Mad About Hoops

And just like that the College Basketball season has come to an end. Florida is your champs over Houston. CB, Timmy, and Rhymetime break down the title game and the Final Four. How was Florida able to come from behind and beat Houston? Was this the best Final Four ever? We also look ahead at the offseason and the transfer portal. Who could be at the top in Way-Too-Early Rankings? The Ohio State Basketball team has a big offseason ahead of them, and more!

The Final Four is set and it's all chalk! All four 1 seeds meet in San Antonio all with great opportunities to cut down the nets. Timmy and CB begin the pod with an update on who is transferring out of Ohio State with Aaron Bradshaw and Meechie Johnson putting their names in the portal and set the table for the Final Four in San Antonio. Then at the 11:05 mark, Timmy and Rhymetime get into the coaches' portal madness with Kevin Willard dumping on Maryland to head to Villanova and then react to Buzz Williams taking the job in College Park. At 24:00, CB gets back in the booth with Rhymetime to talk about some of the moves in the transfer portal and targets of the Ohio State basketball team choosing elsewhere plus who they could be bringing in. And to finish the show at 33:45, CB and Rhymetime preview the Final Four matchups with their keys for each game and picks on who will advance to the title game and then cut the nets down on Monday night. Enjoy the pod and the epic Final Four we are about to witness!

We are deep into the Madness now! Coming at you in the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament, but first Timmy and CB begin the show breaking down the news about Meechie Johnson and why he left the team. Also, what Ohio State needs to do in the transfer portal for next season. Next at the 12:05 mark, a recap of the unreal games we had in the Sweet 16 on Thursday with Alabama setting a tournament record, Duke surviving a vintage Caleb Love performance, and Texas Tech with a wild comeback over Arkansas. Then, Rhymetime joins Timmy at the 22:40 mark to get into some sounds of the week from Tom Izzo on the transfer portal and Kevin Willard as he's been rumored to be headed to Villanova. And to finish the show at the 34:30 mark, CB and Rhymetime get into the Elite 8 matchups that we know of for sure and who will punch their tickets to the Final 4. Enjoy the pod!

The NCAA Tournament is here! A full episode for this one with lots of different voices hitting you with talk about March Madness. To begin the show, Timmy and CB catch you up on some games that have happened. We get a Calipari vs Pitino matchup after Arkansas knocks out Timmy's Jayhawks. Then at the 7:40 mark, Timmy is joined by the guys from Rothman and Ice. First Matty Ice chops it up with Timmy on a pair of the upsets that happened on Thursday and the cool stories around those games. Who was Matty Ice a fan outside of Ohio growing up?

We are single digit days away from Selection Sunday, and we've gotten ourselves a good appetizer for the NCAA Tournament with the week it's been in the Conference Tournaments. We get the show started getting into some of the craziness that has occurred this week already with all the buzzer beaters and great games. Fran McCaffery is out at Iowa, and he went out in his own style. At the 10:40 mark, we get into some of the teams we've been watching this week getting a taste of what they're like for the NCAA Tournament and what happened to the Ohio State basketball team in their loss to Iowa in the Big Ten Tournament. Then at 21:00, a discussion of where the current program at Ohio State is, what they need to do this offseason, and why they belong with the Blue Bloods of the sport. And to finish the show at 33:10, we get into some of our favorite moments from past Conference Tournaments, and we hear from the great Rick Pitino. The madness is here!

The music is getting louder! 10 days from Selection Sunday! Timmy Hall, Evil Bald Colin, and Rhymetime are with you for episode 121. We get the show started with a recap of this week in College Basketball with some epic moments happening everywhere. How much is of a threat is Florida to Auburn and Duke as title contenders? At the 14:40 mark, we take a look at Dayton and their big Super Fan the Flyers have. Can the run the table and win the A-10 and steal a bid? We hear from Wes Miller at Cincinnati at the 25:30 mark. Jay Bilas has some thoughts on what changes need to be made in College Basketball, what do we think of them? And to finish the show at the 39:10 mark, we get into what Ohio State has to do this weekend in Assembly Hall and how much more they need to do to go dancing. Like and subscribe and get locked in. March is here!

