Welcome to Episode 23 of the No Conference for Old Men Podcast.

The Cougars are now 32-4, after overcoming some one-sided officiating & 4 starters fouling out to beat Texas A&M 100-95 in OT!  This was a complete team effort, where the entire roster had to dig in & contribute to pull out the win.  That included key contributions by Ramon Walker (who we all thought was lost for the season) & walk-on Ryan Elvin.  It was truly just "survive and advance", and that now allows us to play our 2nd weekend games within the state of Texas in Dallas!   

So we'll begin this Sweet 16 episode with some thoughts on the 1st 2 games of the tourney, focusing primarily on the A&M one.  Then provide a preview of the Duke Sweet 16 matchup, while keeping an eye on potential opponents in a possible Elite 8 battle.  And we'll wrap up with a re-projection of our brackets w/ the Final 16 teams left.
