ACC Bracketology, Bubble Watch & coaching carousel begins | Canes NHL trade deadline discipline | Kara Era at Duke | Wes Moore NC State speculation Mar 09, 2026

Show notes

ACC Tournament week is here — and Ovies & Giglio are locked in on everything happening before heading to Charlotte.

The coaching carousel is already spinning, but several programs are facing common trait that keeps programs stuck in neutral. Then Senior OG Media Bracketologist Patrick Stevens returns with his latest NCAA Tournament field projections — including the question that every Wolfpack fan needs answered right now. Is NC State actually a bubble team even if they manage to avoid an early exit in Charlotte? Patrick brings the numbers, the committee logic, and the honest assessment of where the Wolfpack stand with Selection Sunday approaching fast. Bonus: A very special blind resume comparison!

Mitch Northam from the Women's Basketball Podcast joins the show to break down the state of Duke women's basketball under Kara Lawson after back-to-back ACC Tournament championships. Plus, there's speculation surrounding NC State women's basketball head coach Wes Moore's future in Raleigh. Is there merit to the noise?

The Carolina Hurricanes trade deadline discipline gets a follow up conversation — because the questions haven't gone away. Are the Canes going to regret not adding a goalie before the deadline? And the deeper philosophical debate — is it better to sustain a consistent playoff window year after year, or blow it up, chase a Stanley Cup, miss the playoffs for a stretch, and rebuild around a championship? Two very different visions for a franchise. NFL Free Agency enters the conversation as the league's offseason market opens and quarterbacks and key free agents find new homes across the league. Plus the OG Social Media Dump and OG Sports Phone close things out — because the listeners always have something worth hearing during ACC Tournament week.

March Madness Message: Duke Locks In and Locks Up UNC | What Happened to NC State? Mar 08, 2026

Show notes

Tobacco Road closed the regular season with a tale of two teams heading in completely opposite directions.

Duke overcame their own injury concerns and a desperate UNC squad reeling from Caleb Wilson's season ending injury — with Dame Sarr and Maliq Brown stepping up in a crucial second half to seal the Blue Devils' statement win. Meanwhile in Raleigh, NC State's late season swoon hit a new low with a listless home loss to Stanford. Four straight losses. Six of their last seven. The Wolfpack are stumbling into the ACC Tournament at the worst possible time.

Ovies & Giglio have the full reaction with OG After Dark — presented by Bloomin' Blinds.

OG Mailbag: Canes opting out of deadline? | Youth sports approach | Caring about postseason awards | Wade evolution? Mar 06, 2026

Show notes

The OG Mailbag is back — after some hot NHL trade deadline takes about the Carolina Hurricanes.

This week Ovies & Giglio tackle how to introduce sports to your kids the right way, the continuing Smith Center debate and that third option nobody's talking about, whether Will Wade can evolve for next season, whether Jon Scheyer should even care about ACC Coach of the Year, and Hubert Davis — the highs, the lows, and everything the Hubert Haters don't want to acknowledge. Plus more listener questions and more unfiltered Triangle takes.

UNC stumbles into best Smith Center option | Should Canes trade for goalie? | Hot Hornets | 03.05 Mar 05, 2026

Show notes

Time for another Butcher's Market OG Live — and there's a lot on the table today.

The debate surrounding the Smith Center and the future of UNC basketball's home has been dominating conversations in Chapel Hill for months. Everyone has been picking sides between renovating the Dean Dome or relocating to UNC's ambitious Carolina North project. But a third option has quietly emerged from the noise — and Ovies & Giglio are making the case that it's the one that makes the most sense of all. Speaking of the Tar Heels — is Caleb Wilson back for the Duke game?

Bracketology talk follows before the focus shifts to the Carolina Hurricanes. The Canes won their final game before the NHL trade deadline — but the market feels frozen. Would the smartest move for the Hurricanes actually be standing pat and making no deal at all? Then it's down to Charlotte where the Hornets continue to be the most surprising story in the NBA. Forget the play-in conversation — this team has legitimate designs on climbing all the way to the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference before the regular season ends. How far can they go?

