Podcasts about Norlander

This is the second of five shows in our special offseason series on the 25 biggest men's basketball stories of the past 25 years. Norlander picks the stories for the list, Parrish reacts to the order and the guys chop it up from there. Producer Nata is adding some sound on this ep to transport you back to some of these stories and give them an added boost of nostalgia. Today's pod touches on one of the bigger scandals in college sports history, an unlikely star in the form of a nonagenarian nun, the two seasons that came thisclose to matching Indiana's undefeated run in 1976 — and more. If you're enjoying this series, email us at ShoutstoCBS@gmail.com and send in some of your favorite memories/events, no matter how big or small, and we may do a mini mailbag of sorts when we reach the end of this series later this summer.

Want one of your questions on a future episode? Email us: shoutstoCBS@gmail.com. On today's ep: A smorgasbord of listener questions, including: Which coach has the longest tenure without a Sweet 16? Will the college 3-point line move again? Which coach is most likely to use ChatGPT? Is Norlander the Ryan Reynolds of college sports podcasters? 16:24 - Norlander and GP 2025-26 CBB fantasy draft 26:05 - Longest-tenured coach to never make a Sweet 16? 30:43 - How many games should CBB's regular season be? 35:00 - Should AI or other tech replace the NCAAT selection committee? 40:00 - How fast can GP and Norlander run the mile? 48:44 - Will Matt Painter finish his career having beaten every NCAAT seed? 50:43 - Potential controversy: Does GP fake his accent on the podcast? 53:28 - Which coaches have met the most times in non-con play? 55:47 - How hot is Wes Miller's seat at Cincinnati? 1:00:00 - Was Bucky McMillan the most shocking high-major hiring of 2025? 1:03:23 - Should the college 3-point line be moved back AGAIN? 1:05:48 - Ranking the most expressive/emotional coaches in college hoops 1:10:28 - Listeners are curious: Whatever happened to Larnell, anyway?

UConn got a huge boost with the return of Alex Karaban on Tuesday. Huskies look top-10 good heading into next season, according Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander. Plus: How good is Duke's big portal get Cedric Coward? Will Brad Underwood's ploy to load up on Balkan-bred basketball players make Illinois a Final Four contender? Plus: How much is Shaquille O'Neal actually going to be doing at Sacramento State? There's two off-the-board convos as well. Naturally, Norlander and GP had to address the debate taking over the internet: would 100 men defeat a gorilla in do-or-die combat?

Special episode here! Before we get to all the portal talk, you'll notice a surprise intro. Longtime listeners are aware that one of Matt Norlander's all-time favorite bands is Guster. And after literal years of waiting, the pod has a new intro theme song. So, to commemorate this, Norlander invited on two Gusters to introduce the song. Entertaining and unhinged. We think you'll enjoy it. For the full/uncut version of their conversation, head here at our YouTube page to watch the 15-minute video. As for today's show topics: The transfer portal is closed for the 2025 cycle. And some schools picked up some BIG names. GP and Norlander recap the biggest movement in recent days and give an updated read on the top 25 teams. 00:00 - GUSTER ❤️ 03:16 - St. John's and Rick Pitino have a claim as the 2025 portal champs 15:00 - Can UConn compete with SJU if it loses Alex Karaban to the NBA Draft? 23:55 - Did PJ Haggerty overestimate his market before entering the portal? 38:18 - A look at Duke's roster situation after losing zero players to the portal 51:01 - Other portal news + notes and a look at Parrish's Top 25 And 1 

The Regular Season is OFFICIALLY over, but College Basketball hasn't gone into hibernation YET.

The Florida Gators are kings of college basketball after the dust settled on an all-time Final Four in San Antonio. We got Matt Norlander emptying the notebook on everything he saw, reported, and took in from the weekend (plus a bunch of stuff that didn't make it into the final edit - including some great behind-the-scenes nuggets at the Alamodome). Plenty of stuff on Florida's title, but also the Houston story, the Duke collapse, and the Auburn squad that ended up finishing a distant 4th in terms of storylines from the Final Four. There is a lot to get to, the guys run through it all in reverse chronological order, and we put a bow on the basketball season as only we can here on CSN - which means Norlander's recap of the Pit Bull & Lionel Richie shows he took in during the San Antonio trip!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

| Devotional by Adam Norlander (based on the book “40 Days of Decrease: A Different Kind of Hunger, A Different Kind of Fast” by Alicia Britt Chole) : Day Thirty / 40 Days Of Decrease Fast | Though having Self Confidence is a good attribute to have, “God Confidence” is our only hope. Allow the Holy Spirit to search your heart and guide you today as we fast self confidence.  

