Plus, he shares what has kept him in East Lansing for nearly 20 years, the pillars of the Michigan State program, his relationship with Tom Izzo, the motivation behind his book, Dare to Hit .400, and who...

If you've ever played video games you know the feeling of powering on Street Fighter or Tekken and getting to choose your fighter before going to battle. It feels like that in the Big 12 and B1G right now. So many options, each with their own strengths (and flaws), but multiple paths towards the same goal. So, in light of the weekend action - which Hartzell and Norlander break down enthusiasticall...

Vandy sent a major statement over Texas on Thursday night, and with the first top-16 reveal looming it could had significant implications. Rob and Megan break down that game in-depth, plus all the other happenings from the week (hello TCU!). And, with 15 days left in the regular season, that's seemingly one day for each of Rob's ramblings this week. National Player of the Year, Madison Booker, Big...

There's one undefeated team left in college basketball and it belongs to Travis Steele, head coach of the Miami (OH) RedHawks, who are 24-0 and looking to keep it rolling heading into March. Norlander and Hartzell open the show talking to Coach Steele about basketball, non-conference scheduling, and cold plunges (which you'll learn is a critical part of Steele's day-to-day). After the deep dive on...

Happy Opening Day 2026! As they've done the last two seasons, the #3D crew has hit the road to feature a Top 25 team as they prepare for the start of the season! This year, it's the #11 North Carolina Tar Heels in the spotlight, as host David Kahn sits down for 3 exclusive interviews with head coach Scott Forbes and team captains Gavin Gallaher and Matthew Matthijs. The 3 UNC representatives get i...

Goodness that was a sports weekend, wasn't it kids? Super Bowl was underwhelming but the college basketball delivered in a big way, starting on Friday night in the Big East and rolling all the way into the wee hours of Sunday morning. Right off the jump Hartzell & Norlander bring in Joe Ovies from OG Triangle Media to unpack what we all saw in Chapel Hill on Saturday; the buzzer-beater, the co...

It was another loaded Thursday night across the country, with five ranked-vs-ranked games, plus OT in Athens, an upset in Iowa City and more!

Not one, not two, how about THREE court storms on Wednesday night and we're talking about all of 'em here on CSN. Matt Norlander joins Stephen Hartzell to break down all the drama from the weekday games, including Portland's shocking upset of the Zags, college basketball's latest villain, and BYU's road win problems. Hartzell dunks on Duke's on-court shoes from Tuesday night, plus a mea culpa on D...

Hartzell is on his second straight week of being at home with the kids because of all the snow in North Carolina, so him and Norlander fire up some early morning CSN to recap the weekend, starting with the Sunday results of Florida over Alabama and Illinois doing it again on the road against a top-5 team. The guys discuss the Darryn Peterson story from the weekend, because no one is doubting the g...

It wasn't the busiest week of the season, but there was still plenty to recap from the week. But boy oh boy is it coming as the calendar flips to February. Sunday and Thursday each feature SIX top-25 showdowns. Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce run through all of it and discuss what the updated tournament picture looks like as we have single-digit games remaining for most in the regular season. See Privac...

The most popular 'Now Spinning' segment we do every year returns for the Grammy's this weekend; Norlander attempts to 'spot the fake' in the nominees this year - and Hartzell has the help of AI, unlike in season's past - so you have that to look forward to at the end of the show. The hoops portion of today's program is loaded as we recap boots-on-the-ground takeaways from Norlander's trips to Prov...

If you weren't locked into the college basketball on Saturday you really missed out. Three different freshmen went off for 40+ points, in total there were seven diaper dandies that dropped 30+, and oh by the way the actual games were pretty damned good too. Matt Norlander spent the weekend in Utah hitting the slopes and watching the AJ Dybantsa show, he's got boots on the ground for Monday night's...

Megan is back and better than ever and we've got GAMES to discuss. Another crazy Thursday with two top-20 games going to overtime in Norman and College Park, plus everything else that happened throughout Wednesday and Thursday. Then on Sunday there's (barring weather) a top-5 SEC clash in Columbia between South Carolina and still-undefeated Vanderbilt. Alaina Morris of Vandy 24/7 jumps on to talk...

