Join Caroline Fenton, Jason Fitz & Ice Young as they unravel the madness from the first week of March on the latest episode of College Basketball Power Hour! The trio starts off with a recap of the biggest moments from the weekend including Trey Holloman & Michigan State’s routing of rival Michigan, Bree Hall’s dominant defense for South Carolina in the SEC women’s tournament and Steph Curry announcing he’ll join Davidson athletics as assistant General Manager. Several women’s conference tournaments were decided over the weekend with Kara Lawson, Duke women’s head coach, hoisting the ACC trophy and Hailey van Lith leading TCU to their first Big 12 title.

Caroline, Fitz & Ice debate which four teams are worthy of the no. 1 seeds in the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments. For the men, could Auburn lose out on being the overall no. 1 seed after two losses to round-out their regular season? And if so, is Duke’s strength of schedule tough enough to give them the edge? The Houston Cougars have proved they’re worthy of a no. 1 seed, but where does that leave Florida, Tennessee & Michigan State? In the women’s tournament, USC & UCLA have clear cases for being no. 1 seeds, but could UConn be left out of the top teams despite beating Dawn Staley’s Gamecocks? Plus, you can’t forget about Texas and Notre Dame!

To wrap, the trio previews the SEC men’s tournament which will likely prove to be a must-watch from the first round all the way to the championship game.

Caroline Fenton, Jason Fitz & Ice Young react to all the college basketball action from last weekend. The UConn men’s team reminded us they’re NOT the same team they were last season or even the year before after a big loss to St. John’s. Meanwhile, Michigan State men’s basketball might have solidified themselves as a top 10 team at just the right time as they took down in-state rival, Michigan. And is anyone safe at the top of the women’s game now that previously no. 1 ranked Notre Dame has lost to NC State?

The trio give their “Power Hour Power Rankings” of the Women’s Wooden Award favorites. Are we overlooking what Paige Bueckers is doing because we’ve become numb to greatness? Is Lauren Betts being snubbed despite only having one loss this season with UCLA? JuJu Watkins is the leader according to sports books and, ya know what? It’s hard to argue with her jaw-dropping stat lines, dominant play and the fact she’s doing it all as a sophomore at USC.

Alex Karaban, UConn Huskies men’s basketball forward, joins Fitz to talk about everything UConn. Is there pressure on the team to three-peat? And what do Karaban and the rest of the team REALLY think about Dan Hurley’s antics? All this and more on this episode of College Basketball Power Hour.

Caroline Fenton, Jason Fitz & Ice Young recap the biggest storylines of the 2024-25 season so far to catch up our football listeners on what they might have missed.

Keep your eyes on Cooper Flagg, the superstar freshman from Duke, and on what the UConn men’s team is up to after their back-to-back national title wins.

The Power Hour crew also shares which matchups they’re most excited for this upcoming weekend.

Jason Fitz is joined by former UNC coach Roy Williams to talk about the current state of college hoops, Dan Hurley’s antics and to share highlights from his partnership with Verizon to pay off the debt of several North Carolina Hurricane Helene survivors.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are the first-ever College Football Playoff National Champions of the 12-team era. Caroline Fenton, Jason Fitz & Adam Breneman react to the biggest game of the season as Ohio State beats Notre Dame 34-23. Buckeye QB Will Howard led his team to victory in a nearly perfect performance behind yet another new Ohio State offensive line combination that stepped up and got the job done. On the other hand, Notre Dame started with a gritty drive led by Riley Leonard to open the scoring, but it wasn’t a sustainable game plan for the Fighting Irish to find success.

The trio name their final ‘Power House’ and “Power Outage” of the 2024-25 season. They give props to Ohio State’s third down offense, offer criticism of a CFP schedule that conflicts with the NFL playoffs and more. Plus, after back-to-back national champions from the Big 10, has the SEC lost its status as the most dominant conference in college football?

The first-ever College Football Playoff National Championship of the 12-team playoff era features Ohio State vs. Notre Dame on Monday January 20th. Caroline Fenton, Jason Fitz & Adam Breneman break down the matchup from every angle and share the keys to victory for each team. The Buckeyes have proven themselves to be the best team in the country over their last three playoff games, but could bad penalties cost them in this game vs. Notre Dame? Meanwhile, Marcus Freeman has the Fighting Irish playing better than ever, but can their defense stack up against Ohio State’s offensive weapons?

The trio looks at some of the best player props in this game and pick if they think the bet will “Crash Out or Cash Out” including Riley Leonard’s passing attempts, Will Howard’s passing touchdowns, Jeremiyah Love’s rushing yards, and more.
