Brackets, Bubbles, and Bid Stealers College Basketball Podcast
Welcome to Brackets, Bubbles, and Bid Stealers! If you came to find the best college basketball coverage, from team No. 1 to team No. 365, you came to the right place! Co-Hosts Sam Federman and Jonathan Lidskin watch as much college basketball as anybody, and like to break down the game in a unique way. Sam and Jonathan, with the help of the best guests in the business, attempt to stray away from the narratives that plague mainstream college hoops discourse, taking an angle based on watching the games with a critical eye and analyzing advanced analytics with both acceptance and skepticism.