March is here! The long journey of this season has led us to the madness that is this month. Timmy Hall and Jacob Rhymer with you for this pod starting things out by remembering Gene Hackman, aka Norman Dale, with his legendary work in the great movie "Hoosiers". At about the 11:50 mark, we get into what has happened in College Basketball this week as the madness is beginning before March with two buzzer beaters for the schools in Michigan, plus a breakdown of the ending to Michigan State-Maryland. Then at the 24:30 mark, UNC extending Hubert Davis and the guys get into that deal made in Chapel Hill. Also, should we have more regular season games in College Basketball? One coach at a Blue Blood thinks so. To finish the show around 36:10, Ohio State is fighting for their tournament lives. What do they have to do to get in the Big Dance? A look ahead at games this weekend, and more!

Exactly one month from today, we will have games being played in the NCAA Tournament, so lock into the pod and get ready for the madness. It's Timmy's birthday, so we begin the pod with the downfall of his Kansas Jayhawks after they dropped both games to the two Utah teams. What does Kansas need to do to turn this around or is this situation unfixable? Then at about the 13:40, we get into the Bracket Preview. Where could this Ohio State team be seeded at and who are some possible teams they could face? And then at about 23:30 we hit you with some sounds of the week in College Basketball. Rick Pitino is getting his guys fired up while Mick Cronin is calling out his guys, and Micah Shrewsberry is going after the Notre Dame fanbase. Lots of interesting stuff going down, you can tell March is near!

A full crew with you for this pod! A catch up on the week to start the show setting up the Iron Bowl basketball edition on Saturday. Breaking down the SEC's dominance. At the 13-minute mark, Timmy tells us about a famous College Basketball broadcaster he got to meet. Who else have we had interactions with? Then at 25:15, the NCAA Selection Committee drops their top 4 seed lines tomorrow and we get into where some teams could be seeded at and how they should seed the SEC. To finish the show at about 34:15, we get into some sounds of the week. Dan Hurley is playing his part as the villain in the sport, College Basketball twitter is messing with the minds of people, and more!

No Evil Bald Colin for this podcast. Timmy Hall and Rhymetime catch up on what happened over the weekend. Duke dominates UNC, Cal gets the last laugh in his return to Kentucky, and Kansas fails to close out a game again but bounces back against Iowa State. Is Cooper Flagg the best true freshman we've ever seen? At the 13:10 mark, the guys get into a discussion of what makes College Basketball so much harder to win at than College Football and why the Blue Bloods of the sport can have midseason slides and still be fine at the end of the day. Could playing in their respective conferences hurt or help Auburn and Duke? We hit you with an update on Cincinnati and Wes Miller at the 26:50 mark of the pod and what they did to help loosen the team up and get back in the right direction. And then at 38:15 Timmy finishes the pod with his thoughts on the Ohio State basketball team's big win over Maryland. Enjoy the pod and make your free throws!

We are on the eve of February 1st which means we are getting closer to March! Looking back at last weekend to start the show with the Kansas Jayhawks having an ALL-TIME choke job in Allen Fieldhouse in a double OT loss to Houston. UNC and Duke add another chapter their historic rivalry and we breakdown that game on Saturday night. At about 12:25, we hear from our guy Rick Pitino with his message to Big Blue Nation with John Calipari making his return to Rupp. How do we feel the Kentucky fans should welcome him back? Then at the 24:10 mark, Rhymetime hit the road to check out the Cintas Center and the electric Xavier and UConn game. He takes us into the Cintas Center with a review on the arena and what the atmosphere was like. And then to finish the show, the Ohio State basketball team is ROLLIN' and they have a battle with Illinois on Sunday. We talk about what areas they have been exceling at during this win streak, and how they can go into Champaign and pick up another road win.

It's nearing the end of January in College Basketball and things are really heating up. Timmy Hall and Evil Bald Colin get you caught up from games from over the weekend and earlier this week. Alabama and Kentucky was awesome! At about the 10:40 mark the guys get into the situation that happened at TCU with Hunter Dickinson and other TCU players holding onto the ball for a long period of time. Bill Self wasn't a huge fan of that act from his big man. Dan Hurley is at it again, this time declaring himself as the best coach in the sport and the guys discuss if he makes a good case or not. Are replay reviews becoming a problem in the sport? The guys break that down at 24:10 and throw out some ideas to make late-game reviews better. Also, the Ohio State basketball team picked up a MASSIVE win in Mackey Arena knocking off Purdue. What was working for the Buckeyes, and can they go on a run here off this big win? And finally, at the 35-minute mark Rhymetime joins the pod to give an update on North Carolina after dropping two games in a row and what their issues are, along with a look ahead at the huge weekend slate coming up.

