robbie triano hates this michigan state team and is on the record saying so.

a former manhattan official might have planted the receipt that ended jamar samuels' career. did fireball matt solve a decade-old mystery today?

the gang is joined by robbie triano from siriusxm's big 12 radio and midwest madness from the ten12 network to preview our upset picks in the first round, our regional finals predictions and who we think will take home the trophy when it's all said and done.

chef discusses the nuances of making a purple relish, none of us predict k-state to win the big 12 tournament, and if UCF had a food item, it would be board shorts with a side of regret.

grant flanders from k-state online/on3 joined us to recap the wildcat victory against oklahoma state, and preview the games against the fighting sister norman jeans and west virginia old farts. 

the gang looks adversity in the face and slaps the crap out of it by previewing the big 12 tournament race and k-state's seed-line in march, and pairs that with some recruiting discussion. that's only the reward for those who stick it out through our margarita/tajin discussion.

k-state's coming off of a 2-0 stretch against top-20 teams, including a massive home win against baylor to complete the season sweep against coach tang's mentor. the gang gives markquis nowell and keyontae johnson their flowers, and instead of "guys talkin' ball," we cap it all off with "guys talkin' law" - a discussion on some of the wild sh!t going on outside of our k-state/big 12 bubble in the college men's hoops world.

we start the episode with a somewhat inspiring richard nixon quote (weird). chef has yet another wild tin-foil hat conspiracy, this time involving collusion between yormark and tang. phillip slavin joins us for guys talkin' ball where we discuss our final four predictions. the vibes aren't bad the entire time, don't worry!

is brett yormark an opportunist and nothing more? should gonzaga join in basketball? we had a fun live room tonight and discuss all of that and more as the cats enter the final stretch of big 12 play with a relatively light schedule in comparison to others.

once again, two-thirds of the bald brotherhood held this thing together to discuss a big win against florida (that continues to age well), a loss at pAFH, and preview not only the upcoming matchup, but also where we think the standings will end up for k-state and the rest of the big 12 when regular season play ceases on march 4th. special shoutout to @will_KSU for hopping in seat #3 tonight!

we're without fireball matt tonight, but we get an audition for his role, talk about a 4-dimensional chess tournament idea from chef, and have a grand old time.
