    #308: Pac 12 Season Review

    It's a league on the brink, but the Pac 12 is still the beloved Conference of Champions in the eyes of all...
    We dissect it rigorously but with clear eyes and full hearts, hopeful that our beloved Beavers will finally, maybe, possibly, be ok this season.

    #307: Draft Deadline - Fallout

    #307: Draft Deadline - Fallout

    A wild May 31 NBA Draft deadline brought some shocking decisions. Several likely selections (Shannon! Bona! EDEY!!) returned to the college ranks, while more fringe prospects opted to leave school (Powell? Audige?). We dug into a ton of the more surprising choices, breaking down the impact on the 2023-24 season.
    Winners (FAU!) and losers (Big Blue Nation, frowny face) emerged, as well, and we gave a shout to the teams that ended up faring best (or worst) on a huge day for college hoops. 
    To close it out, each Weaver gave his Top 5 as of June 1st!

    #306: Big 12 Season Review

    Our season review series marches on with the Big 12! An annual powerhouse of a league, the Big 12 was once again the nation's top conference per KenPom. But the Final Four did not feature a Big 12 squad for the first time since 2017. Down year? Is it still Kansas' sandbox? And how will the four newcomers change the landscape next season? 
    Plus, we go through each individual team's 2022-23 year and diagnose the future outlook, laughing at any poor preseason takes along the way...

Great Podcast

Just wanted to let you guys know how great content has been. Clearly the best in the college basketball space. I’m a fellow St. Louisan and currently attend Wisconsin so there’s some overlap there. Don’t know if it was fully said how huge of a commitment Freitag is for Wisconsin (who happened to be the #1 football recruit in Minnesota too). He’s our highest guard recruit in program history and highest overall recruit in the Gard era. The Badger Minnesota pipeline seems like the only thing we can recruit, but they’re now all in on borderline 5 star Kon Knueppel from Milwaukee. Freitag and Yalden will be a fearsome tandem for years.

Also, you guys neglected to mention the very real possibility that UCLA might add Aday Mara a young 7 foot Spanish Phenom. Would easily be the best shot blocker in the Pac-12 next year and could be Pac-12 player of the year good.

Best MTE Ever?

The 2023 Maui field, per the Fo68 composite, includes #1 Kansas, #3 Purdue, #6 Marquette, #9 Tennessee, #11 Gonzaga, UCLA, & Syracuse. Would 5 top-11 teams be the best MTE field ever? Any idea how this stacks up to past MTE fields?

Learned So Much

Every time I listen to your guys podcast I learn something new about college basketball! You guys do a great job of talking about literally all 300+ teams in college basketball and I don’t know how you guys keep up with it all! Keep up the awesome work you have a fan for life. Also last year when you guys had one of Mike Boyton’s assistants on the podcast I thought that was AMAZING! Keep weaving!!!
