Analysis covers the Big East’s growing pains, TCU’s surprising run, Florida’s backcourt struggles, and shifting Final Four odds after a chaotic Feast Week. What does this wild week mean for the true contenders and pretenders in college hoops?

MICHIGAN ON FIRE! DOMINATES Players Era | NO PETERSON, NO PROBLEM: Kansas Knocks Off (17)Tennessee Nov 27, 2025

Show notes

The Michigan Wolverines came to Las Vegas for the Players Era Festival undefeated, but not looking sharp. SUDDENLY, they're world beaters, obliterating every opponent they played.

Kansas was without Darryn Peterson in Vegas, but no matter, they went undefeated. Sure, Notre Dame and Syracuse aren't great, but then they knocked off Tennessee.

Auburn, in a "meaningless" game, hands St. John's their 2nd loss in Vegas and 3rd loss of the season.

USC wins the Maui Invitational, while the 5th place game (the expected Championship game), between Texas and NC State DELIVERED!

Show notes

Purdue reassert their dominance with a 30-point rout over Texas Tech, silencing doubters after a shaky outing against Memphis. Can the Boilermakers sustain this top-ranked momentum, or are hidden weaknesses still lurking?

Isaac Schade and Andy Patton break down Purdue's balanced attack, Oscar Cluff’s breakout 15-15 performance, and debate whether Texas Tech’s struggles stem from injury woes or an unfinished roster. Key transfer disappointments and Big 12 power shifts take center stage, with BYU's blowout win over Wisconsin and the impressive return of Keba Keita setting off alarm bells for the rest of the league.

The conversation heats up around Butler’s rise, Memphis’s spiral under Penny Hardaway, and pressing questions about MTEs like the Maui Invitational’s declining prestige amid the rise of the Players Era Festival. Could college basketball’s traditional holiday tournaments be facing extinction? Buckle up for expert insights, passionate takes, and a candid look at the evolving landscape of college hoops.

Arizona PROVES they are BEST team in college hoops with win over UConn! | Big East in big trouble? Nov 20, 2025

Show notes

Tommy Lloyd and the Arizona Wildcats picked up a massive road win over the UConn Huskies on Wednesday, out-rebounding Danny Hurley's team by 20. The Huskies were without star center Tarris Reed, but this performance made it clear: Arizona is the BEST team in college basketball!

Discussion also covers the other ranked-on-ranked game from Wednesday, which had Alabama pull off a big win over Illinois in Chicago. Plus, UConn will be fine, but the rest of the Big East? Not so much. With Marquette losing to Dayton, the Big East is now 3-14 against KenPom top 100 teams, and only Georgetown - and Seton Hall - has exceeded preseason expectations. Will this even be a three-bid league?

Finally, we preview Thursday's great slate of games, including Purdue and Memphis in the Bahamas and a fun one between Kansas State and Mississippi State in Kansas City.

The discussion covers Jaxson Kohler's breakout performance, Kansas playing without star freshman Darryn Peterson, and whether Cayden Boozer is Duke's long-term point guard solution.

Isaac Schade moderates a roundtable featuring Lance Dawe (LO Kentucky), Matt Sheehan (LO Spartans), JJ Jackson (LO Blue Devils), and Derek Johnson (LO Jayhawks) as they break down both matchups.

AJ Dybantsa nearly single-handedly erases a 20-point deficit for BYU against UConn, while Kingston Flemings leads Houston's freshman trio past Auburn in a nail-biting finish.

The discussion covers UConn's balanced attack with Silas Demary, Alex Karaban, and Tarris Reed each scoring 21 points, Houston's defensive stand in the final 23 seconds, and Arizona's claim to the nation's best resume. The weekly six-pack includes Michigan's narrow escapes, Texas A&M's struggles without Mackenzie Mgbako, Memphis' shocking home loss to UNLV, and Georgetown's quality win over Clemson as a rare Big East bright spot.
