ALASKA SPORTS TALK
In this jam-packed episode of Alaska Sports Talk, Keaton and Isaiah dive into the wild ride that was the 2025 ASAA March Madness Alaska! We’re breaking down the top teams, championship showdowns, and jaw-dropping performances that lit up the court. Attendance was off the charts, and the NFHS Network numbers? Let’s just say the whole state and lots of the Lower 48 was watching! Then it’s time to talk shot clock. Will 4A hoops finally get the 35-second countdown next season? It’s in the plan… but with school budget issues looming, we’ll talk about whether this game-changer is actually on the way. On the ice, the Anchorage Wolverines and Fairbanks Ice Dogs have both clinched playoff spots—but who’s gonna grab that 2-seed? It’s a tight race, and with Anchorage hosting 3 of their final 4 games starting this Saturday, it’s must-watch hockey. Plus, the UAA Women’s Basketball squad made it to the NCAA DII Tournament! But… they’re facing a conference rival in Round 1?! Keaton has thoughts, and he’s not holding back.
