Caught up with diehard Syracuse fan Kevin Connors and talked about some of his favorite Big East memories.

Indiana proved it can hang with legitimate competition as the Hoosiers knocked off Marquette 100-77 in Chicago, methodically building a lead behind Tucker DeVries' unconscious first-half shooting (24 points on 8-12, 5-7 from three) before Lamar Wilkerson took over in the second half to fend off every Marquette run. Despite significant foul trouble that had multiple starters sitting with three or four fouls, IU never let the lead dip below 10 points and played their walk-ons in the final minute of a neutral-site game against a Big East opponent—a sentence nobody expected to write in November.Andy, Ryan, Coach Tonsoni, and Coach Moats break down how this victory against Shaka Smart's pressure defense validated everything we saw in the early games, examining the adjustments that kept IU in control despite 25 team fouls, and celebrating a performance that moved Indiana to 21st in KenPom.Tucker DeVries' masterclass setting the tone with 24 first-half points, including the heads-up pass to Sicily after slow-playing Marquette into thinking he'd pull it outLamar Wilkerson's second-half takeover with 15 points and multiple dagger threes that stopped every Marquette run cold when DeVries sat with foul troubleTrent Sisley stepping up huge in extended minutes (30 total, 16 in second half) with 11 second-half points including the crucial crosscourt pass to Wilkerson for a momentum-killing threeThe offensive versatility: ghost screens, guard-to-guard ball screens, backdoor cuts off face-guarding, and constant counters to everything Shaka Smart threw at them27 assists on 33 made field goals with only eight turnovers against havoc pressure, plus the starting three guards combining for 21 assists and just three turnoversManaging foul trouble masterfully—playing guys with 3-4 fouls extended minutes, backing off ball pressure strategically, and only having one disqualificationSam Alexis and Jasai Miles eating critical bench minutes when foul trouble hit, with Alexis going for 13 and 5 in 26 minutes as a plus-34And much more.On the mics: Andy Bottoms, Ryan Phillips, Brian Tonsoni, and Bob MoatsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jeff Howe and Gerry Hamilton sat down with new Texas Longhorns head coach Sean Miller for an in-depth, wide-ranging interview. With his first season at Texas about to tip off, Miller laid out his philosophy, roster insights, and expectations for the journey ahead. Building the Foundation: Miller stressed the importance of pace, detail, and defense. His offense will emphasize fast execution—not just quick shots—while the defense starts with a strong man-to-man foundation. The key this season? Don't try to do everything at once—get really good at the essentials first. Analytics Meets Instinct: Miller explained how modern analytics help him identify the best lineups, balance offense and defense, and “fix leaks” when certain combinations don't work. But he still leans on instinct and proven coaching principles to guide decisions. The SEC Challenge: Miller called the SEC “the best conference in college basketball”—loaded with athleticism, physicality, and elite coaching. He compared it to the old Big East but with more speed and defensive playmakers. Scheduling & Growth: Balance is everything. Facing Duke, Maui's gauntlet, and true road games will harden the team, but Miller said November and December aren't the measuring stick. His goal is for Texas to peak in February and March when it matters most. The interview wrapped with Miller's vision: this year is about building steadily, maximizing depth, and molding a team that fans will love to watch because the whole will be greater than the sum of its parts. Season tips off November 4th vs. Duke—and the Miller era begins!

There are certain Saturdays that feel like they were built for college football: the lights, the noise, the choreography of a crowd that feels like it's part of the playbook.

On Saturday night, Todd will have the best seat in the house as he broadcasts the Oregon v Penn State game in Happy Valley during the Nittany Lions annual White Out.We dive into what it is like to broadcast a White Out, the match-ups he is looking forward to seeing play out and analyze both Drew Allar and Dante Moore.Todd shared the origin of his own career and how there is a unique connection between the start of his illustrious career and the famed White Out. He also shared how he prepares for a game like this, as he has known for months that NBC and his crew would be on the call.He also shared his truth on what Drew Allar needs to do in this environment and what this top 6 match-up will come down to.I've known Todd since he was calling Big East games back when I was playing and he's been a constant source of inspiration and support since we met in the early 2000s. Be sure to tune into the White Out this Saturday night as this rematch of the Big Ten Championship game from last season may be a classic.