UNC 5-1 without Caleb Wilson, now focused on Duke sweep | NFL's bleak QB market | NCAA Bracketology | 03.04 Mar 04, 2026

Show notes

Another bad night to be a Hubert Hater. North Carolina made the winning plays when it mattered most, gutted out a victory over Clemson, and wrapped up an 18-0 home record to close out the regular season at the Dean Dome. Caleb Wilson is expected back in the lineup ahead of the regular season finale against Duke — and if the Tar Heels can sweep the Blue Devils on the road to close things out, Hubert Davis inserted himself into a very real ACC Coach of the Year conversation.

Senior OG Media Bracketologist Patrick Stevens joins the guys with his latest NCAA Tournament projections — including a conversation about Miami (OH). ESPN's Brooke Pryor comes into the studio to cover the NFL landscape, including NFL Combine gossip and the league's increasingly bleak quarterback market and what it means for teams heading into the offseason.

The Devils Went Down to Raleigh and Duke Dominates NC State | OG After Dark Mar 03, 2026

Show notes

The Devils went down to Raleigh. And it wasn't close.

Duke dominated NC State in their only regular season meeting of 2026 — and honestly? We're running out of ways to explain how good this Blue Devils team is. They do the basic things. They do them right. Consistently better than anyone in the ACC is doing anything right now. As for the Wolfpack? Confidence in their ability to make noise during March Madness is fading fast.

OG After Dark is presented by Bloomin Blinds — because great windows deserve great coverage, and so does Triangle sports.

NC State is a metrics darling with red flags | Scheyer should be ACC COY | Bracketology | 03.02 Mar 02, 2026

Show notes

To paraphrase Clerks, they weren’t even supposed to be here today and just waiting for tonight's OG After Dark. But after NC State dropped an overtime head scratcher to Notre Dame on Saturday — and the OG Sports Phone absolutely lit up — Ovies & Giglio had no choice but to hit the studio. OG Media Senior Bracketologist Patrick Stevens also joins the show to break down the Wolfpack's NCAA Tournament résumé and what an overall bad weekend for true bubble teams means for the field of 68.

And don’t worry, UNC and Duke fans—you’re heard loud and clear, with plenty of your calls sprinkled in as well.

OG Mailbag: Trust the Trekkie or Star Wars guy? | Who is responsible for making sports "political"? | Coaching tenures? Feb 27, 2026

Show notes

It’s OG Mailbag time. Ovies & Giglio respond to Virginia fans who swear the Cavaliers catch too many strays on this podcast (do they though?). Plus: what’s the correct opening song at a Lionel Richie concert? And would you trust a random person wearing a Star Trek or Star Wars shirt? On the sports side, the guys dig into Carolina Hurricanes hockey, NC State roster construction, and just how long the current trio of Triangle college basketball coaches might realistically stick around in the NIL/transfer portal era. There's also a more serious conversation about the emotional week USA Hockey experienced before the NHL resumed play. All that and more on OG Mailbag.

Show notes

It’s a Butcher’s Market OG Live and Giglio unveils his brand-new “Blue Blood Tiers System” — a way to rank traditional college basketball powers in the post-pandemic world of NIL, the transfer portal, and revenue sharing. The results — and the tiers — might surprise you.

Then it’s time for “Seeded Territory” with OG Media Senior Bracketologist Patrick Stevens. With just two weekends left in the regular season, he breaks down his latest NCAA Tournament bracket projections, bubble movement, and what ACC teams must do to lock in their seeding. CBS Sports college basketball insider Matt Norlander joins to talk ACC coaching carousel rumors — which jobs are safe, who’s on the hot seat, and which coaches could jump when the season ends.

Plus, your OG Sports Phone calls.
