Recorded live from the concourse of T-Mobile Arena before the NCAA national championship game in Las Vegas, it's our annual 'State of the Game' shows. We break down the national final between Denver and Wisconsin, plus get into all the issues with numerous guests.

Among them, Frozen Four veterana Neil Koepke, formerly of the Lansing State Journal, and Bernie Corbett of BU radio, share old stories. Then David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, a Wisconsin alum who has been covering the Golden Knights, talks the Vegas sports scene. And Scott Wheeler of The Athletic breaks down the upcoming NHL Draft with some of the top names in college hockey, including Gavin McKenna.
