Things Discussed: Howard preview: Their center isn't a center, but he's mini-Yaxel. Takeaways from BTT: Brian/Craig/Sam: The Purdue game was just a ref show—Oscar Cluff is a a) Buffalo, b) Oaf, c) deliberately running guys over and cheating on screens. Michigan doesn't have enough galoots. Seth: I've moved on. Biggest concern is Michigan vs Wisconsin: bringing too much help to the rim when we have some five-out teams (Saint Louis!) in the first weekend. Georgia and St. Louis. Georgia is soft—they have a shot-blocker and a lot of guards who can get their own points. Robbie Avila looks like Seth Fisher—he looks like a gumnut out there—but he's very skilled, especially at setting his guys up. I really like their four, Amari McCottry. Yaxel, take over man! Lots of opportunities to get him vs a mouse in the house and they didn't make the read. Michigan seemed to want to use Rez in that spot instead and he didn't have an inspired week. Pickin upsets: UNI over St. John's? Can slow the game to a grind. Kinda think NDSU? They've rediscovered the lost art of the defensive-invariant floater—not saying I am picking a 14 over a 3 but that's the one. Craig: Anyone notice they got Hurley, Izzo, and Cronin all in the same corner of the bracket? Poor Johnny Dawkins: what did I do to end up with these guys? Going further than their seed: Arkansas and Acuff. He's going to be a lottery pick, Arkansas paid for him and it was worth it. Calipari teams are kids at the start of the year (when they played MSU) but by the Tourney they're not freshmen anymore. OT: [BREAKING NEWS: Cade Cunningham will be out 8-10 weeks with a collapsed lung.] Billy Donlon in at EMU. Why did he leave Michigan? Not saying. In break: Does Michigan get an NIL discount? Champions Circle doesn't want to say so but yeah, when the money is close it's about lifestyle. Texas should get a Tournament ban for getting in last year and this year. Their best nonconference win: NC State. Bubble was terrible this year but that doesn't mean a mid SEC team should get in. Miami University is the perfect Tournament invite: They understood the assignment. Whom to invite instead of bubbly major conference teams? Mid-majors who won their conferences. Illinois in the Final Four? Yeah, they've got size and Wagler can shoot them to Indy (I had Nebraska taking out Florida). Houston takes such ugly shots, Illinois will make them uglier. Who can expose their frontcourt? Well, Florida.

Ryan Hammer joins Stripe Sports for a full March Madness deep dive—breaking down who can actually cut down the nets… and who's just noise. We start by dissecting the contenders outside of Hammer's “Trapezoid of Excellence” (Duke, Michigan, Gonzaga, Arizona, Iowa State), diving into how they win and how they lose—including UConn, Kansas, Purdue, Houston, Michigan State, and more. Then we get into a big-picture debate: Is the mid-major Cinderella run officially dead in the NIL + portal era? True or False. From there, it's classic Stripe Sports segments: Sports Scantron: Which Coach Cal freshman guard (Wall, Fox, Tyreke, Acuff) would you trust to lead a title run? Who Would You Rather Have: Cam Boozer vs a gauntlet of college legends (Zion, AD, Edey, Flagg, Banchero & more) Coach Edition: Jon Scheyer vs some of the biggest names in March (Izzo, Pitino, Hurley, Calipari, Painter) We close by identifying 5 non-lottery players who can explode their NBA Draft stock with a big March Madness run—next names up before they skyrocket. If you're filling out a bracket, betting futures, or scouting the next wave of NBA talent—this is your edge. Tap in for elite analysis, bold takes, and everything you need before the madness tips off. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Will Acuff is a pastor's kid, former rock and roll guitarist, co-founder of Nashville nonprofit Corner to Corner, and author of No Elevator to Everest. He sits down for a conversation about the blurriest member of the Trinity: the Holy Spirit. Will grew up in a theology where the Spirit was, as he puts it, a weird third cousin nobody knew how to engage with. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Bible. But a series of life-altering events cracked that framework wide open. He walks through what it practically looks like to develop a rhythm of listening to the Spirit, starting with ten minutes of stillness each morning, getting curious about what you're feeling and why, and learning to distinguish between the voice of the inner critic and the invitation of the Father running out to meet the prodigal son. Will makes the case that spirit-led self-awareness, not the Oprah version but the kind where you never go inward alone because the Holy Spirit is already there, is the missing piece for most Christians who've reduced the faith to knowledge of God without ever learning to walk with Him.But the episode takes a sharp turn when Will shares a story he's never told publicly. His honeymoon ended in a New Orleans psych ward after a perfect storm of sleeplessness, stress, and praying alone over spiritual forces he had no business engaging with at 24 years old. What started as insomnia spiraled into hallucinations, his wife watching his eyes roll back and his body rise off the bed, cops breaking down the hotel door, and a commitment to the psychiatric unit where he was misdiagnosed and put on antipsychotics for two years. Will is honest about the intersection of mental health and spiritual warfare, how being physically compromised makes you vulnerable, how he believes he knocked on a door he wasn't meant to knock on, and how he now never does anything in the spiritual realm alone. The conversation lands on joy, not the dopamine hit happiness of circumstance, but the deep, guitar perfectly in tune kind of joy that comes from living in union with the Spirit, even in the middle of more sorrow than you ever anticipated. Will's life carries more of both than most, and his practical framework for hearing from God is one of the most grounded and accessible we've had on the show.
