Barstool Bench Mob

On today’s show, Jake and Marty are joined by Reags, one of Barstool’s leading college hoops bloggers and Kentucky Wildcat diehard. And that is exactly where we start the show: Auburn took down Reags’ Wildcats on Saturday (04:20). Did the game live up to the hype? Marty says yes but Reags doesn’t think so.

The boys go conference by conference to see how each was affected by said upsets, starting with the Pac-12 (11:40) -- Is UCLA legit? Is Arizona the new favorite? -- The guys then talk Tennessee and YIKES, they are not looking good, while Kentucky keeps proving themselves over and over again (21:33).

The crew has turned the corner on Wisconsin and there is nothing bad they can say, Marty is a believer (44:22). Finally, Jake ends the show with Love/Hate (48:37) and Beating the Buzzer (54:57).

The Big East (18:58), the Big 12 (23:23), and the SEC, specifically the disrespect LSU is getting (28:19) which is the perfect segway into this week's guest.

Marty starts off the show reacting to the games and teams being affected by Covid and asks how the writers are viewing them (01:56)?