Evil Bald Colin is back from all his traveling, and we start by getting him caught up on what's going on in College Basketball. We hit on some impact transfers, and how the SEC is dominating the sport. At about the 11:11 minute mark, we update you on all the Ohio schools. Xavier picks up a big win against Villanova and is entering a big stretch. Dayton is starting to fall after dropping three in a row, what do they need to do to get back on track and get an auto-bid in the tournament. Then of course the Ohio State basketball team and how even with the losses, this January still feels a little different. Then at about 22:02, Timmy got a text from 10TV's Adam King. Cooper Flagg has been awesome, filling up the stat sheet, and this Duke team looks scary good. And then to finish the show, Rhymetime hops on to give us an update on his North Carolina Tar Heels. Could they be turning the corner? Enjoy the Pod! College Basketball is really heating up!

We are back just as conference play in College Basketball is starting to really heat up. The SEC has been dominating the sport. We did some buying or selling on a handful of teams in CBB on if they can get to the Final Four. Mick Cronin lights a fire under his guys, and Rhymetime gives a scorching hot take you'll want to listen for. Where do we stand on some of the teams in the Big Ten and if they can make it far in the Dance? Then, we rank our favorite College Basketball arenas. Some we have been to and some we hope to get to. And to finish the pod, a recap of Ohio State's loss to Oregon on Thursday night.

The College Basketball season is in full throttle. Teams are settling in and we're getting a good idea of what teams can win this thing in April. We start out recapping the first month of the season. Feast Week was nothing short of amazing and delivered some incredible moments in the early part of the season. At the 12:00 minute mark we get into breaking down the defending back-to-back National Champs. Dan Hurley had a "relaxing" week while UConn was taking part in the Maui Invitational. Then at 20:08, the Buckeye Hoops team hit the road for some conference play at Maryland and we talk about how disastrous of an opener to conference play it was. We talk about what areas need corrected and the brutal schedule they have coming up. And at 32:35, we bring on a new member to the team to breakdown the fallout of UNC amidst their losing streak. We cover how the Tar Heels can turn things around before it gets too bad in Chapel Hill. Enjoy the pod and remember this is ONLY December!

Mad About Hoops - A College Basketball Podcast hosted by Timmy Hall and Colin Barringer! They preview the start of the College Basketball season and get ready for Ohio State vs Texas.

The season is over and UConn was dominant. There's a ton of fun conversations to have about what this mean's for UConn's status as a blue blood. I'm confused at how that is even in question. But we also start out by giving our genuine thanks to all of you fine listers for supporting this pet project of ours. We cover the game as professionals and are true fans at heart. It's cool to be both of those things at the same time. Things to watch after we discuss this UConn team, at the 16:36 mark we talk about Dan Hurley as a coach...his coaching chops and his personality. And at 21:44 we get into the final discussion of the season and what we're watching for in the coming months. Once again, thank you so much following this season. Work hard this offseason folks, it'll pay off!

The Road to the Final Four ends here. So who do we got? Is it the dominant teams like UConn and Purdue destined to meet on Monday night? Or can Alabama or NC State knock one of these juggernauts off their perch? We talk a lot of UConn vs Bama in segment 1 and at the 11:15 mark we get more into Purdue vs NC State and Evil Bald Colin will relentlessly go after Zach Edey again. At 23:40 we turn the discussion to the coaching carousel and the wild week of roster construction (and deconstruction) for Ohio State Hoops. Then at 33:20 we dive back into the Final Four and run through our much awaited picks! It's a great weekend to be a college hoops fan. So make sure your feet are set, and enjoy it!

Can you believe this? In the first half of Sweet 16 games alone we saw Clemson knock off Arizona, and Alabama take down 1 seed North Carolina. Crazy. First segment we almost have a National Championship ceremony for UConn. Are we wrong? We'll still make them play it out. But my goodness they dusted SDSU. At the 10:48 mark we get into the Tar Heels' game. And Cormac Ryan kind of told us not to be critical of RJ Davis. But we might do it anyway. At the 21:58 mark we talk about how we didn't see this coming at all from Clemson, and wonder how Brad Brownell lasted at Clemson as long as he did. And at 31:48 we get the final breakdown of the Ohio State season as Jake Diebler heads into a crucial first offseason. Enjoy the pod everyone. Stay in front of your man!!!

