We are so close you can taste it. Final weekend of the regular season is here, even though there's postseason basketball happening all around us, and - oh yeah, by the way - Selection Sunday is just 10 days from now. Norlander and Hartzell opening the show reminiscing on the days of day-time hoops during their elementary school days. If you know, you know. Plenty to unpack from the midweek slate of hoops, including some heavy Miami RedHawks talk and the 'chaos machine' that is everyone in the Big 12 not named Arizona. Special guest Jeff Borzello from ESPN stops by to drop some absolute knowledge on everything going on (and a sneak peak at what's coming) with the college basketball coaching carousel. Things are busy and about to get a whole lot busier. If your team needs a head coach, this is the episode you need in your life because we let Borzello and Norlander absolutely cook for about 40 minutes and names and schools and it's a lot. Weekend preview at the end of the show includes the autobids getting handed out starting on Saturday night in the OVC. This is it, folks!
