We’re giving you a little early present for the weekend: the Friday pod late on a Thursday night. This ep opens with Big East chatter and predictions for the weekend, then heads right for Kansas (14:20) and its formal response to the NCAA for its notice of allegations. Parrish and Norlander turn their attention to the SEC, how many bids and where those teams will be seeded (29:30) before an always-entertaining Final Four + 1 (36:45) picks segment that as always takes some unexpected turns. Last weekend of the regular season, folks. Enjoy it!