READ: Norlander on Jon Scheyer Folks, we have a historic Final Four. In fact, it's probably the best one ever. And to get into it, here's a treat: Parrish and Norlander were in studio together in Stamford, CT, to talk Sunday's games and set the table for San Antonio. Houston completed a wire-to-wire victory over Tennessee to punch its ticket, while Auburn fulfilled the prophecy to make its way to Texas well. 00:45 - Four 1s to the Four. How we feeling? 07:54 -Auburn outlasts Michigan State 70-64 24:00 - Houston punches ticket to Final Four, beats Tennessee 69-50 38:20 - Setting the table for the Final Four Eye on College Basketball is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever else you listen to podcasts.  Follow our team: @EyeonCBBPodcast @GaryParrishCBS @MattNorlander @Kyle_Boone @DavidWCobb @NataTheScribe Visit the betting arena on CBSSports.com for all the latest in sportsbook reviews and sportsbook promos for betting on college basketball.

Final Four in San Antonio is set, so let's talk about it. Norlander and Hartzell break down the weekend that was - including a Sweet 16 and Elite 8 recap from all four regions - plus a lookahead to what on paper could be the best set of Final Four games ... ever? The guys have a disagreement on whether or not Jon Scheyer has over-achieved in his first three years at Duke (Norlander says yes, Hartzell says no), and we have on-the-ground reporting from Newark over the weekend. Gators and Auburn did the things. Houston is a monster, and you knew it was going to end like this, Vols fans. Sorry that it had to happen in the Elite 8. Retirement watch in Knoxville? And speaking of coaches, Norlander empties the notebook on everything that went down with the messy split between Maryland and Kevin Willard. From Crab Five to coach-less and AD-less in the span of a week. Tough scene for the folks in College Park!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A very special Monday night edition of CSN recapping the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament because Norlander has been absolutely grinding over the coaching carousel and we had to push the show back a cool 10 hours. Yes, the carousel is at maximum capacity, but we're here to recap the actual games from Thursday - Sunday. There is audio of the Derik Queen buzzer-beater to break Colorado State hearts, and then we're off to the races. Hartzell has his list of top 8 games of the tournament so far. Norlander absolutely loses it recapping the Mick Cronin transcript from UCLA's loss to Tennessee, and oh so much more. Do we ever need to hear from Amir Khan again? Too bad because he'll be at the Final Four. Plus the NCAA court designs have actually gotten worse. This is content we're here for, people!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

| Devotional by JoLynn Norlander (based on the book “40 Days of Decrease: A Different Kind of Hunger, A Different Kind of Fast” by Alicia Britt Chole) : Day Sixteen / 40 Days Of Decrease Fast |   As we fast “Halo's” today, read into Luke 19. Sometimes we struggle to feel like we have to always be emotionally put together as Christ followers, but God tells us in His word that it is okay to feel our emotions. In fact, He says that those who weep are blessed by Him.  

| Devotional by Pastor Adam Norlander (based on the book “40 Days of Decrease: A Different Kind of Hunger, A Different Kind of Fast” by Alicia Britt Chole) : Day Twelve / 40 Days Of Decrease Fast | The heart of God is to be in relationship with us. Having a close christian community can be a great representation of this desire. While we fast “Isolation”, take some of your time out of the day to fellowship with others and spend time with the Lord.  

