  • Great Pod !!!!!!

    I’ve been an all year long listener for many seasons. The topics you cover are always very interesting to me and presented in a way that feels like chatting with friends in a bar. I love laughing with you on your Final Four and One picks. Keep up the great work.

  • Disrespectdful

    These two guys go out of the their way to mock Christians every episode for no reason.

    They mostly brag about themselves, repeat each others points, and have very little to offer on basketball analysis.

  • Explaining Gonzaga

    A worthwhile discussion for your pod might be why Gonzaga could be so high in the NET (& w/ Parrish) despite their lack of Top 20 wins. It is striking how empty their resume is yet how they remain in Top 10. Thanks!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

LISTEN: Norlander interviews the committee chair on CBS Sports HQ
Q: What justified Vanderbilt's placement on the five line despite some chatter they might sneak in on the back end?
The committee considered Vanderbilt's quality wins down the stretch, including recent SEC tournament results, and the overall resume balance against comparable teams, which supported a five-line placement rather than a closer back-end spot.
LISTEN: Norlander interviews the committee chair on CBS Sports HQ
Q: On the bracketing protocols, were there teams that had to be moved specifically because of bracketing principles, aside from BYU who can't play on Sundays?
We relaxed our bracketing principles in the opening-round context to avoid repeat matchups, especially given how the ACC and SEC teams were populated in the bracket, ensuring we don't violate other principles for post-game matchups.
LISTEN: Norlander interviews the committee chair on CBS Sports HQ
Q: When did the final field of 68 get determined from an at-large standpoint, and was it known earlier or did it come together late on Saturday night?
We knew by the end of Saturday night, and we had contingency brackets ready as results flowed in, with changes made today as results came in.
Has Boozer 🔒 up NPOY? Kansas 62-0 on Mondays since '01; pay attention to 25-3 Virginia; Tuesday's bubble winners/losers
Q: Is Cameron Boozer a lock for National Player of the Year given his recent streaks?
Yes, Boozer is presented as the leading candidate with sustained double-digit scoring and rebounds, high efficiency, and clear impact on Duke's performance, though the panel notes it's not completely settled and acknowledges challengers like AJ DeBonse.
EOCBB on CBSSN: Duke's ACC supremacy; Is No. 1 Arizona really the best team in the sport? Nebraska and the Big Ten hierarchy; Does the SEC have a great team?
Q: Do you think Nebraska is going to win at least a share of the Big Ten title?
Nebraska has overperformed expectations, but it's likely that Michigan, with a strong team, may win the Big Ten title.
