SoCon Fast Break heads to the mountains of Cullowhee, N.C., to visit Western Carolina and head coach Tim Craft, who shares the one commitment from the Catamounts — "we're going to give you everything we got."

Coach Craft opens up about his personal journey — from the peaceful quiet of an empty gym to the high-stakes reality of building a program in the transfer portal era. Sophomore Samuel Dada also joins in the two-man weaver segment — talking about how his soccer background shaped his elite footwork on the court, shooting nearly 70% from the field, and why Nigerian jollof rice beats every other version.
