What could be a wild weekend upcoming in Hoops Feb 08, 2024

Show notes

If you're a ranked team in college basketball, odds are you're playing a road game this weekend against someone who's unranked. It could be a wild next couple of days on the hardwood, and we got Hartzell & Norlander to recap what was and preview what's coming. Evan Miyakawa - of EvanMiya.com fame - joins the show to talk analytics and expand on how his site emphasizes the players (and lineups) on the floor and not just the team. Fascinating stuff from one of the smarter guys in the sport. Plus Super Bowl predictions on the way out (spoiler: we got a consensus pick).

What if I told you there was a show that contained breakdowns of every top-10 matchup from the hoops weekend (there were four), plus you got Norlander's list of top 5 teams to cut down the nets AND Grammy's talk? Oh yeah, we also got ACC legend Joe Ovies to come by and dunk on the metrics guys (like Norlander) and give us some reaction from UNC/Duke which he watched in person on Saturday night. You want hoops and music takes? We got you, fam!

Plus, we're joined by the radio voice of the NC State Wolfpack, Andrew Sanders (@AJSandersPxP) to discuss last night's win over North Carolina and the season as a whole that's seen the Pack live in the top-5 after starting the year unranked.