We have our bracket, the field is set, and now we're going to talk about it. Norlander and Hartzell spend an hour running through the teams, matchups, stories, gripes, complaints, snubs, you name it. Both guys are operating on very little rest but the bracket is out and we must respect the bracket. If you're not planning your week around games tipping at 12:15 ET on a Thursday afternoon then you need to do better, people. We made it, fam. It's Tournament time!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Norlander is in NYC covering the Big East. Hartzell is in Nashville covering the SEC. The torch is literally being passed from the old mecca to the new one on today's show, which is absolutely loaded because - I mean, have you SEEN the slate of games on deck today? The guys start in the ACC and talk about Cooper Flagg's injury and what it means for Duke, and from there it's a conference whiparound. Big East > SEC > Big 12 > Big Ten > MWC. Coaching carousel talk to wrap the show (because business there is about to pick up in a big way today). A lot to get to and not a ton of time, so the guys pack in all into a power-hour edition of CSN on the Friday of conference tournament week. Selection Sunday is two days away, people! This is not a drill!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Automatic bids are being handed out on a daily basis until we get to Selection Sunday in a mere 6 days. The next week is what this sport is all about, people. Gather 'round the speaker and turn us up so we can get you ready for everything you missed this weekend or need to know about going into this week. Hartzell has printed the internet.

Miami has their man, and with that the first official P5 job opening has been filled. How many more are coming, and how spicy is this season's coaching carousel going to be? Jeff Borzello of ESPN drops by for a heavy dose of coaching conjecture. What jobs aren't currently open but we suspect will be very soon? You'll have to tune in for the full scoop - which is ample. Norlander and Hartzell kick the show off gushing over Florida's win on the road at Alabama and Ole Miss' upset of Tennessee. Which bubble teams helped themselves so far this week (Texas, Xavier, Oklahoma), and which ones did not (Wake Forest)? A brief lookahead to the weekend which is loaded with regular season finales and some conference tournament autobids. Hurry up and get this in your system before Indiana State and Southern Illinois get going in the first round of the MVC because yes folks it's that time!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It is, in fact, March. Can confirm. Norlander and Hartzell are unpacking the weekend - including some buzzer beater audio in the SEC - plus who on the bubble did (Georgia) and did not (Arkansas) help themselves last time out. Special guest Andy Toole joins the program to talk about his Robert Morris squad embarking on the Horizon League tournament this week, plus his top-3 Bruce Springsteen albums. Coach Toole was bout that life growing up in New Jersey, which you'll hear all about during his 30-minute interview. What's on deck this week in terms of must-see hoops on TV, and some brief discussion on the jamband bracket, which is completed but needs some PR help before it goes public.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

So much to get to and we start with the buzzer beater in College Park. March is less than 48 hours away but with moments like that, it feels like we're already there. A quick run through the weeknight results of note, including more jockeying in the SEC, which Norlander doesn't think is going to get to 13 NCAAT bids because he's a hater. We clear the runway for John Fanta who stops by to discuss - among other things - St John's atop the Big East, why he chose to attend Seton Hall as an undergrad, the biggest pet peeves about college basketball coverage this time of year, his list of legitimate national championship contenders, and who the Browns should take at 2 in the upcoming NFL Draft. A real tour-de-force performance from Fanta, it should be said. Norlander & Hartzell run through the must-see TV games on deck this weekend, which is a solid A- slate according to the fellas. Let's enjoy the games, March is coming!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The upsets continue as the calendar creeps up on March. Georgia etched a big win to help their NCAA case, but Norlander's got 'em still out. How many bids for the SEC, we think? In the Big 12, Iowa State and Baylor took losses that will stain. Plus: Duke's injury situation could get worse, Louisville and Clemson are still in the ACC chase, and a good night for Gonzaga and San Diego State. 00:44 - Georgia knocks off No. 3 Florida 88 - 83 12:17 - SEC Whiparound -- Alabama houses Mississippi State; Tennessee handles business vs. LSU; Missouri gets the job done vs. South Carolina 17:46 - Stay Or Hit presented by Chumba Casino 23:07 - ACC Whiparound -- Duke obliterates Miami; Louisville survives a test vs. Virginia Tech 33:15 - Big 12 Whiparound -- Iowa State, Baylor notch bad losses 38:25 - Gonzaga, SDSU win after 1 a.m. ET 44:05 - Wednesday and Thursday Games to Know Eye on College Basketball is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever else you listen to podcasts.  Follow our team: @EyeonCBBPodcast @GaryParrishCBS @MattNorlander @Kyle_Boone @DavidWCobb @NataTheScribe Visit the betting arena on CBSSports.com for all the latest in sportsbook reviews and sportsbook promos for betting on college basketball.

