Champ Week Mega-Show ft. John Fanta, Stanford Steve, and Bryant’s Jared Grasso & Peter Kiss

On today’s jam-packed episode, we start off discussing the wild week of mid-major conference tournaments including Chattanooga’s March miracle. Then we move on to the ridiculous NCAA transition phase rule that has left Bellarmine ineligible for the NCAA Tournament despite winning the A-SUN tournament. And before we get to our three-pack of interviews, we give a shoutout to Dickie V who announced he is cancer-free. The guys has an idea for CBS.

Then we welcome on the King of the Big East, John Fanta to break down the Big East tournament. John gives his thoughts on the conference as a whole, which Big East team people are sleeping on, and a dark horse to cut down the nets at Madison Square Garden this weekend. Plus - John makes some summer plans with the boys.

Next, ESPN’s Stanford Steve hops on the show to talk some Pac-12 hoops, best bets, and other tournament thoughts. How many teams does Steve think have a realistic shot to win the whole thing? There’s one big team that he may be removing from his list (Marty isn’t happy about it). Plus - Steve gives his best NCAA Tournament gambling win and his worst loss ever.

And finally, we welcome on two of the champions of the NEC, Bryant head coach Jared Grasso and star guard Peter Kiss. Bryant dismantled Wagner in the conference championship on Tuesday in a game that was marred by a fight in the stands involving players and fans. Coach Grasso talks about how it feels to win a spot in this year’s NCAA Tournament and makes a convincing argument as to why the Bulldogs deserve a higher seed than expected.

Bulldogs guard Peter Kiss, the nation’s leading scorer, talked about the crazy environment at Tuesday’s championship game and his demeanor on the court.

Plus - Rico gets Grasso and Kiss to call out a big time opponent in their potential NCAA Tournament matchup.

We wrap up the show giving our picks for the ACC, SEC and Big Ten conference tournaments.
