They discuss the impact of the San Antonio game on the NBA landscape, particularly focusing on the standout performance of Victor Wembanyama and the challenges faced by the Charlotte Hornets. The conversation also covers the dynamics of college basketball, the NFL offseason, and the intriguing future of players like Aaron Rodgers and Stefon Diggs. Tune in for an informative and entertaining breakdown of the latest in sports!

RUNDOWN   Mitch opens the show from Los Angeles, where he's in town to watch Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs play the Clippers—but not before attending a Division II baseball series featuring players who grew up with his sons. The conversation shifts to March Madness, with Mitch explaining why he believes the top teams—especially from the Big 12—are clearly ahead of the rest of the field. The Seahawks No-Table crew breaks down a turbulent offseason following their Super Bowl win. The trio discusses key departures in free agency, the team's deliberate approach to the salary cap, and why Seattle may rely on player development and the draft rather than splashy signings. Mitch talks with Tennessee State head coach Nolan Smith after the former Duke All-American and national champion led the Tigers to an Ohio Valley Conference title and an NCAA Tournament berth in his first year running the program. Smith reflects on learning the coaching profession under Mike Krzyzewski, navigating career setbacks after leaving Duke, and how those experiences shaped him as a leader. Mitch and Queens University head coach Grant Leonard talk after the Charlotte-based Royals captured the Atlantic Sun title and punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament in their first season eligible for Division I postseason play. Leonard explains how a balanced offense—with six players averaging double figures—helped fuel the run, while also discussing the reality of roster building in the transfer portal era. Mitch welcomes back North Dakota State head coach Dave Richman, whose Bison are headed to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time under his leadership after another Summit League title and a 27-win season. Richman talks about balancing loyalty to Fargo with the reality that successful mid-major coaches are constantly linked to bigger jobs, while also explaining how roster building has changed in the portal and NIL era. Mitch talks with Troy head coach Scott Cross after the Sun Belt regular-season and tournament champion Trojans earned their second straight NCAA Tournament berth. Cross explains how he rebuilt the roster after losing several starters to bigger NIL deals by promoting reserves who helped the program reach last year's tournament.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Former University of Washington point guard and longtime Huskies basketball radio analyst Jacson Bevens | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Nolan Smith | head coach, Tennessee State Grant Leonard | head coach, Queens University Dave Richman | head coach, North Dakota State Scott Cross | head coach, Troy   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Division II Baseball, March Madness Picks, and the Birthday Game 19:00 | Seahawks No-Table: Seattle's Super Bowl roster takes offseason hits, but the Seahawks' front office stays committed to long-term roster building instead of panic spending. 45:35 | Nolan Smith: Former Duke star Nolan Smith takes Tennessee State to the NCAA Tournament in his first season as a head coach. 1:02:09 | Grant Leonard: Queens University shocks the Atlantic Sun and reaches the NCAA Tournament in its first year of Division I eligibility. 1:15:24 | Dave Richman: North Dakota State coach Dave Richman returns to the NCAA Tournament—and reflects on building a winning program in Fargo during college basketball's NIL and transfer-portal era. 1:33:42 | Scott Cross: Troy head coach Scott Cross returns to the NCAA Tournament with a roster built on loyalty, development—and an unlikely pipeline from Puyallup, Washington.

Munaf Manji talks betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji opened Thursday's Cash That Ticket podcast with a recap of a dramatic win on the Knicks, who fell behind Utah by 15 after one quarter before roaring back to cover as 13.5 point favorites. New York outscored the Jazz 108 to 76 over the final three quarters and won 134 to 117, giving Manji a best bet winner. Uncle Dave was less fortunate, as Montana led at halftime but could not hold on late. Through the week, the pair stood at 3 and 1 on best bets. Manji also ran through Wednesday's other NBA results, including Orlando's 128 to 122 win over Cleveland, Denver's 129 to 93 blowout of Houston, and the Clippers' 153 to 128 victory over Minnesota behind 45 points from Kawhi Leonard. Turning to Thursday's card, Manji focused first on Denver at San Antonio. Despite the Nuggets playing the second leg of a back to back, he noted their starters logged modest minutes in the win over Houston, which should help on the quick turnaround. Even so, he leaned Spurs minus 5.5, provided Victor Wembanyama suits up, citing San Antonio's recent form on both ends of the floor. Over the last 10 games, he said the Spurs ranked fourth in offensive efficiency, fifth in defensive rating, and owned the league's second best net rating. He also liked the Spurs team total over 122.5. In Boston at Oklahoma City, Manji saw value with the Celtics plus 6.5. He pointed to Boston's consistency, strong road record, and defensive profile, while also noting that Oklahoma City had been just 10 and 11 against the spread in non conference games. He expected Boston to have enough defensive options to make life difficult for Shai Gilgeous Alexander and keep the game tight. Still, he stopped short of making it an official best bet because Jayson Tatum and Derrick White were listed as questionable. In Milwaukee at Miami, Manji liked the over 234.5 and made it his best bet. His reasoning centered on Miami's pace and Milwaukee's defensive struggles. He noted that the Heat have played fast all season and ranked second in pace over the last 10 games while sitting third in offensive efficiency over that span. The Bucks, meanwhile, had slipped badly on defense, ranking among the league's worst recent units and allowing 129 or more points in three of their last four games. He said that trend made both the full game over and the Heat team total attractive looks. Uncle Dave's best bet for Thursday came from college basketball, with Houston minus 10 against BYU. Manji added that he also liked the Cougars team total over, pointing to the rest advantage and Houston's typical strength in March under Kelvin Sampson. He closed by highlighting Pregame's March Badness 2026 contest, a free college basketball contest running through the national title game, and reminded listeners about a 20 percent discount code for Pregame subscriptions. His final card featured Spurs minus 5.5 and Spurs team total over 122.5 as leans, Celtics plus 6.5 as a conditional look, Houston minus 10 as Uncle Dave's best bet, and Bucks Heat over 234.5 as his official play.
