In this episode of Four Corners, Ben Norwine, Luke Loewenstein, and Hurricane Mitch Fairless are back in the lab talking college hoops, this time joined by Jacob Dunaway. They kick things off by revisiting their weekly picks and breaking down a slate of games that sparked plenty of debate, including Miami (OH) vs. Kent State and Illinois vs. Purdue. From coaching decisions to big-time player performances (and, yes, some questionable officiating), the guys dig into what actually swung these matchups. Jacob holds his own, especially when talking Miami hoops and standout guard Delrico Gillespie, and brings real insight into what teams are up against as conference races tighten up.

As the conversation rolls on, the focus shifts to home-court advantage and why it matters so much in games like Houston vs. Texas Tech. The crew doesn’t shy away from strong takes—touching on UNC’s struggles, SLU’s upside as a dangerous mid-major, and where certain programs really stand right now. They close things out with a fun (and slightly unhinged) debate about what winning a national championship actually means at different levels of college basketball.
