Theater In College Hoops

Nothing more breathtaking or beautiful than a fresh NCAA Tournament Bracket as it hatches and comes out of the printer. Taylor & Subbi provide their thoughts and analysis ranging from upsets to story lines and eventual regional champions. Injuries to look out for include Adem Bona, Marcus Sasser and Norchad Omier. We also can't stand this bracket. For some reason, this bracket has been the lea...

Time to dive into the big boys of champ week. It's Jerome Week 2 and we got you covered with picks for the major players.

Just a remarkably dramatic weekend to kick off conference tourney play and of course i'm referencing the love triangle between Tom Sandoval, Ariana & Raquel. Once we get past our Bravo bullshit we recap some incredible finishes in the mid major conference tourneys including UNC Asheville storming back to beat Campbell and a huge hat tip for Kennesaw State as they are going to their first tourn...

Big episode as we welcome Taylor back and dive into a ton of different avenues. First Souley went BOUM against Providence breaking their home winning streak. Then we talk about how scorching hot Iowa is especially on the offensive end. We pivot to Bama outlasting Auburn in overtime... one of us just doesn't see Alabama as an elite 8 or final 4 team. We also had to give credit to Shaka Smart and th...

You know that feeling when you're walking home from the bar or a restaurant and you're only a block or so away from your house and your body alerts you that it's time to potty? Your body knows you're almost home. It knows what's so close. That's what happened in college basketball this past weekend. College basketball knows that March is right around the corner so it gave us 5 unbelievable buzzer...

What a great episode to round out the week! We were lucky to be joined by ESPN college basketball analyst, former player & coach and Army veteran, Chris Spatola. We talk everything ranging from his time in school, to coaching for Coach K to his breakthrough in media. We also talk about Buzz and his Aggies, the situation unfolding in Tuscaloosa and leadership qualities. We get outta here on som...

We're so close to March and the juices are flowing! Today we chat about some of the results from the Big 12 and we break down West Virginia, Texas Tech rounding into form, Oklahoma State disappointing us and Kansas just continues to roll. What a job Bill Self has done. We also talk about UNC and their status and look ahead to UConn & Providence this upcoming week. Taylor tries to get back on t...

Big episode today as we recap damn near everything that happened over the course of Tuesday & Wednesday. We had to start with the amazing finish in Evanston as Northwestern continues their hot streak knocking off Indiana. Then we rewind to PC's win over Creighton and keep scratching our heads over Illinois, Wisconsin & Michigan. Rutgers & New Mexico had some troubling home losses that...

First & foremost we are thinking of the Michigan State community as another tragedy has unfolded. We're only 25 days away from Selection Sunday so this was a huge weekend of theater that we had to recap. We talk about Bama just being built different as they beat Auburn in The Jungle. Then how about the job Chris Collins has done? Tremendous work in Evanston as they knock off Purdue for the pro...

Another day, another interview! This time we welcome to TICH, Eli Boettger. We dive into everything PNW as he's a big Huskies fan including his starting 5 for UW and what the temperature is on Mike Hopkins. We branch off to the rest of the country to get his thoughts on the A10, my wish to take Miami to the Final 4 and how we can revitalize UNLV & St. Johns. We stick around the Big East to get...

Just an awesome episode for you theater goers. Today we're joined by ESPN college basketball host & analyst, Dalen Cuff. Such a bright, energetic, thoughtful guy that was kind enough to share some incredible stories with us. He talks about his journey through the media ranks and how he got his start after playing at Columbia. He shares a remarkable story about covering the Olympics in Rio and...

BEEFY episode in terms of content and reach. We recap some big games from Wednesday night including Xavier and Providence going to overtime and Tennessee dropping one to their rival in Gainesville. We shift focus to the SEC and talk Alabama's beatdown of Vandy and ponder how much time Jerry Stackhouse really has left in Nashville. We head to the Big 12 where Kansas handled Kansas State and we disc...

