    Love the show but in last few weeks, GP’s mic has gotten painful to listen to. Too much bass, popping his P’s, all hard consonants are a problem. P, B, T, makes it a hard listen.

    These guys are great! Fun mixture of hoops and life. Entertaining and insightful. Keep up the great work.

    But as a Duke alum, how can you leave off Marcus Paige’s double-pump 3 from your top 10. No honorable mention or bringing it up when talking about Jenkins’ shot?!? Amazing.

    Oh, and Ali Forokmanesh’s shot for UNI!! Kevin Harlan’s bewildered and excited cry of "You can't be serious with that shot!" is one of the most famous calls in March Madness history.

  • Calipari missed on plenty

    On this pod GP and Norlander railed against Tourney expansion! I agree 100%. 64 was best! Let it rip Norlander!

    But saying Cal “never missed” on recruits like Pope just did is erroneous. Did he forget BIG misses like Zion Williamson, James Wiseman, Myles Bridges. Paolo Banchero, Luke Kennard, Shabazz Muhammad & DJ Jeffries. All embarrassing misses. Maybe Pope can recover from this miss.
