Send us a textDuke vs Houston and Florida vs Auburn - this Final Four may be chalk with all top seeds, but our basketball roundtable delivers bold predictions and passionate debates about who's cutting down the nets in San Antonio.Our panel of coaches, broadcasters and basketball lifers tackle the burning questions: Is Duke's Cooper Flagg truly the greatest freshman in college basketball history? Does Houston's top-ranked defense give them the edge over Duke's offensive firepower? Which coach among the Final Four has the advantage? And who ultimately wins it all?The conversation takes a fascinating detour when Coach Mike Worrell shares the remarkable story of coaching Jacob Tucker, the 5'10" Division III player who shocked the basketball world by winning the 2011 NCAA Slam Dunk Championship. From viral YouTube sensation to meeting NBA legends and being mobbed for autographs, it's a reminder of how March Madness creates unforgettable moments.The group also examines how dramatically college basketball has changed in the NIL era. With players and coaches constantly moving between programs, could any modern coach ever reach the legendary status of figures like Wooden, Knight or Coach K? As one panelist puts it bluntly: "There's no loyalty anymore on any level - players, coaches, administrators."Whether you're filling out your bracket or just love college hoops, this basketball conversation is packed with insights, stories and predictions from those who've lived the game at every level. Tune in to hear who our experts believe will be the last team standing when the confetti falls Monday night.Basketball experts gather for our annual Final Four roundtable to break down the matchups and predict who will cut down the nets in San Antonio this weekenSubscribe for exclusive content: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1530455/support Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEReaper Apparel Reaper Apparel Co was built for those who refuse to die slowly!

On Tuesday's show: A new statewide health care poll finds nearly two thirds of Texans are skipping or postponing care because it costs too much. We discuss that and other findings from the Episcopal Health Foundation's annual poll on health care access and affordability.Also this hour: Does Houston get snubbed? We certainly host our share of big events, but when it comes to popular culture -- films, television, concerts -- why is Houston sometimes bypassed? We revisit our conversation about that subject from last year.Then, author Clint Smith talks about how Hurricane Katrina forced him to relocate from his home in New Orleans to Houston and how that experience shaped him as a writer. And he talks about his award-winning book, How the Word Is Passed, which examined historical sites across the country and how they do -- and often do not -- reckon with our nation's history of slavery. Smith speaks in Houston March 18 at a fundraising event for The Jung Center of Houston.And we talk with comedian Russell Howard ahead of his March 18 show in Houston.

Is moving Altuve to the Outfield a bad idea? Did Bregman make a mistake not taking the Astros offer 6yr/$156m? Will Dana Brown budge on Bregman deal? Is Jim Crane becoming more like Jerry Jones caring more about splash than letting his front office work? Does Houston want Bregman back?

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) preview the slate of the year in this weekend's Divisional Round, beginning with Texans/Chiefs. Does Houston have a chance, and is Kansas City ready to play its best football? With Bills/Ravens they ponder if it will be a shootout or a slog. No such pondering is necessary with guaranteed shootout Washington/Detroit, so the guys focus in on the best DFS plays, including in Detroit's backfield. For Rams/Eagles, Pat attempts to make the L.A. upset case as the guys debate Sean McVay's place in the current coaching pantheon. All along the way they focus on DFS plays and teams' potential avenues to victory.

Jeremiah, Grant, and Kaim are back to discuss how this season is looking around 20% of the way through the season. In the first half, they discuss the Beard being traded to the Clippers and the subsequent ascension of the 76ers and plummet of the Clippers. Addition by Subtraction? Has Tyrese Maxey established himself as a top-5 guard in this league? If it's the 4th quarter…Will Batum be in? Will Harden and Russell Westbrook coexist on the West Coast? We shall see. The boys dive deep into their NBA Knowledge and by the end of the half, you'll know who Filip Petrusev is too!Over halftime, the 3 in the Key crew discusses Tristan Thompson's viral quote regarding his cheating on reality tv star Khloe Kardashian. Tristan says he feels disgusting after such acts - do the boys see where he's coming from? Khloe asks, “Why do you do it again?” and we try to figure out the answer to that very question. Is cheating the end of any relationship or can things be patched up? 3 in the Key gives their perspective.We finish off with a halftime highlighting one of the league's biggest surprises in this young season - the Houston Rockets. The Rockets are on track to be a playoff team, boasting a top 5 defense in the NBA so far. The Ime Udoka effect at work - we wonder if Udoka affects Houston's off-the-court culture as much as he impacts it on-the-court. Does Houston have a championship core brewing? Harden's favorite city seems to be moving on without him and time will tell how far they'll go.We love ya'll! And remember - everything is hoops.Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@3InTheKeyFollow on Spotify: https://shorturl.at/ACNX2Follow on Amazon Music/Audible: https://shorturl.at/lyAOV