Let the CBS college basketball theme play in your head all day long. This is a 100 percent genuine Tournament podcast. We are kids in a candy shop. After glancing at Northwestern surviving Florida Atlantic we go to the game of the night on Thursday with Oakland downing Kentucky and what it means. Those Golden Grizzlies can play. Then around the 19 minute mark we turn the attention to Kansas vs Samford. We listen to some crazy audio of Nick Timberlake saying that he was fouled (HE WASN'T) and I make my case for a coach's challenge in College Hoops. At the 25 minute mark we address some of the famous coaches' comments on expanding the NCAA Tournament or taking away auto bids for mid-majors. And at the 33 minute mark we hit on a wild weekend of hoops at The Schottenstein Center and also CB tells us about his travels to the First Four in Dayton and gives us the review. Enjoy this pod folks and now more than ever, make your free throws!

This region has Purdue in it folks. And when you're a Purdue fan, you know you have to brace for failure and disappointment. I know that because of my Purdue parents and 44 years of not going to the Final Four. They're a one seed for a second straight year and they have some making up to do from last year. Do we believe in them this time? Find out, and find out who we have cutting the nets down in Phoenix. That's it for the breakdowns folks, now it's time to watch hoops until we drool! Enjoy it!

If you were wondering, our nicknames for these regions mean absolutely nothing. Less than nothing. Although, the Top 5 seeds in this region all bowed out early in their conference tournament. So maybe we're on to something. This one is interesting because of lovable underdogs like Vermont and JMU. Do we get crazy here? Check it out as we break down the South.

That's kinda the ironic nickname for the region. You might notice that Evil Bald Colin and I couldn't even be in the studio together to do our next region breakdown. That's how it goes during March Madness. So here's how we see UConn's region going. What kind of trouble is facing the defending national champs? Do either of us have them being bounced before the Final Four? You should find out!

Jake Diebler news crashes our first Bracket Breakdown, but whatever! It's March Madness and crazy stuff is going on in college basketball. The full on West Region dissection starts at the 9:15 mark, and boy oh boy do I have a Sweet 16 sleeper waiting for you. Plus, we have a new employee here at the station and part of his training is to force him to jump on a college hoops podcast. Say hello to UNC fan Jacob Rhymer! Enjoy the podcast and listen carefully so your brackets can look nice. And remember, make your free throws.

Thanks to Terrence Shannon Jr. turning on the afterburners and some of the worst and most unpredictable Big Ten refereeing you will see in a big time game, the Buckeyes late surge to The Big Dance came up short. They needed that win over Illinois to do it, and a 77-74 loss will be a tough pill to swallow. You get some of my reaction from my OSU Sports Network postgame show in the immediate aftermath in this snippet. And then in the 2nd segment we spend some more time on Chris Holtmann taking the job at DePaul and how unique a situation it is for him.

Hello hoops fans! We continue to live in this beautiful month of March where basketball is front and center everywhere you look. This is our time to walk tall. But not if you're a Kansas fan. I am a not so proud alum and I'm currently in my feelings with this team with how the last few weeks have gone. We also open up by breaking down how much we enjoy this week of conference tournaments and why. In segment 2 (14:29) we break down a HUGE head coaching position that just became vacant....Louisville. We talk about how fascinating a coaching search that one will be, and will it mess with Ohio State's search? More pods coming folks. Enjoy this time and remember, make your free throws!

The March Madness continues as we get closer and closer to Selection Sunday. We are jam packed in this episode. We first welcome on the senior writer for The Heat Check, Brian Rauf. Brian is based out of Raleigh so he knows Tobacco Road hoops better than anyone. And since we talked in depth on the Tar Heels last week, we get a read on who these Blue Devils are in advance of the big game part Deux. Then we have our friendly bracketologist on the show again, the Big Underdog! You can tell this guy is in it for the Cinderellas. We certainly ask him about those guys, but he's certainly paying attention to the big dogs as well. One of the biggest rivalries in sports, conference tournaments everywhere, resumes heading towards the finish line and Selection Sunday in our near future. What's not to like? Enjoy the episode folks and as always, make your free throws!

Folks, it's the March edition, even though we're dropping it on Leap Day. We start by rocking out to the beautiful month that we're embarking on. Then Evil Bald Colin takes us through his thoughts about Purdue star Zach Edey. Is he overshadowing some very deserving NPOY candidates that are just as worthy of the talk? Then in the 2nd segment our guy Dave Nathan from the Tar Heel Sports Network joins us to talk about RJ Davis' big game and North Carolina's March Madness potential. Dave does the pre, halftime and post-game work for UNC Basketball. In the 3rd segment it's the latest on the OSU Basketball coaching search and what we're hearing about Sean Miller. And finally we take a look at a huge weekend with 5 games featuring ranked vs ranked. Welcome to March everyone, and as always, make your free throws!

