There's one undefeated team left in college basketball and it belongs to Travis Steele, head coach of the Miami (OH) RedHawks, who are 24-0 and looking to keep it rolling heading into March. Norlander and Hartzell open the show talking to Coach Steele about basketball, non-conference scheduling, and cold plunges (which you'll learn is a critical part of Steele's day-to-day). After the deep dive on the 'Hawks, the guys unpack a wild last couple of days on the hardwood where just about everybody not named Michigan or Houston has picked up an L. Hartzell has jokes about the Big 12's new LED glass court, and questions the 'Holy Hoops' story that Norlander broke earlier in the week about teams traveling to Rome to potentially play basketball in front of the Pope next November. Weekend preview, Olympics banter, and 'Now Spinning' wrap the show and folks, that's the show.

Goodness that was a sports weekend, wasn't it kids? Super Bowl was underwhelming but the college basketball delivered in a big way, starting on Friday night in the Big East and rolling all the way into the wee hours of Sunday morning. Right off the jump Hartzell & Norlander bring in Joe Ovies from OG Triangle Media to unpack what we all saw in Chapel Hill on Saturday; the buzzer-beater, the court-storming, and the fallout from yet another Duke/UNC classic. It always delivers, folks! What does Joe think about the Duke angle from another rare loss that happened the same way they seemingly all do, plus where the 'Heels can go from here, building off a big rivalry win. Hartzell is convinced the best game of the weekend was actually in the Big Ten between Michigan State and Illinois, plus other observations from an A+ weekend on the hardwood. And yes, there in Lindsey Vonn discussion and Bad Bunny reaction in 'Now Spinning' which is, as always, worth waiting for. Great show, no notes.

It was another loaded Thursday night across the country, with five ranked-vs-ranked games, plus OT in Athens, an upset in Iowa City and more! Rob Joyce and Megan Gauer recap everything from an impactful week nationally, talk about a wild race to get into the top-16, and give kudos to some teams who have cooled any bubble talk with some pivotal victories.

Not one, not two, how about THREE court storms on Wednesday night and we're talking about all of 'em here on CSN. Matt Norlander joins Stephen Hartzell to break down all the drama from the weekday games, including Portland's shocking upset of the Zags, college basketball's latest villain, and BYU's road win problems. Hartzell dunks on Duke's on-court shoes from Tuesday night, plus a mea culpa on Darryn Peterson after his heroics (and 35-minutes played) in Lubbock earlier in the week. Speaking of heroics, how 'bout the Billikens?! Josh Schertz is the head coach at Saint Louis and he joins the show to talk about the incredible season they're having in the A-10, including serving drinks after last weekend's win, Robbie Avila's foggy goggles, and being 'bullet-proof' as a team on both sides of the ball. Really good stuff from Schertz - including his Super Bowl pick and preferred food spread for Sunday's game - followed by a weekend preview and some brief DMB Summer Tour discussion on 'Now Spinning' to wrap the show. Loaded program today, folks. Absolutely stacked show to get you ready for an A+ weekend of ball

Hartzell is on his second straight week of being at home with the kids because of all the snow in North Carolina, so him and Norlander fire up some early morning CSN to recap the weekend, starting with the Sunday results of Florida over Alabama and Illinois doing it again on the road against a top-5 team. The guys discuss the Darryn Peterson story from the weekend, because no one is doubting the guy is elite, but is he really hurt or just cosplaying as hurt? The KU faithful are starting to get concerned and so, too, is Hartzell. How long can Bill Self and Co keep this going when their star simply isn't playing for the entire second half? Special guest Brian Boesch, who is the radio play-by-play voice of the Wolverines, joins the show to talk Michigan at Michigan State from last Friday and what the B1G race looks like down the road when Michigan visits the Illini in a few weeks. GRAMMY's recap to end the show for 'Now Spinning' because Hartzell was not impressed and thinks CBS mailed it in for their final show.

It wasn't the busiest week of the season, but there was still plenty to recap from the week. But boy oh boy is it coming as the calendar flips to February. Sunday and Thursday each feature SIX top-25 showdowns. Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce run through all of it and discuss what the updated tournament picture looks like as we have single-digit games remaining for most in the regular season.

The most popular 'Now Spinning' segment we do every year returns for the Grammy's this weekend; Norlander attempts to 'spot the fake' in the nominees this year - and Hartzell has the help of AI, unlike in season's past - so you have that to look forward to at the end of the show. The hoops portion of today's program is loaded as we recap boots-on-the-ground takeaways from Norlander's trips to Provo & Nashville earlier this week. Is Nebraska better than we all thought even though they lost at Michigan? What about the rest of the B1G including a Purdue team that's suddenly dropped 3 in a row? Hartzell asks the tough questions about Saint Louis not getting enough love from Norlander and the rest of the national media, and why we need to embrace some A-10 basketball this Friday night! Full weekend preview is in the offing, including the Blitz making it's debut on the hardwood this season - starting at 1 PM ET on Saturday we'll bounce around with live whiparound coverage of all these games, available exclusively on the Varsity Network app & YouTube. Check us out!

If you weren't locked into the college basketball on Saturday you really missed out. Three different freshmen went off for 40+ points, in total there were seven diaper dandies that dropped 30+, and oh by the way the actual games were pretty damned good too. Matt Norlander spent the weekend in Utah hitting the slopes and watching the AJ Dybantsa show, he's got boots on the ground for Monday night's marquee matchup with Arizona visiting BYU. So full recap of everything that went down on Saturday - including a wellness check on Hartzell who is snowed in with a couple inches of sleet in the Piedmont! Some brief discussion on the Monday night card which features Duke hosting Louisville in the appetizer. Tuesday night is loaded too with not one but TWO 20-0 teams taking the floor. And in 'Now Spinning' some words on the Goose vs Geese debate which has really broken contain after the SNL performance over the weekend. Lots to get to and just one football game left on the schedule so what's your excuse? Exactly, you don't have one.