On Thursday's show: We discuss a recent rise in COVID cases locally and whether there's any cause for concern. And the team from Needville won an extra-inning thriller to advance to the U.S. championship game in the Little League World Series. Their head coach, Andy McRae, tells us about the game and about how the kids are navigating the experience of playing on such a stage. Also this hour: Does Houston have a role to play in future debate over nuclear power and disarmament? We talk with a local history professor and with the producer of In Search of Resolution, a documentary examining the continuing dangers posed by the existence of nuclear weapons, which airs Aug. 30 at 10 p.m. on Houston Public Media, TV 8. Then, at first, the new film Jules may seem like a breezy comedy about an alien visiting a senior citizen. But it raises some compelling questions about aging parents, independence, and dignity. The movie and those issues are the subject of this month's edition of The Bigger Picture. And we hear the muisc of the Magnolia City Brass Band ahead of a concert on Saturday featuring works by Houston composer William R. Brusick.

Does Houston have a problem? With dating, that is. Well this week, we'll find out! We have guest Amy joining us sharing her experiences living and dating in this southern city. Despite her parents meeting in Houston, Amy shares her culture shock moving from a more liberal city in Ohio down to this more conservative area who's biggest event of the year is the rodeo. She learns that everyone, even transplants, take on a "Texas Forever," type of mentality, and there is a strong focus on relationships over hook-up culture. With that, some of the men who are born and raised in the area take on the role of a true Southern gentleman, which can actually lead to trouble in relationships. Though Houston is a diverse city, attracting a mix of intellectuals who like to hunt, Amy also shares dating horror stories with some men who did not have some Southern charm - including an ex co-worker with some racist tendencies.   Find us on Instagram: @swipeeastswipewest Find us on TikTok: @ashdavi_ Like what you hear?

It’s been several months, but it looks like the MLS Is Back tournament is FINALLY set to kick off in less than 24 hours. Unless you play for FC Dallas. Or maybe Nashville SC. Or one-fifth of the Vancouver Whitecaps. Or 2019 MLS Defender of the Year Ike Opara. Or, as we learned this week, reigning MLS MVP Carlos Vela of LAFC. But other than those players (and a handful of others…), MLS Is Back! Before the breakdown of the beginning of the tournament, it’s time to introduce the Defenders world to our brand-new member! Scarf likes to refer to him as Director of Arts and Crafts, but, really, the talent that Dexter Quinn brings to the table as our right-hand man on all things artistic is incredible. We are so happy to have Dexter on our team, and, as you can see from some of our most recent posts on social media, the guy is good! We also take a minute to try our best at appreciating the great talents of Vince La Rosa. We wish all the best to Vince on whatever he does next, can’t wait to see him absolutely crush it in his next endeavor, and look forward to our next glass raised together. #HireVince As we continue to celebrate Pablo Sisniega’s birthday, we delve into This Day In LAFC History, where we get BOTH a Rant With Filly and a prediction from Scarfstrodamus! What a segment! Here’s to many, many goals from Brian Rodriguez. LAFC also officially welcomes Andy Najar, courtesy of a brand new, 48-hour transfer window that ended July 7th! We explore roster options for LAFC during the COVID Cup, fresh off the revelation by Bob Bradley that Dio, BWP, and Andy Najar are all not ready to go a full 90. Will that mean more of LMU’s finest, Adrien Perez? Or will Latif Blessing reprise his role as striker? Does that mean more Cifu or Pancho? More importantly, is there any team in MLS deeper and more talented than the Black and Gold? We break down all three matches in LAFC’s Group Stage, including some predictions for our showdown with Carson on July 18. Does Houston pose more of a threat than we think, with a healthy Alberth Elis and others? What does two times the Chara mean for Portland? Will Chicharito record a shot-on-goal? In a rare feat, Filly and The Scarf find a way to work in “Three Umlauts” Niko Hämäläinen, our first-ever signing, Carlos Alvarez, and Inaugural Team member Nico Czornomaz all in the same episode! How excited is Filly for the COVID Cup? Why is Scarf fanboying over Johnny Hekker again? And who do the Defenders think will win each of the groups in the tournament? Tune in to Episode 104 to find out! Stay safe and healthy everyone!

