    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?

    John, love your show. I love everything about you and your commitment to college basketball.

    However, we have to correct some of your grammar you have a bad habit of saying as went or had went instead of has gone

    The correct phrase is has gone. "Gone" is the past participle of the verb "to go" and is used with auxiliary verbs like "has," "have," or "had" to form the present perfect tense, whereas "went" is the simple past tense and is used on its own, not with "has".
