Jimmer Range

The Jimmer Range Podcast is back, this time previewing Big Ten Basketball ahead of the 2024-25 college basketball season. Let's be honest, this conference is going to be an absolute mess, as it often is. What can we expect from Purdue minus two-time NPOY Zach Edey? Is this a make or break year for Mike Woodson at Indiana? Can Steve Pikiell maximize the elite talent of Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey?...

The Jimmer Range boys are back for Season 4! We're practically back from the dead considering each of us were drowning in work and failed to get an episode uploaded for the entirety of the 2023-24 college basketball season. We recorded four of them, but none of them were posted anywhere. They'll remain in the Jimmer Range Vault forever. This year, Karl and Alex are back in full force. Our preseaso...

Oh no! Oh yes! Jimmer Range is back to start wrapping up the 2022-23 college basketball season! Greg Waddell of Sleepers Media and the Field of 68 joins the show for the second time. He talks about his experience at the 2023 Final Four. UConn won their fifth title – does that make them a blue blood? We then discuss some of the latest transfer news around Michigan Basketball with Caleb Love in and...

Oh no! Oh yes! Jimmer Range is back to preview the Final Four of the 2023 NCAA Tournament! Alex is back from Sacramento, the land of giant purple beams. Florida Atlantic, San Diego State, UConn, and Miami form this year’s Final Four. We give our thoughts on each team and talk about how we got here. Is Florida Atlantic in position to be the next Gonzaga? Why do people hate on this Final Four so muc...

Oh no! Oh yes! Jimmer Range is back to recap the first weekend of the 2023 NCAA Tournament! Alex could not join for this episode because he’s getting some well-earned R&R after covering the tournament games in Sacramento. Friend of the program Ryan Hammer joins, and it’s always fun to have him on! We go through region by region and offer thoughts on how March Madness has gone so far. How did F...

Oh no! Oh yes! Jimmer Range is back for a full preview of the 2023 NCAA Tournament! We certainly expect plenty of madness this year given the overall quality of this year’s tournament field. What is the blueprint to taking out Alabama? Is Houston the team of destiny? Which teams are uniquely equipped to go on Cinderella runs? Who are the most likely picks to get out of each region? We go through e...

Oh no! Oh yes! Jimmer Range is back and after Maryland and Northwestern’s respective wins, we own Purdue. Are the Boilermakers headed for an early March exit? Brandon Miller got himself into some hot water, and we give some thoughts even though it’s been talked to death. Will the outside pressure get to Alabama? We also discuss new George Washington University nicknames, Caitlin Clark, and random...

Oh no! Oh yes! Jimmer Range is back and taking stock of the college basketball landscape with only a month until Selection Sunday. It seems like whenever one team starts to gain some momentum and hype, they take a devastating loss. Just ask Alabama, Purdue, Houston, Tennessee, Arizona, or really anyone. Everyone is good until nobody is. We also look at some of the surprises of this season and ask...

Oh no! Oh yes! Jimmer Range is back for our first episode of 2023! Chris Beard was fired by Texas (RIP BOZO) so we give some brief thoughts on that situation. Kentucky has been going through a rough patch lately. Could Coach Cal be headed out the door? The majority of this episode is a 16-round midseason draft of players and coaches. The rules are as follows: Each team must have a minimum of six n...

Oh no! Oh yes! Jimmer Range is back! In Episode 39, we give our most surprising and most disappointing college basketball teams entering 2023. Some of our darling teams have let us down so far, such as Tulane and Toledo. On the flip side, we’ve had our respective favorite Big Ten teams get off to surprisingly good starts. Is UNC starting to turn a corner? Are Queens, Southern Mississippi, and New...

Oh no! Oh yes! Jimmer Range is back! In Episode 38, we take a look around the college basketball landscape for new takeaways from the week’s action. UConn is laying waste to every team in their path. Meanwhile, Creighton is seriously struggling without Ryan Kalkbrenner and reliable shooting. Purdue looks really good, but is it possible Illinois is still the best team in the Big Ten? What should we...

Oh no! Oh yes! Jimmer Range is back! In Episode 37, we give our takeaways from an eventful Feast Week. The Maui Invitational produced one of the most loaded and competitive fields we’ve seen in a while. Every team, save for Louisville and Cincinnati, looked really good. The two PK85 brackets gave us a ton of great matchups, plus the fall of some blue blood programs in Duke, Villanova, and North Ca...

Oh no! Oh yes! Jimmer Range is back! In Episode 36, we take a look at some big results from the first two weeks of the college basketball season and give our takeaways. Texas absolutely slaughtered Gonzaga, so we have to talk about that. Duke and Kansas played a game that taught us a lot about both teams. We also give our levels of concern for programs like TCU and Florida State that have not play...

Oh no! Oh yes! Jimmer Range is back, but most importantly college basketball is back! The 2022-23 college basketball season is in full swing. No Top 25 teams suffered a loss this week, but we do have thoughts on some other upsets as well as some midmajor games. How can Louisville salvage their season? Are there any teams we have concerns about after just one game? Is the generally noncompetitive s...

Oh no! Oh yes! The Jimmer Range boys are continuing our preseason coverage with a preview of Big East Basketball for 2022-23. The Big East is poised for a very entertaining season. Creighton may be the new class of the conference, but Villanova may still contend even without Jay Wright. There’s two more teams in UConn and Xavier who have enough to make a run at the title. Is the hype for Creighton...

Oh no! Oh yes! The Jimmer Range boys are continuing our preseason coverage with a preview of Pac-12 Basketball for 2022-23. The Pac-12 has a few teams that will be interesting to follow, plus a lot that probably won’t be. The middle tier is full of teams with good rosters but questionable coaches or teams with bad rosters and good coaches (credit: Jim Root of 3MW), which will certainly contribute...

Oh no! Oh yes! The Jimmer Range boys are continuing our preseason coverage with a preview of SEC Basketball for 2022-23. The SEC truly has it all: teams that will be competitive on a national stage, NIT locks, and programs that are in shambles. The conference features a number of teams we can expect to see in the 2023 NCAA Tournament. Is Kentucky going to deliver this year? Can Eric Musselman be s...

Having won the last two national titles, the conference projects to send the majority of its members to the NCAA Tournament. I...

Oh no! Oh yes! The Jimmer Range boys are continuing our preseason coverage with a preview of Big Ten Basketball for 2022-23. No guest for this week, but hearing about the Big Ten from a Maryland fan and Northwestern fan should suffice. Mid, mid, and more mid. That seems to be the story of the Big Ten for 2022-23. Other than three contenders and a few definite basement-dwellers, it’s very up in the...