At RunnersConnect, we get a lot of questions about using pace groups in races.  While we teach about how you should run your own race, there is something undeniably beneficial about running with a group.  It's been proven that being a part of a group with the same goal lowers your own perception of effort which makes running hard feel easier.   And the idea of just blindly trusting a group and letting go of the mental math that you have to do when you pace yourself, is unbelievably tempting.   On the other hand, after months or even years of training, do you really want to risk your race by following strangers?    So to answer this question, we sought out Rick Powell. Rick paced the last chance opportunity for women to qualify for the Olympic Trials in Houston this past January.   Rick Powell is a 31 year old Texan, originally from South Africa, a former marine and a current lawyer.  He has a personal best of 2:29 in the marathon and had the task of bringing in the group of women qualifying for the B standard under 2 hours and 45 minutes.   As you will hear in this interview, Rick is about as calm and collected as can be, which in my opinion is EXACTLY what you want in a pacer.  He talks not only about the specifics of pacing this important race in Houston, where he helped 17 women cross the line with an OTQ, but what pacing is like in general.  We go over strategy, what to ask your pacer before the race, and what pros and cons there are to pace groups.   If you've ever wondered about whether using a pace group can help you or hinder you, you'll have a better idea at the end of this episode.   Questions Rick is asked:   3:07 How did you end up pacing the 2:45 group of women at Houston, which was the last opportunity to qualify for the Olympic Trials? 5:17 What was it like on the day, and why don’t you like running Houston? 7:01 How was your buildup and training different from racing for yourself? 10:54 What pace strategy did you use in Houston? 12:38 What kind of questions did your pace group ask you before or during the race? 15:56 Were you running at a pace where you could communicate comfortably with them? 18:00 Is it acceptable to ask your pacer, “What’s your PR?”? 21:49 Should runners avoid pacers who are looking to positive-split a race? 23:38 Should runners audit the pacer with their own watches? 26:21 What was your finishing time? 27:24 Does Houston use gun-time or chip-time? 28:52 What are the pros and cons of pace groups? 33:21 What advice would you give for people who want to be a pacer? 35:39 Are you going to sign up again for this year? 37:28 What advice would you give yourself back when you started running? 35:48 What is the best gift running has given you? 37:18 How can people connect with you? Quotes by Rick:   “Taking the pressure off of me doing well and putting it on, ‘well, I have to help these women get there time and I have a job to do.’ I didn’t have time to think how good or bad a day it was.”   “You don’t want a pacer who’s like, ‘well… I’ve never actually run that time before, but I’m gonna go for it.’”   “Important things to ask the pacer are: What is your plan? How will I find you? Have you run this course before?”   “If you’ve not run the course before, I don’t trust you. I’m sorry; I just don’t.”   “The pack CAN push the pacer, which is another thing to be concerned about.”   “The more people you get together in the same mind set, the same common goal, the easier it is. It’s that pack mentality where if you’re all working together, you all will thrive.”   “Having a pacer or being in a pace group is a good indicator of where you are. If you've talked to the pacer beforehand and you know their strategy and their pacing and you know more or less where they want to be at certain mile-markers, it’s a good red-line marker.”   Want more awesome interviews and advice?