Props to the mighty Miami U RedHawks who are 20-0 on the season and we got Matt Norlander dropping bars on today's show about just how big of a deal that actually is. The list of recent mid-majors to get to that mark are few and far between, and Norlander talks about why we all need to be locked in on what's going down in the MAC. What about the other two undefeated teams in D1? Let's bring in Eva...

That's right, folks...this is our last college football show for awhile. Hartzell needs a break (besides, he's got hoops shows dropping twice a week on this here feed), but don't worry because Roddy and Wayne bring the gas. Natty takes and reaction from what we all saw on Monday night, plus a whole lot more. Including - but limited to - Indiana's historic build, the thin margins that decided the g...

Indiana 27 Miami 21 ... and just like that ... football season is over, folks. We got Michael Felder with us to break down his takes on the National Championship game and there are many. Should Indiana have scored more than they did? What about Carson Beck's late pick? How do we feel about how Cristobal's game management and decision-making? Tripp is back from his stomach bug and has some opinions...

Special MLK Day edition of CSN recapping the basketball weekend as only we can. Matt Norlander lets it out on his Bears dropping an OT thriller on Sunday night (it's not your fault) and then the hoops talk picks up. What a weekend in the SEC with Florida winning at Vanderbilt and Kentucky storming back - again - to beat Tennessee on Rocky Top. Did the 'Cats save their season with a pair of come--f...

We adjust on the fly! Megan felt under the weather so Rob had to largely fly solo to talk about a hectic, busy Thursday with a ton of top-25 games. But he's not entirely alone! USA Today's Mitchell Northam jumps on to talk some national big-picture things, then South Carolina beat writer Lulu Kesin of the Greenville News joins the show to go in-depth on South Carolina's victory over Texas and the...

There's a lot of these floating around out there, but this is the last one you're going to need. Michael Felder and Stephen Hartzell empty the clip on Monday's natty, complete with a heavy dose of 'what it will take' for the underdog Miami to shock the world. Felder Five is loaded, as per usual, with some key points of emphasis ahead of the big game; can Mark Fletcher keep doing what he's been doi...

Not sure what Wayne ate for breakfast today, but he came out of the gates on an absolute heater. We're talking Fernando Mendoza in the CFP type of heater. Just straight flames. In addition to the semifinal reaction and the obvious lookahead to Monday night's national championship, there are rants about the death of the SEC, capitalism, the over-value of players in the portal, and - you guessed it...

Our man Roddy Jones had boots on the ground for both BOTH CFP Semifinals last week so we had to bring him in and let the man cook on what he saw in Glendale & Atlanta. Tripp Hurd is back from a nasty stomach bug that had him sidelined for almost a full week, so the Doc is back and giving takes on what he expects to see with our Indiana vs Miami matchup for the whole enchilada. Hartzell has opi...

There's just one college football game left on the calendar and Hartzell is very confident how that one is going to play out next week. Time to turn the page and start talking some college hoops with our guy Matt Norlander from CBS Sports and the Eye on College Basketball podcast. We're two or three weeks into the conference campaign and Norlander is of the belief this is one of the best college b...

In a week filled with upsets, some pleasant surprises have emerged out of the pack - and Rob isn't afraid to admit he was wrong on teams like Ole Miss and Ohio State. He and Megan also recap another busy Thursday around the country, put Iowa State's loss on Wednesday into (recent) historical perspective and then preview a hectic weekend (that's a theme here the rest of the way). They wrap the show...

You read that correctly, a special edition of Felder Friday because we have a CFP Semifinal tonight and we gotta give the people what they need before toe meets leather. Michael Felder and Stephen Hartzell are joined by CBS Sports' Chip Patterson to help break down both of these semis coming up, plus who does Chip think is going to move on to the main event down in South Florida on January 19th? W...

The Playoff talk continues as we head West to check in with our resident quarterback and silver fox Wayne Cook. How did Wayne feel about the Rose Bowl beat down (he had boots on the ground in Pasadena), plus who can give Indiana a game and what will it take for Oregon to hang around against a team that's already beaten them once this season (hint: perfection from the Ducks). Phil Steele joins the...
