Covering important stories on NCAA Division One men's basketball. Not only can you expect great coverage from November through the conference season, but I dive into the key games worth talking about and where to watch/listen/stream. It all leads up to March, when 68 schools find out when their name will be called on Selection Sunday. Once the tournament is over in early April, check back for some hot topics during the off-season. If you're looking for a podcast that is honest and hard nosed, you have come to the right place. Also, I’m looking for some advertisers to help me out.

108. Oakland KO’s Kentucky
A 14 seed has knocked out a 3. Kentucky has won only one tournament game since 2019. John Calipari has upwards of a $30 million buyout, so what will happen in the weeks to come? Instead, let’s all congratulate 40 year old head coach Greg Kampe. As Jack Gohlke told Evan Washburn, “We’re not a Cinderella.”
