  • Cobb with slight of hand

    In response to GP question Cobb lumps Kansas, Duke, UNC and Indiana together as big brands not living up to past standards. The only problem is the stated standards he uses are NOT the same. He speaks of a couple not getting to second weekend and one not making tourney. Neither is true of Duke so what is the standard for Duke? Winning a natty!! You’re not fooling anyone Cobb. Duke is nowhere near underachieving like the other three. Get your facts straight.

  • Should be better

    Norlander often has good info to share. Parish comes off very oddly and is quite disrespectful/immature

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Elite Eight Saturday REACTION! Arizona overpowers Purdue; Illinois runs away from Iowa + Tom Fornelli joins!
Q: What stood out most about Illinois' performance against Iowa?
The defense, especially in the second half, that smothered Iowa and allowed very few high-percentage looks, complemented by Illinois' disciplined offense and key contributions from Wagler and Stoyakovic.
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.
