Justin and Painter preview Auburn basketball’s NCAA Tournament matchup against Iowa. The guys talk about the Hawkeyes’ elite offense, their susceptible defense and how much these Tigers’ legacies would be affected by a run in March Madness. They also tackle the age-old question: 280 or 85/65 to Birmingham?

After a spin through the rest of the bracket, they switch over to football. Justin talks about what he saw in an extended practice viewing window Monday. Painter finds himself agreeing with a wise saying from the podium.
