X ends UConn’s flawless season; Kansas controversially escapes Oklahoma St; more big winners from start of league play (College Basketball 1/1) Jan 02, 2023

Show notes

Biggest result of the weekend? Probably Sean Miller and Xavier ending UConn's undefeated streak. But first: someone went 6-0-1 in the Final 4 And 1, and for once, it wasn't Norlander. We get into the weekend's events, including some side commentary on the CFP semifinals, plus highlight a bunch of the big winners from Saturday and Sunday. Is Penn State legit? Should Charleston be ranked? Is Baylor not all that good?

Kentucky fans fed up; Mizzou fans finally excited; New Year’s Eve preview and picks as we wrap 2022 (College Basketball 12/29) Dec 30, 2022

Show notes

Kentucky loses AGAIN, this time to Missouri. Kentucky fans are justifiably angry and Mizzou is building itself an NCAA Tournament case. The guys open on that, touch on the SEC overall, then get to previewing a pretty good NYE Saturday with their Final 4 And 1 picks. They also provide their dart throws at Saturday's CFP semifinals. A big episode to end 2022!

It's time for our annual, extensive look-back at 12 months worth of college basketball stories, highlights, drama and more.

Happy Holidays to all of you, dear listeners. As promised, Norlander and GP have come with goodies galore. It's a Mega Mailbag Special. And that takes up almost all of this Santa-sized episode.

It's was a more eventful Tuesday than expected. FOUR higher ranked teams lost, so Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander survey the damage. Does Miami have a claim to be the best team in the ACC? The guys break down what happened in Coral Gables on Tuesday. UConn got pushed, Providence beat Marquette, Duke lost at Wake.

Show notes

This weekend was an awesome one for college basketball — and the entire sports world. Norlander says it was the best of 2022. In CBB, UCLA made a statement about their title hopes with a controlling win over Kentucky. How much hot water is Calipari in right now? Also at the CBS Sports Classic, North Carolina got the win it needed against Ohio State; Norlander has the terrific backstory on the play that sent it to OT. Plus: more background on the Houston win over Virginia, Kansas' beatdown of Indiana, Arizona outlasting Tennessee, and Gonzaga overthrowing Alabama.
