And then there were four Mar 31, 2025

Show notes

Final Four in San Antonio is set, so let's talk about it. Norlander and Hartzell break down the weekend that was - including a Sweet 16 and Elite 8 recap from all four regions - plus a lookahead to what on paper could be the best set of Final Four games ... ever? The guys have a disagreement on whether or not Jon Scheyer has over-achieved in his first three years at Duke (Norlander says yes, Hartzell says no), and we have on-the-ground reporting from Newark over the weekend. Gators and Auburn did the things. Houston is a monster, and you knew it was going to end like this, Vols fans. Sorry that it had to happen in the Elite 8. Retirement watch in Knoxville? And speaking of coaches, Norlander empties the notebook on everything that went down with the messy split between Maryland and Kevin Willard. From Crab Five to coach-less and AD-less in the span of a week. Tough scene for the folks in College Park!

Dugouts, Dumbbells & Dingers - Vanderbilt's John Michael Morris | March 26, 2025 Mar 26, 2025

Show notes

Vanderbilt's Director of Recruiting, John Michael Morris, joins Dugouts, Dumbbells & Dingers to talk all things Vanderbilt baseball, Avengers, broadcasting, recruiting and more! Kyle Schassburger and David Kahn recap Kahn's trip to Morgantown to chronicle West Virginia and Arizona, breeze through the weekend results, highlighting several massive SEC, ACC and Big West series. Plus, Chris Pollard and Cliff Godwin go toe to toe (and nearly chest to chest) in a high-caliber midweek bout, and UNCW throws a *perfect game*. Midweeks matter, the MBB tournament has overpromised and underdelivered, and Schass believes his golf game is on the rise.

Sweet 16 Recap + Hartzell's top 8 games from the opening weekend Mar 25, 2025

Show notes

A very special Monday night edition of CSN recapping the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament because Norlander has been absolutely grinding over the coaching carousel and we had to push the show back a cool 10 hours. Yes, the carousel is at maximum capacity, but we're here to recap the actual games from Thursday - Sunday. There is audio of the Derik Queen buzzer-beater to break Colorado State hearts, and then we're off to the races. Hartzell has his list of top 8 games of the tournament so far. Norlander absolutely loses it recapping the Mick Cronin transcript from UCLA's loss to Tennessee, and oh so much more. Do we ever need to hear from Amir Khan again? Too bad because he'll be at the Final Four. Plus the NCAA court designs have actually gotten worse. This is content we're here for, people!

TOURNEY TIIIIIIIIME | Gauer Hour Mar 18, 2025

Show notes

Consider this your NCAA Tournament fast pass. Thirty-two games. Under 45 minutes. We hit on each one (okay, we largely ignored the 1/16 and 2/15 matchups), breakdown who is going to advance, who is primed for a Cinderella run, and at whose expense, and we make our official Final Four and national championship selections. Plus, thoughts on the field as a whole off the top, and why the bracket as it looks was a perfectly reasonable outcome, despite what some notable head coaches believed.

The bracket has arrived! Mar 17, 2025

Show notes

We have our bracket, the field is set, and now we're going to talk about it. Norlander and Hartzell spend an hour running through the teams, matchups, stories, gripes, complaints, snubs, you name it. Both guys are operating on very little rest but the bracket is out and we must respect the bracket. If you're not planning your week around games tipping at 12:15 ET on a Thursday afternoon then you need to do better, people. We made it, fam. It's Tournament time!

50 Hours Till a Bracket + George Mason's Vanessa Blair-Lewis | Gauer Hour Mar 14, 2025

Show notes

The countdown to a bracket is on! Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce recap Championship Weekend across the sport at the power conference level, talking about the highs of Duke, UCLA, South Carolina and TCU's tourney victories. And our dreams will be realized as the A-10 should get two bids to the dance after George Mason secured its first-ever NCAA Tournament berth with an A-10 title. Head coach Vanessa Blair-Lewis jumps on to talk about the win and introduce us to the Patriots team. We end with some love for some mid/low-major conference winners, and Megan tells us what the bracket will look like come Sunday. Who are the 1-seeds? Who is hosting? Who are the last four in/first four out?

Best Friday slate of games ... ever? Mar 14, 2025

Show notes

Norlander is in NYC covering the Big East. Hartzell is in Nashville covering the SEC. The torch is literally being passed from the old mecca to the new one on today's show, which is absolutely loaded because - I mean, have you SEEN the slate of games on deck today? The guys start in the ACC and talk about Cooper Flagg's injury and what it means for Duke, and from there it's a conference whiparound. Big East > SEC > Big 12 > Big Ten > MWC. Coaching carousel talk to wrap the show (because business there is about to pick up in a big way today). A lot to get to and not a ton of time, so the guys pack in all into a power-hour edition of CSN on the Friday of conference tournament week. Selection Sunday is two days away, people! This is not a drill!