Whether the school will publicly talk about it or not, the Buckeyes are in the early stages of the search for its next basketball coach. We jump into it at the 16:15 mark. Names like Dusty May at Florida Atlantic, Sean Miller at Xavier and a couple Buckeye names in the NBA have surfaced. In the opening segment we take a look at the big games from the past week and talk about UConn's week. At the 10 minute mark we look at a team that might have wildly thrown away a shot at a Big Ten Title! And because he's Evil, Colin really loves him some Rick Pitino. Enjoy the podcast hoops fans! And as always, make your free throws.

This one is dominated by the news that Ohio State fired HC Chris Holtmann. We hear from Gene Smith on the decision to move on from Holtmann. We form our lists for Ross Bjork to consider for the position. We finish off the week looking ahead to the weekend full of games!

Happy 100 to Mad About Hoops! We didn't even realize it was coming and sadly Evil Bald Colin is out in Vegas covering the Super Bowl and paying homage to Tark the Shark. The Buckeyes keep sliding and there was a super frustrating game ending from this week that we jump right into. Then I recruited some help on this pod in the form of Ohio University Head Coach Jeff Boals. The convo gets started at the 11 minute mark. Jeff was a long time Thad Matta assistant so he knows OSU hoops and he knows how to build up a mid-major. He's had 5 straight winning seasons at OU. AT 22:45 we ask him about what's happening with Ohio State hoops so don't skip that. Then at 33:20 we take a look at one of the most intriguing players in college hoops before setting the table for a fabulous weekend.

We open the pod and wind up talking about some of the other schools that keep us engaged when our current team's season is falling off a cliff. That takes us to Big Sky country because we're sick like that. At 15:40 we dive into the Buckeye breakdown and talk about an element to this season that is more trying than just the losses on the court. And at the 24 minute mark we talk about some CBB drip. The baggie shorts, the uniforms that always caught our attention. What's the best? We actually hold some of Ohio State's uniforms in very high regard. And finally we talk about some of the matchups we can get to as road trippin' Midwesterners not afraid of a short drive. Enjoy the pod and remember to make your free throws!

This one is juicy folks. If you are looking for answers as an Ohio State Basketball fan, we try to give them all to you in this podcast. Right after our opening segment that has some Dayton flare (we aren't trolling they're really good) we get with Adam Jardy of the Columbus Dispatch and find out if this team can save it's season and go to the NCAA Tournament. The big discussion starts at the 18 minute mark. And in closing, maybe the best game to get to this weekend for Midwesterners who love crushing road trips is indeed the NW vs OSU game at Welsh-Ryan Arena. Enjoy this Buckeye therapy folks. Remember to hit your free throws!

Look at who just retired from our game in recent years. Giants of the sport like Coach K, Roy Williams, Jay Wright, Jim Boeheim are no more. So who are the guys in that next wave of great coaches in college basketball? Colin's got the list for you (27:14) in this episode so be prepared to know the future. We come right out of the gates talking about the current top coaches and we also hit on what those dominant UConn Huskies (9:45) are up to. They're following up their national championship by reaching the no. 1 ranking in the AP Poll for the first time in 15 years. The Buckeye breakdown hits you at 16:12 as Ohio State truly goes into a must win game vs Penn State. Then at 37:43 we take you around the MAH road trip meter and tell you about some games this weekend you might want to check out. Enjoy this episode and remember, hit your free throws!

It's another week into January and conference play caught up with 4 of the Top 5 teams in the AP Poll. Purdue, Houston and Kansas all go down. You can throw Tennessee into the mix as well. We hit on the mayhem and what it means, and also check out the Wooden Award Top 25 player list. Then we get knee deep into the issues we've seen from Ohio State in their back-to-back losses (16:55). What are the real concerns and what are the overreactions? Then we take a look at some metrics that might not be the most favorable for what feels like a much improved team for the Buckeyes (26:52) and we hit on a huge win for the last Buckeye head coach at Butler. Then at the end it's our MAH Road Trip Meter. Those games that midwesterners would love to drive to. As always, make your free throws! Enjoy the hoops.

