Mad About Hoops

And just like that the College Basketball season has come to an end. Florida is your champs over Houston. CB, Timmy, and Rhymetime break down the title game and the Final Four. How was Florida able to come from behind and beat Houston? Was this the best Final Four ever? We also look ahead at the offseason and the transfer portal. Who could be at the top in Way-Too-Early Rankings? The Ohio State Ba...

The Final Four is set and it's all chalk! All four 1 seeds meet in San Antonio all with great opportunities to cut down the nets.

We are single digit days away from Selection Sunday, and we've gotten ourselves a good appetizer for the NCAA Tournament with the week it's been in the Conference Tournaments.

March is here! The long journey of this season has led us to the madness that is this month. Timmy Hall and Jacob Rhymer with you for this pod starting things out by remembering Gene Hackman, aka Norman Dale, with his legendary work in the great movie "Hoosiers".

Exactly one month from today, we will have games being played in the NCAA Tournament, so lock into the pod and get ready for the madness. It's Timmy's birthday, so we begin the pod with the downfall of his Kansas Jayhawks after they dropped both games to the two Utah teams.

Xavier picks up a big win against Villanova and is entering a big stretch. Dayton is starting to fall after dropping three in a...

We are back just as conference play in College Basketball is starting to really heat up. The SEC has been dominating the sport. We did some buying or selling on a handful of teams in CBB on if they can get to the Final Four. Mick Cronin lights a fire under his guys, and Rhymetime gives a scorching hot take you'll want to listen for. Where do we stand on some of the teams in the Big Ten and if they...

The College Basketball season is in full throttle. Teams are settling in and we're getting a good idea of what teams can win this thing in April. We start out recapping the first month of the season. Feast Week was nothing short of amazing and delivered some incredible moments in the early part of the season. At the 12:00 minute mark we get into breaking down the defending back-to-back National Ch...

The season is over and UConn was dominant. There's a ton of fun conversations to have about what this mean's for UConn's status as a blue blood. I'm confused at how that is even in question. But we also start out by giving our genuine thanks to all of you fine listers for supporting this pet project of ours. We cover the game as professionals and are true fans at heart. It's cool to be both of tho...

The Road to the Final Four ends here. So who do we got? Is it the dominant teams like UConn and Purdue destined to meet on Monday night? Or can Alabama or NC State knock one of these juggernauts off their perch? We talk a lot of UConn vs Bama in segment 1 and at the 11:15 mark we get more into Purdue vs NC State and Evil Bald Colin will relentlessly go after Zach Edey again. At 23:40 we turn the d...

Can you believe this? In the first half of Sweet 16 games alone we saw Clemson knock off Arizona, and Alabama take down 1 seed North Carolina. Crazy. First segment we almost have a National Championship ceremony for UConn. Are we wrong? We'll still make them play it out. But my goodness they dusted SDSU. At the 10:48 mark we get into the Tar Heels' game. And Cormac Ryan kind of told us not to be c...

Let the CBS college basketball theme play in your head all day long. This is a 100 percent genuine Tournament podcast. We are kids in a candy shop. After glancing at Northwestern surviving Florida Atlantic we go to the game of the night on Thursday with Oakland downing Kentucky and what it means. Those Golden Grizzlies can play. Then around the 19 minute mark we turn the attention to Kansas vs Sam...

This region has Purdue in it folks. And when you're a Purdue fan, you know you have to brace for failure and disappointment. I know that because of my Purdue parents and 44 years of not going to the Final Four. They're a one seed for a second straight year and they have some making up to do from last year. Do we believe in them this time? Find out, and find out who we have cutting the nets down in...

If you were wondering, our nicknames for these regions mean absolutely nothing. Less than nothing. Although, the Top 5 seeds in this region all bowed out early in their conference tournament. So maybe we're on to something. This one is interesting because of lovable underdogs like Vermont and JMU. Do we get crazy here? Check it out as we break down the South.

That's kinda the ironic nickname for the region. You might notice that Evil Bald Colin and I couldn't even be in the studio together to do our next region breakdown. That's how it goes during March Madness. So here's how we see UConn's region going. What kind of trouble is facing the defending national champs? Do either of us have them being bounced before the Final Four? You should find out!

Jake Diebler news crashes our first Bracket Breakdown, but whatever! It's March Madness and crazy stuff is going on in college basketball. The full on West Region dissection starts at the 9:15 mark, and boy oh boy do I have a Sweet 16 sleeper waiting for you. Plus, we have a new employee here at the station and part of his training is to force him to jump on a college hoops podcast. Say hello to U...

Thanks to Terrence Shannon Jr. turning on the afterburners and some of the worst and most unpredictable Big Ten refereeing you will see in a big time game, the Buckeyes late surge to The Big Dance came up short. They needed that win over Illinois to do it, and a 77-74 loss will be a tough pill to swallow. You get some of my reaction from my OSU Sports Network postgame show in the immediate afterma...

Hello hoops fans! We continue to live in this beautiful month of March where basketball is front and center everywhere you look. This is our time to walk tall. But not if you're a Kansas fan. I am a not so proud alum and I'm currently in my feelings with this team with how the last few weeks have gone. We also open up by breaking down how much we enjoy this week of conference tournaments and why....