Loaded weekend means a loaded slate of topics for us today. First we had to instantly react to Iowa State completely melting down and losing to Texas Tech despite being up 23. Really ugly loss for the Cyclones... we'll remember this come March. We also throw Rodney Terry's hat in the ring for COY. If that wasn't enough Big 12 talk then don't worry because we dive into the Big 12/SEC challenge whic...

Back again as we track a wild Tuesday & Wednesday in college hoops. First we take a look at some bubble teams and give our forecast for them because it's never too early to discuss blind resumes and bubbles bursting. Then we give a major hug (albeit still funny) to Georgetown for finally snapping their conference winless streak. Happy for the Hoyas! We had to highlight Emoni Bates' brilliant p...

This was a rather somber and sad episode. We had to let go of The Shark. Unfortunately he will no longer be a regular on the program but his heart and soul will always be a cornerstone of TICH... as will his terribly produced Saturday Slate tweets. Once we get the lump out of our throats we press on to talk about the movement in the Top 10 this past weekend, Arizona's huge sweep of LA and how come...

Got a great episode today as we welcome to the program Riley Davis from The Field of 68 and Heat Check. We dive into all sorts of topics including how he broke into the media space, the ACC, Iowa State, the Big 12 and the alleged John Wall/Tyler Hansbrough beef. We also talk about Mike Brey's upcoming retirement and recap a big Wednesday slate. We end it with a look ahead to the weekend! Learn mor...

Big episode as we dive into the age old question: who the hell is actually any good? Or should we be asking if all teams stink? Or maybe we need to ponder if there's no elite teams? Regardless, we're not going to say who the best team is on a week to week basis because this season has been unpredictable. We then talk about Sean Miller and the wonderful job he's done at Xavier. Did you think they'd...

Still not whole this new year as we missed Taylor but the Shark lugged himself out of a sickly bed and gutted out an hour long podcast. Please bear with his voice. We talk all things related to Kansas State's fast start and why Jerome Tang should be viewed, today, as COY. We also had to hat tip Providence for their scorching start in Big East play and recognize the impact Bryce Hopkins has been ma...

Just an awesome interview for you today as we kick of 2023. We were lucky enough to bring on Nate Sestina! He dove into his time at Bucknell and the heartbreaking tournament losses his teams suffered against West Virginia & Michigan State. We then pivot to his time with Kentucky and he goes in depth into the first conversation he had with John Calipari. Nate also peeled the curtain back and le...

Not gonna lie to you. It's been a tumultuous and heated week amongst the TICH boys. We had to hash some thing out as we recap Arizona's win over Tennessee. Then we also had to get to the big blue blood matchups this past weekend. Kansas smashed Indiana but Subbi isn't all out on the Hoosiers. What's going on with Kentucky against ranked teams? We break down what's going wrong in Lexington. Then we...

I guess it's upset week here at TICH as we bring on Giddy Potts. The man, the myth, the legend who helped Middle Tennessee State shock Michigan State back in 2016. We dive into that game, his mindset and how well the whole Raider team played that game. We also get his thoughts on the transfer portal and his "next up" mentality. I dive into some topics from this week as well including the IARP deci...

Hilarious episode as we welcome to the program former Saint Mary's legend, Omar Samhan. He dives into his career as an agent and we had to relive some iconic moments such as him knocking off #2 seed Villanova. We also talk about some of the best players he's faced and Omar gives us an unforgettable story from one of the greatest players to ever play the game. We also talk about Chris Beard and how...

Jimmy V week is here, folks. You know what? Before listening to this podcast, go listen to Valvano's speech. I don't care if it's the millionth time you've heard it. The words will live on forever. Once you finish that up, you can listen to us talk about Maryland and the state of Gonzaga. Is it good that they're getting punched in the mouth early this season? We also preview some spicy matchups as...

Feast Week is officially in the books and we're ready to embrace the Big 10/ACC Challenge. Lotta terrific games on tap this week and dive into our favorites. I think everyone is pavloving for UNC/Indiana. We also recap the best from Feast Week which include highlighting Arizona, Tennessee, UConn and Purdue. What were some of the biggest takeaways from their performances. Following that, we had to...
