The Ringer’s Tate Frazier is joined by Eamonn Brennan to discuss Coach Cal’s PR redemption tour following the Kentucky blowout against Miami (2:40), Arkansas’s much needed win over Duke, and the greatest offensive half we’ve seen from North Carolina in a minute. Next, Tate and Eamonn discuss Virginia’s return to form as an elite defense (28:50), Louisville’s snubbing from the ACC-SEC challenge and Kenny Payne’s wild post-game comments about Ty-laur Johnson’s tights (41:30), and Villanova’s disappointing loss stateside after their win in the Bahamas. Finally, Tate ends the podcast with a recap of the most ridiculous college basketball story lines of the week, including “book guy” and George W. Bush’s fandom (52:30).
