  • What was Jon chewing on?

    Jon is a pro and has a great podcast, but on his this is March Podcast he sounded like he was eating or sucking on a cough drop or could not clear his saliva. It was ongoing and terribly distracting. Come on, Jon! Don’t eat during your podcast.

    No mention of Toppin’s injury and Big12 losing reigning POTY. Probably the most impactful injury in MBB. Disappointing!

    Great podcast!!!

    You have mentioned that top 6 are solid but if one team finished in top 6 that is projected to start outside of top 6, who would it be? Which of the top 6 will struggle the most?
