps straight into a packed week of Section 1 hoops, starting with reflections from the Slam Dunk Showcase and rolling into this week’s biggest storylines.

We break down teams that stood out, teams that left us with questions, and the players who are putting up monster numbers as the season hits the midway point and basketball starts to get real.
