We talk about betting tendencies in college basketball, what we can look forward to next yea...

Most of them are thank yous to the fine folks that...

The tournament officially starts today so we decided to break down and predict the First 4 in Dayton. Not gonna lie... I am not a SWAC guy so I can assure you I didn't pick Grambling. Wagner/Howard however could move me. It will be a very slow and methodical game but it'll be fun! Then we got the 2 power games that we'll break down. We also had to talk a little bit more about our bracket and touch...

It's funny where life takes you. When we started this lil passion project podcast back in 2017, I barely knew how to operate Google Hangouts to record. Then we slowly but surely graduated to interviewing coaches, former players and folks with great stories in the game. Well all of that lead us to to this point. This episode. Somehow, I sat down with the President of Hercules Tires, Josh Simpson. W...

Doesn't get any better than sitting down with Greg Waddell in the month of March to talk hoops. Truly one of our favorite dudes in the business. We spray it around and talk everything from fatherhood, to the growth of his podcast, to everything in college basketball. We talk mid majors vs. power, the sport's popularity and of course a lotta Big Ten talk. Always a treat to have Greg join us. We tal...

Conference tournament week rolls on like a tractor! What a night we were treated to in the ASUN on Tuesday evening. 3 incredible games and one of them went to OT. We dive into the success of Jacksonville, Austin Peay & North Alabama. Then we had to set aside time for Wake Forest and dissect their current demise. What is happening in Winston Salem? On the flip side, we head to the opposite side...

First episode of March has us feeling a certain type of way! We kick it off with what happened this week last year in The Jerome and then dive into Villanova and Iowa. Those boys are playing so incredibly well to round out their seasons. Villanova's defense is carrying them. Iowa's offense is carrying them. Polar opposites but it's been fun seeing them surge late. Then we talk a little Jerome and...

Really fun episode today as we talk about the Jerome kicking off next week! No picks just yet because we have to see how the rest of the regular season shakes out but we do dive into some of the tournaments that we are most looking forward to. We're not talking Big 12 or Big East or even the MVW or MWC... we're talkin conferences like the SWAC & the OVC. There are some compelling teams, coache...

It's the topic that everyone has been discussing so we had to throw in our 2 cents. Usually I don't enjoy going along with the grain. That is to say, I don't enjoy talking about what literally everyone else is talking about. But this was a huge deal so we had to discuss our reactions and what can be done moving forward. Then we talk about Baylor: are they really good or elite? Then we talk about t...

We're thrilled to welcome on to the program the creator and founder of Big Underdog Bracketology, Jason Carmello. We had to dive right into the thick of it as it related to bubble teams, #1 seeds, teams that can make a run to get to the right side of the bubble and of course teams that are going to be sweating out their Selection Sunday no matter what (I'm looking at you, Wake). He breaks down som...

The committee revealed some top seeds from this past weekend so Taylor and Subbi had to react. We spent a good portion talking about Arizona and how Kylan Boswell and Jaden Bradley are supremely important to their success as a team. Then we chat about the true difference between Purdue & UConn and shout out Washington State for cracking the rankings as well as Florida. Rick Pitino made some wa...

LENGTHY episode today but thems the brakes as we close in on Selection Sunday. We open the episode by talking about the Chris Holtmann departure from Ohio State and what that means for the Buckeyes. There are some verrrrry interesting names that they should call so we sort out who makes the most sense. Then we dive into a plethora of teams as we try to confirm their identity. You all know by now t...

White Whale type of episode today folks. We sit down with the creator of one of the greatest shots in March Madness history and Colorado State Assistant coach, Ali Farokhmanesh. Dude is a March Madness/UNI legend so of course we had to get his perspective on that incredible shot that sunk Kansas. We dive into the nitty gritty of the play itself but also talk about the difference between a selfish...

It's the last episode before the Niners and Chiefs face off so we did our best to compare college basketball teams to the Super Bowl hopefuls. How do Purdue, UConn, Carolina & Tennessee compare? Then we look at Lunardi's latest bracketology and focus in on the bubble teams. Who are some teams that we're disgusted with and who are some that we're in love with? Then we end it on some segments! L...

Lots to discuss today as we dive into the weekend that was. Who were we most impressed with and is it time to worry about Kentucky and their defense? We highlight some of the gripes with have with rankings but that pales in comparison to the gripes we have with some coaches and officials. Additionally, have you checked out the AAC yet? Hilarious top half. In addition to the AAC, I want you all to...

You know that feeling after talking to someone and you just FEEL smarter? That's how I felt after chatting with Heat Check CBB contributor, Brian Rauf. We talk about his career journey and the path it took him to get where he is today and then we get into the nitty gritty of this upcoming Saturday. Folks... it's a lovely slate. Duke/UNC, Tennessee/Kentucky, Houston/Kansas, Iowa State/Baylor, South...

Blast of an episode today as our interviews take us to Big East country. We sat down with Jalen Courtney-Williams from Creighton to get his thoughts on this potent Jays team and what's been the key to their January success. We also talk about last year's heartbreaking loss to SDSU and dive into what makes a certain lineup so potent. Jalen was incredible to chat with because of his stories from bei...

The interviews roll on! Today we're joined by Iowa State Assistant Coach, JR Blount. What a fantastic interview this was as we dive deep into his playing days and his coaching journey which include successful seasons at Colorado State and Drake. We talk about turning around a 2 win program, his days as a ball player at Loyola Chicago and of course we talk about Iowa State's stellar defense. The Cl...

We are so pumped to bring on Samford's Mitch Cole to talk everything Samford hoops. They're one of the hottest teams in the country having won 17 games in a row so we had to dive into what is driving this win streak and what we can expect from the Bulldogs moving forward.
