It’s the dog days of summer for sports coverage and Santa Fe New Mexican sports writers Will Webber and James Barron are talking hoops in the latest episode of “The Sports Den.”

Will attended last week’s 30-minute University of New Mexico men’s basketball practice to check out the new-look Lobos under their new head coach, Eric Olen. He shares his impressions on what he saw, including which players he thinks fans should keep an eye out for.

James also watched some basketball last week, peeking in on a Sandia Prep boys basketball camp that included local powers St. Michael’s and Robertson. He talks briefly about his thoughts on the programs.

James closes the episode by sharing thoughts about his father, Joseph Morse, who passed away last week. He talks about the struggle of losing a parent and the ray of light sports provided for him in the difficult days following his father’s death.