Don't let the title fool you, Hartzell chimes in as well ... but the headline here is we're unveiling these lists because we got one week left in February, people. March is coming. Time to strap in and get ready for the thrill ride that is postseason hoops because it's knocking at the door. Plenty to get to from the weekend, most notably the five upsets of ranked teams losing to unranked teams on Saturday. The three contests that Norlander took in over three days were all double-digit margins - including the all-time worst loss in the history of Illinois basketball - so the fellas spend most of their time hopping around everything else that went down over the weekend. In addition to the lists of Natty contenders and Final Four darkhorses, we have an official wager that is placed between Hartzell and Norlander on the NCAA Tournament. And if that's not bad enough, wait 'til you hear Norlander's Led Zeppelin takes!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The final weekend of February provided a lot of results that will tee up March in dramatic ways. Michigan State took a foothold in the Big Ten regular-season title race.

If you've been living under a rock for the last couple of weeks, you might not be aware that college basketball is absolutely thriving in the mecca of NYC these days. St Johns has reeled off 9 in a row after an impressive W at the Garden against Marquette and are starting down a showdown at UConn Friday night.

Plus Mike DeCourcy from The Sporting News drops by to talk NPOY races, and how Flagg vs Broome stacks up against some of the more recent (last 40 years) notable contests.

Weekend recap episode on deck with Norlander & Hartzell running through all the notable results from college basketball, with an emphasis on Houston's 2OT win at Kansas. Coogs have reeled off 12 straight wins and had to work for it on Saturday at the Phog. Of course Kansas is to blame for their part in blowing a 6-point lead with less than 30 seconds to go, but plenty to discuss from one of the games of the year in hoops so far this season. Also 7lots of talk on Auburn's win over Tennessee. Hartzell has an absurd Johni Broome take that rightfully gets dismissed by Norlander. Another loaded weekend of results in the SEC, plus another UConn loss, Duke gets it done on the road at Wake, and - oh yeah - Green Bay lost again. Now Spinning at the end of the show takes us back to Bonnaroo where the headliners have fallen from the glory days of 20 years ago (and for the low low price of $26K you, too, can be a 'Roo Insider)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There's a LOT going on today. MLK Day, Presidential Inauguration, CFP National Championship, and - you guessed it - beaucoup college basketball reaction! We got Matt Norlander back in the chair to break down the happenings from this past weekend, starting with a gauge on the Big Ten hoops scene; the good (Michigan State), the bad (Mick Cronin's press conferences), and the ugly (Indiana's soon-to-be head coaching search). ACC was spicy on Saturday, including UNC's embarrassing home loss, SMU's beatdown, and a huge next couple of weeks for the Deacs. SEC, Big East, and Big 12 are also covered, plus whatever is happening in Spokane with a Zags team that is coming off an 0-2 week. There are official CFP score predictions for tonight's big game in Atlanta, which Hartzell doesn't think is going to be very competitive, and Norlander has a bold prediction on the winner (and the score).

What an upset-riddled Saturday. Expect a heavy reshuffling of the AP Top 25 come Monday. How much impact does a weekend liek this have?

A wise man once said 'how can you know where you're going if you don't know where you're from'. Today's episode - our first college hoops show of the season - is where we're from, and for the next three months (as the season plays out, culminating with the Final Four in San Antonio) is where we're going. So who better to assist with the ride than our in-house hoops insider Matt Norlander from CBS Sports, who joins Hartzell for 80 minutes of (mostly) basketball dialogue. We're coming off a monster weekend of hoops, highlighted by Cooper Flagg dropping 42 and making ACC freshman history in the process, Auburn might be without their best player - and NPOY front-runner (according to Norlander) - for a couple of weeks, plus lots of talk on the mighty SEC which is having a staggering hoops season in terms of quality - and quantity. Don't worry the football shows aren't over yet, but we got plenty to discuss in the inaugural college basketball show of the season, plus the first 'Now Spinning' of the new year for all the music heads!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
