In the second hour of tonight’s show, Matt Pauley discusses ESPN’s “way, way, way too early” 2024 MLB power rankings which are not too kind to the St. Louis Cardinals, and Bleacher Report’s claim that the Aaron Nola’s top landing spot next season will be St. Louis. Bob Ramsey, the play-by-play voice of the Billikens, joins Matt next to preview SLU’s first regular season game on Monday vs Southern Indiana, and which players stand out the most to him. Matt wraps up the show pondering what good a mid-season NBA tournament does for the league.