We have made it to Week 9 of the CBB season as conference play is here the rest of the way. The guys re-set the table and give some views on the top teams in the sport right off the top of the pod. They jump right into the Buckeye Breakdown (16:30) in Segment 2. Then in Segment 3 (25:46) it's all about the beauty and mystique of tiny gyms and a smooth transition into our favorite bucket getters of all time. We thank Caitlin Clark of Iowa for turning the discussion to binge scoring. Then in our final segment (40:00) we hit the Mid Major Flavor as two conferences are on Colin's mind, and our MAH Road Trip meter shows you the way to some great CBB matchups accessible by way of central Ohio. Remember, hit your free throws!

As if last week didn't bring the juice with monster non-con (and in some cases league play) matchups left and right....just take a look around. First off we have the Buckeyes playing UCLA in the CBS Sports Classic. And that's just a small part of a ridiculous weekend slate. From Arizona vs Purdue, to that game down the road in B-town. Anthony Rothman of The Fan went to Kansas and Indiana as a student. How incredible would that college basketball experience be? Anthony will tell us what it was like. Then he hangs around as we go in-depth on Bobby Knight, as well as Anthony's own favorite coaches in the game. That topic almost turns into another one altogether. Evil Bald Colin isn't sick anymore, he's just out on vacation. Happy Holidays hoops fans, and as always, make your free throws!

The guys are giddy about some of the ball they were able to soak in this past week. Shaka Smart won the Shaka Bowl as Marquette pounded Texas. The Jimmy V Classic brought the heat. Four teams in the Top 20 went after it as the guys love what they see with Marquette standout Tyler Kolek. Then sick Evil Bald Colin takes a breather as Andrew Zoldan drops by to talk about the Buckeyes and some burning storylines in the sport. He's from the Drive the Lane Podcast as well as The Basketball Tournament. He's got a great story about how TBT got him into the media game in College hoops. The Mid Major Flavor hits on some wild news in our game of a coach calling it a career, and the MAH Road Trip Meter fires up too. As always, please hit your free throws!

Boy oh boy do we dive into a lot on this pod coming off of Feast Week as we break down the team that won the Maui and sits at no. 1 in the nation, Purdue (25:30). But we dive into a fun discussion in the first segment about how new TV platforms enhance our experience as CBB fans. We also talk about the one thing that quickly becomes a thorn in our side a couple games into a new season -- the REFS!!! The Duke at Arkansas game was a Banger (13:15)! The Buckeyes won a holiday tournament and we break down OSU at 29:45. And last but not least at the 37:15 mark we hit the MAH Road Trip Meter, those under the radar games that you might want to hop in the car and get to as a Midwesterner. And Colin looks West for his Mid Major Flavor of the week. Tell your friends. And as always, make your free throws!

We finally have some real basketball to talk about and as we head into Week 2 we deliver our Final Four picks as promised. I will tell you, between the two of us there are eight different teams, and only one Big Ten team. That Big Ten team is not who you expect. We jump into some Buckeye action right off the top of the pod, then the Final Four picks hit you at the 7 minute mark. At the 23 mark we hit some Mid Major flavor. You will not believe how an Ohio school lost a game recently. Then at the 32:45 mark I ask Colin about an outrageous last second hoops road trip that could pop up. It involves the no. 1 team in the nation. Enjoy this pod folks!

It's a different kind of season preview with the passing of college basketball icon Bobby Knight. We share our thoughts on the legacy Coach Knight leaves behind in the first segment of the podcast, and Timmy brings along his two favorite Bobby Knight soundbites at the 36 minute mark. The two maniacs talking everything college hoops starts at the 12 minutes mark and ranges from everything to the Champions Classic event coming up, the mid-major-esque Final Four we just saw, FAU, San Diego State, Houston, Creighton and more. Then at the 24 minute mark is our Buckeye Breakdown. It's a big year for Ohio State and we all got to see what it could look like in an exhibition game at Dayton. Enjoy this pod folks, the long road to the Final Four is about to begin!

The college basketball season is a long and winding road. Funny, the marketing people at the NCAA think the same thing. That's why they call it the road to the Final Four. But we've made it there and we spend the better part of the first two segments talking about San Diego State, Florida Atlantic, UConn and Miami. We talk about why we both enjoy this mix of teams. At 23:45 we discuss another spin of coaching carousel. Penn State, VCU and George Mason all come up there. And at 34:50 we dazzle you with some Final Four facts that we're sure you didn't know yet, and we lock in our picks for the weekend. It's been a blast guys. Thank you for following along. And enjoy the hoops!
