The weekend basketball got off the rails Feb 03, 2025

Show notes

This past weekend was crazy - not just because of the on-court shenanigans in college, but also a blockbuster NBA trade in the wee hours of Sunday morning. When it was all said and done, half of the AP top 25 caught an L over the weekend, the Big XII got into the liquor cabinet, Coach Cal did the unthinkable and actually won in his return to Rupp, the SEC meatgrinder continued, and oh yeah - Duke/UNC part 1 was a blowout. Speaking of the ACC, Joe Ovies joins the show around the 35-minute mark to talk about what he saw first-hand at Cameron on Saturday night. What does it look like if UNC misses the NCAAs, and are we talking about this Duke team wrong? The GRAMMYs were last night, everyone has takes - including Ovies - so the crew talks about music's biggest night to wrap the show.

LOTS of resume talk | Gauer Hour Jan 31, 2025

Show notes

There are less than ten games remaining in the regular season, so it's time to get those resumes prepared. In recapping another busy week of games, Rob Joyce and Megan Gauer weigh the resumes of the teams in the running to host (there are... a lot) and of teams trying to make the field, period. Plus, impressive weeks for South Carolina and Vanderbilt (among others) and a UConn-Tennessee preview.

Let's go to Lubbock + weekend preview Jan 30, 2025

Show notes

Special edition of CSN complete with a visit to a 10-acre ranch in Lubbock to talk with Texas Tech head coach Grant McCasland and his miniature donkeys. No, seriously. Obviously a lot of hoops to discuss from the midweek action, including a pretty busy Wednesday night on the hardwood. Norlander and Hartzell chat with the Red Raiders' head coach about his team, their 5-game winning streak, and living life under the radar in the Big 12. Massive slate of games coming up for Tech, starting with Saturday at Houston, who has won a cool 13 games in a row. Weekend preview of what looks like - at least on paper - to be at least a B+ slate of games (Norlander thinks it's an A-). Now Spinning at the end of the show features a 'spot the fake' edition of GRAMMY nominees, which is a tried and true celebration of the biggest night in music.

Here come the Coogs Jan 27, 2025

Show notes

Weekend recap episode on deck with Norlander & Hartzell running through all the notable results from college basketball, with an emphasis on Houston's 2OT win at Kansas. Coogs have reeled off 12 straight wins and had to work for it on Saturday at the Phog. Of course Kansas is to blame for their part in blowing a 6-point lead with less than 30 seconds to go, but plenty to discuss from one of the games of the year in hoops so far this season. Also 7lots of talk on Auburn's win over Tennessee. Hartzell has an absurd Johni Broome take that rightfully gets dismissed by Norlander. Another loaded weekend of results in the SEC, plus another UConn loss, Duke gets it done on the road at Wake, and - oh yeah - Green Bay lost again. Now Spinning at the end of the show takes us back to Bonnaroo where the headliners have fallen from the glory days of 20 years ago (and for the low low price of $26K you, too, can be a 'Roo Insider)

So... who wants to host? | Gauer Hour Jan 24, 2025

Show notes

A number of top-20 teams lost in the last week, some good, some fine, some... not so good. Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce try to make sense of it all on the latest Gauer Hour. A recap of the week that was, talks on the impacts of injuries to Bri McDaniel and Ayoka Lee, a (second, it turns out) preview of South Carolina-LSU and more. Plus, we cap it with the biggest game of the midweek next week... that's right, a teeny Harvard-Columbia chat to wrap the show.

Midweek drama on the hardwood + weekend preview Jan 23, 2025

Show notes

If you've slept on college basketball this week fear not, because we got you. Matt Norlander (CBS Sports) and Stephen Hartzell walk you through the Wednesday drama, where three SEC games were decided by a total of 5 points. We had comebacks, buzzer beaters, and the show's first PxP audio of the season, as we get you caught up on everything from Wednesday night. Dan Hurley had a viral moment on Tuesday, which gets discussed, as well as the on-court portion of UConn's basketball season. Speaking of the Big East, how bout the Johnnies? We talk St John's being off to their best start in 40 years! Weekend preview at the end of the show, highlighted by some ranked-on-ranked games in the B1G, Big 12, and SEC.

Natty recap - Ohio State did the damn thing Jan 21, 2025

Show notes

Ohio State 34 Notre Dame 23 and just like that, the college football season is over. We got the whole gang for one last ride - Felder, Roddy, Wayne, and Hartzell - breaking down the Buckeyes win and what it means for both of the programs that played in Atlanta on Monday night. Naturally, the conversation steers towards the OSU roster, and both the ability (and cost) to retain so many elite players in Columbus. If Ryan Day got the trophy he needed most, what coach needs to hoist the hardware next? Is Notre Dame a program that can sustain CFP runs like the one they just went on? Who's going to be playing in this game a year from now in Miami? We really nail the dismount on the final college football show of the season here on CSN. Thanks for listening and enjoy!

Monday hoops! Jan 20, 2025

Show notes

There's a LOT going on today. MLK Day, Presidential Inauguration, CFP National Championship, and - you guessed it - beaucoup college basketball reaction! We got Matt Norlander back in the chair to break down the happenings from this past weekend, starting with a gauge on the Big Ten hoops scene; the good (Michigan State), the bad (Mick Cronin's press conferences), and the ugly (Indiana's soon-to-be head coaching search). ACC was spicy on Saturday, including UNC's embarrassing home loss, SMU's beatdown, and a huge next couple of weeks for the Deacs. SEC, Big East, and Big 12 are also covered, plus whatever is happening in Spokane with a Zags team that is coming off an 0-2 week. There are official CFP score predictions for tonight's big game in Atlanta, which Hartzell doesn't think is going to be very competitive, and Norlander has a bold prediction on the winner (and the score).

We've got some shaky NCAA Tourney resumes... | Gauer Hour Jan 17, 2025

Show notes

A ton to get to on the latest Gauer Hour! Megan and Rob discuss the introduction (finally) of units to the NCAA Tournament and why it's a massive step forward for the game. Plus the usual recap/preview, hitting on all the games from the last five days and previewing a massive slate of games to come (South Carolina-Oklahoma; UCLA-Baylor; Maryland-Texas; Maryland-Ohio State; South Carolina-LSU). And after losses of varying degrees, Rob questions the NCAA Tournament resumes of a team from the Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC.

CFP semifinals recap & Natty lookahead Jan 14, 2025

Show notes

The fellas have been marinating on these takes since the weekend, time to unpack what we saw in the CFP Semis. Roddy Jones was in Miami for the Orange Bowl, so he has first-hand observations on Notre Dame / Penn State (and you already know Wayne has got all kinds of Drew Allar takes). Lots of takeaways from the Cotton Bowl where Ohio State took care of Texas late, even without their best stuff. Hartzell and the Lock Doc join Hot Rod and Cookie to look ahead toward Monday night in Atlanta. How's everybody feel about the big game? Why is Wayne doing an Irish accent? And where is the Doc of Locks leaning? There's only 6 days left in the college football season, so let's make it count.
