On today’s episode of Get IN. Sports, Dom Miranda and Nate Spangle sit down with former Purdue player Matt Carroll to talk about his broadcasting aspirations, the 2026 NBA Draft and the potential roles for former Boilermakers Braden Smith (Indiana Pacers) and Trey Kaufman-Renn (Minnesota Timberwolves), Indiana native and former Michigan men’s basketball coach Dusty May jumping to the NBA, and his Guatemala upbringing and love of the World Cup.
Before Carroll joins the show, Dom criticizes WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert for canceling a promised Dan Patrick appearance and staying silent amid narratives around Caitlin Clark, arguing the league should embrace and protect Clark as the face of the WNBA.
Dom and Get IN. Sports’ Will Duncan then discuss the Indiana Fever being in the middle of the pack in the league standings, three Fever All-Stars (Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston), injuries, and Mitchell’s scoring consistency.
Carroll’s segment touches on his goal of becoming a sports broadcaster and modern announcing, NBA draft takeaways, why fit and durability matter, May’s leap to the NBA, Clark’s impact, and the World Cup.
The show wraps up with Indiana high school basketball trivia and Monon Bell neutral-site talk, with the 132nd meeting between DePauw University and Wabash College taking place on Nov. 14 at Ball State’s Scheumann Stadium in Muncie, Indiana.
