Matt Norlander is on the road in Big Ten country, and Hartzell is dealing with a NC snowstorm - so the fellas are going with a special 'fast break' edition of CSN before the wifi crashes.

We crammed a lot of hoops talk into not a lot of time. We got a week to go until March, folks. Time to lock in with us!

Lots to unpack from the weekend, highlighted of course by #1 vs #2 in Tuscaloosa. What that Auburn performance means for a potential all-time great team if the Tigers can do the thing in March...plus Wisconsin's ascension, Houston's toughness, UConn's meltdown, and the tragedy that was those Adidas uniforms from the weekend that was. A lot to discuss from Saturday & Sunday on the hardwood, plus we head to Richmond to talk with VCU head coach Ryan Odom about his team, the A-10, and Dave Matthews Band. Hartzell and Norlander have takes from the SNL 50 show on Sunday night, plus a lookahead to some mid-week hoops games you need to be on the lookout for.

A LOADED Gauer Hour. A breakdown of USC's win over UCLA and what it means for both teams' NCAA Tournament seedings, a monster week for Texas with two top-10 victories, and a conversation around how much of a bubble actually exists, given some of the week's other results. Plus, Rachel Galligan jumps on to discuss perhaps the most fascinating race of any conference, the Big 12, with a three-way tie for first heading into the weekend, and five teams separated by just a game. That plus the usual preview with a mega Sunday (Texas-LSU; South Carolina-UConn; UNC-NC State), and good games sprinkled in every day next week.

It's Valentines Day weekend, folks. Time to find that special someone in your life and curl up next to a fire and open up Jerry Palm's bracketology and set the mood for a romantic night of NET rankings and quadrant 1 wins. The hoops action so far this week has been elite - going back to Tuesday night's games PLUS some of the upsets on Wednesday - it's been a loaded set of contests so far ... and oh by the way this weekend is obviously stacked. Auburn and Alabama will face off in #1 vs #2 and who better to break it down than Chris Stewart from the Crimson Tide Sports Network to talk about the rivalry and what Saturday means for both programs. Plenty to look forward to from Saturday and Sunday games that are scheduled to be played - and we wrap with a special 'Now Spinning' segment that breaks down the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees. Absolutely stacked lineup of artists just like the games this weekend!

A lot happened over the weekend - not just the Chiefs dynasty ending with a blowout loss to the Eagles - but beaucoup college basketball action, highlighted by the #1 and #2 teams both going down on the same day. Norlander and Hartzell break down the Auburn & Duke losses, plus the Johnnies impressive win at UConn back on Friday night (is Gus Johnson washed?). Friend of the show and overall smart guy Evan Miyakawa joins the program to talk about his team ratings, resumes, and more from his site EvanMiya.com with the guys. You might be shocked to learn who his resume rankings have OUT of the NCAA Tournament with a month left to go in the regular season, but some really good stuff from Evan on his site and his processes. What did the fellas think of Kendrick Lamar's halftime show? Now Spinning wraps the show after a very brief lookahead to the weeknight dance card of games to watch (spoiler: Tuesday night is a doozie).

If you've been living under a rock for the last couple of weeks, you might not be aware that college basketball is absolutely thriving in the mecca of NYC these days. St Johns has reeled off 9 in a row after an impressive W at the Garden against Marquette and are starting down a showdown at UConn Friday night. That - plus everything else you've missed from the midweek hoops - leads the show with Norlander and Hartzell today. Plus Mike DeCourcy from The Sporting News drops by to talk NPOY races, and how Flagg vs Broome stacks up against some of the more recent (last 40 years) notable contests. Weekend preview - where there is disagreement on the quality of Saturday's slate - and some Super Bowl predictions round out the show. Is Kendrick going to go solo for the full halftime show? Both guys agree we're in store for potentially an all-timer for Sunday's musical performance.
