    Upon Further Review: Are the top teams bubble-proof or bubble-fragile?

    Hosts Jim Connelly (@jimmyconnelly), Derek Schooley (@derekschooley), and Ed Trefzger (@EdTrefzger) look at sometimes controversial or overlooked topics in our midweek episode called Upon Further Review. Teams near the top of the NPI are still not 100% in the NCAA tournament, though many are close. We look at the NPI and discuss which teams near the top are bubble-proof, bubble-steady, bubble-fragile ... or on life support.

    A big Big Ten weekend, looking at NPI movement since the start of the year

    Hosts Jim Connelly (@jimmyconnelly), Derek Schooley (@derekschooley), and Ed Trefzger (@EdTrefzger) review games of the weekend and news of the past week. Michigan and Michigan State each had five-point weekends to keep pace in the Big Ten – including an OT win for the Spartans over Penn State at a spectacular outdoor game at Beaver Stadium – while Wisconsin's losing streak reached six. Denver rebounded against Minnesota Duluth, while Dartmouth returned to winning ways and Boston College took the 299th Battle of Commonwealth Avenue over Boston University. We also look how leagues have shifted overall in the NPI and at individual teams that have moved up the most. This episode is sponsored by the NCAA Men's Frozen Four, April 9 and 11 in Las Vegas.
