Great podcast but why do you talk about truck stops so much?

Love the analysis and using the wide scoop stats to hone in on the minutia of basketball. But why do you almost never talk about west coast juggernauts like UCLA and Arizona or anyone in the Pac-12 who consistently over preform other big conferences (look at KenPom this year vs who is on the “Bubble”) and talk about trash B1G, ACC, and Big East teams constantly. I’m an obvious homer but would love some dives into Cronin teams and why they work vs more at lease seemingly “analytically focused” teams like Alabama and Houston.

Good insight

Jordan looks at a coaches perspective of the game, must listen to for Hoops fans.

Not great for youth coaches
