The guys start the week live from The Old Spaghetti Factory, and the big headline is that it's a lot of good news for the University of Hawaii. Men's volleyball goes to the final four, softball does well, and baseball had one of the most historic performances in history of the program with Isaiah Magdaleno throwing a one-hit, 16 strikeout game on Friday night, earning him not only Big West pitcher of the week but D1 baseball player of the week. With all the success, the NIL bill is now on the table to vote that could benefit the athletics program at UH. What do you need to know about this week's vote? State representative Andrew Takuya Garrett joins the show to talk about the bill and what it involves. Also...a special mention to Kona Ice?

Nate Browne didn't grow up dreaming of becoming a Division I head coach. He grew up racing cousins in a church parking lot in Iowa. He chased a scholarship. He switched from the 400m to the 800m and found his event. He built All-American credentials.And then he walked into the business world.

For Women's History Month, we're highlighting someone whose story represents real strength. Our guest today is Jolie Robinson, a Division I track and field athlete at UC Irvine. Jolie is also a two-time Big West champion, a record-holding long jumper, a dedicated student, and a Mom. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stanford snatches a couple wins against No 7 BYU that could prove to me huge come MPSF Tournament time while celebrating Volleyball Day in the Bay.

Conference Tournament Week is here, and Scott and James are in their absolute element.

Then it's a whip-around through conference futures across the country, with everything from sensible picks to true-degenerate “five bucks and vibes” action.And because this is CrimsonCASH, the conversation also wanders into NBA tank-a-palooza parlays, Olympic curling scandal, the mystery of G League betting lines, and why a random game in Noblesville can still spark the gambler's soul.

UC San Diego vs. UC Irvine College Basketball Pick Prediction by Tony T. UC San Diego vs. UC Irvine Profiles UC San Diego at UC Irvine 10PM ET—UC San Diego has a mark of 18-9 overall along with 8-7 in the Big West with road losses against Cal Poly, Northridge and Hawaii. They won on the road against Long Beach St, Riverside, Bakersfield as well as UC Davis. UC Irvine is 17-9 with 10-4 in the Big West with home victories against Riverside, Northridge, Long Beach St, Hawaii, Bakersfield and Fullerton. No home losses in conference.

Northridge vs. Santa Barbara College Basketball Pick Prediction by Tony T. Northridge vs. Santa Barbara Profiles Northridge at Santa Barbara 9PM ET— Northridge is 16-10 overall along with 9-5 in the Big West with road losses against UC Irvine, UC Davis, Fullerton and Hawaii.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Thursday. Griffin Warner returned to the Pregame.com podcast network and the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a compact Thursday card, looking to build on a college basketball win with Tulane on February 11 and push for a second straight result. The slate featured a single English Premier League match, a Copa del Rey semifinal first leg, and a lighter than usual college basketball board, before closing with a best bet and promotional offer. The lone Premier League fixture sends Arsenal across London to face Brentford, with the visitors installed as three quarter goal favorites on the road. Arsenal sit atop the league conversation after consecutive second place finishes in recent seasons and are navigating domestic and European commitments, including the Premier League title race, the Champions League, the Carabao Cup, and an upcoming FA Cup tie. Manager Miguel Arteta has been reluctant to rotate heavily, and squad depth has been tested amid a crowded schedule. Brentford, meanwhile, have been strong at home, earning notable results against bigger sides and benefiting from not competing in Europe. The total is set at two and a half shaded to the over, reflecting Brentford's scoring ability against an Arsenal side that typically controls possession and limits shots. Arsenal generate significant production from set pieces, while Brentford employ a similar approach with long throws and structured restarts. Warner indicated interest in Brentford plus three quarters of a goal, preferring to wait for a potential move to plus one as public support flows toward the league leaders. In Spain, Barcelona visit Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals. The two leg format places added emphasis on home performance, with the return match set for Barcelona. Atletico are slight home underdogs at a quarter goal, while Barcelona are favored to advance at minus 252 compared with Atletico at plus 209. The total sits at three and a quarter shaded to the over, consistent with Barcelona's attacking profile and defensive vulnerabilities. Atletico have long projected as a third place side in Spain, guided by an experienced manager and bolstered by increased spending that has shifted them toward a more offensive identity. Warner noted that a strong first leg result is critical for Atletico given the difficulty of the return trip, and expressed measured interest in the home underdog while acknowledging the market respect shown toward Barcelona. The college basketball schedule opens with Kennesaw State hosting Middle Tennessee State, followed by Missouri Valley Conference action including Charleston laying a point to Hofstra and Southern Illinois favored by 12 over Evansville ahead of Arch Madness. Memphis at North Texas stands out as the marquee matchup, with Memphis a one point road favorite and a total of 136.5. North Texas sits outside the current American Conference tournament picture and would benefit significantly from a home win. Memphis have shown recent improvement with victories over UAB and FAU but have been inconsistent and thinner on talent. North Texas, under new leadership after Ross Hodge departed for West Virginia, continue to lean on defense and a deliberate pace. Warner expects tempo control from the home side in what profiles as a grind. Additional matchups include Oregon State catching eight and a half at San Francisco, Belmont laying five to Northern Iowa after Bradley's overtime win, and a series of Big West contests featuring Hawaii, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, UC Irvine, and others. The episode concluded with a promotional code, Jumper20, valid for 20 percent off purchases at Pregame.com through February 23, and a best bet on under 136.5 in Memphis at North Texas, anticipating a low scoring contest dictated by the Mean Green.

Tamara Inoue, UC Irvine's WBB head coach joins this week's episode of @Notevend2 . Inoue's run at UC Irvine is one of the most impressive turnarounds in college basketball.

She's now on pace to lead UCI to five straight 20+ win seasons, is already the all-time winningest coach in program history, and guided the program to a Big West Championship in 2023–24. This season, her team sits at 17–3, continuing a stretch of sustained success that few programs can match. A Big West Co-Coach of the Year (2020–21), she's steadily transformed the program from rebuild mode into a consistent conference contender. What started as a challenging rebuild has evolved into one of the most stable and respected programs in the Big West. UC Irvine is positioned to remain a force in the conference and beyond. The main goal remains to get back to the NCAA tournament for the second time in three years. Will they win the Big West?
