Today starts one of the greatest stretches of the year - day time college hoops with a bunch of tournaments starting up. It's beautiful whether you work from home, work in an office or are a student. No one is actually doing work so listen to us old men ramble about the Maui Invitational's setup and how it screwed up our lives. We go on about Florida and Villanova plus some previews of the Charleston and Myrtle Beach Tournaments. Darnell Rogers is a 5'2" living legend. Finally, we fix Memphis/Tennessee, no need to thank us. 

Doing something a bit different for today's show. Reags is riding solo and answering a handful of questions from the mailbag. However, he has to start by addressing Kentucky and telling you what main reason makes him not worried about the team and then how to fix some of the problems. Then he gets into SEC bubble teams, if Maryland will make a Final Four, SeasonLongPool talk and more. 

We're a few days away from the start of Thanksgiving tournaments so why not discuss one of the more fascinating programs out there - Illinois. Who better to discuss that with than Barstool's very own Carl, who graduated from Illinois and is from Chicago. Run through the history of Chicago and Illinois and just where Carl is mentally with the Illinois program. Plus, we get into how important Brad Underwood is to the program after Carl met and talked to him. Of course there's plenty of heartbreak talk too. 

Somehow the biggest story of the weekend was a Monmouth player stealing the ball, dunking and getting a technical down 50 to Kansas. It was awesome. Naturally, people hated it because people hate everything. One of those guys who knows exactly what's going on is former Monmouth player Dan Pillari (@danpillari) who joins Reags to talk about starting the infamous bench mob. More importantly we get into the dunk by George Papas which led to a fight between Kansas fans and Dan. Find out why UCLA fans invited him to tailgate and how the bench mob even started. 

Knicks Therapy is back this week but buddy, is it different. Kristaps returns to Madison Square Garden for the first time and that Latvian snake gets swept by our beloved Knicks. Clem and Reags talk through the game, how Marcus Morris won over our hearts and how Dennis Smith Jr., should be in the Knicks Hall of Fame. Is it the most important win for the franchise since 1999? Perhaps. Do we care? Absolutely not. Again, the Knicks swept Kristaps and that's all you need to know. 

It's Mike Rutherford's (@cardchronicle) weekly visit to the show and considering he's a Louisville fan seems about right to happen after UK's historic loss to Evansville. Mike roasts them and then becomes a friend for Reags to talk through it all. What does it mean in the grand scheme of things? Why people are actually wrong about saying it means nothing. 

Simply put who the hell is even good in college basketball? Sam Vecenie of The Athletic and Game Theory Podcast joins Reags to try and answer that very question. UNC? Someone thinks they are decent. Kentucky? They were good. Michigan State? Maybe. Why is it so damn weird in college hoops this year? 

Reags is joined by Arkansas head coach Eric Musselman to talk about, well, social media. Muss is one of the coaches in the country that really lets loose with his shirtless celebrations after winning MWC titles and now the recreation of pictures with recruits. How did he have to adjust to college life after being an NBA guy? What are the differences? Muss also talks about life at Arkansas including an unreal story about students coming up to him at a football game.

The band is back together! Former podcast partners Ben Brust and Reags get back together for the first time this season to, what else, argue about the Big 10. However, they actually agree on one team being overvalued - something that some would consider a hot take. If you remember the old podcast, you probably know how this one goes. If not, sit back and enjoy the new one. 

It's Friday which means one thing and one thing only. Take a seat on the couch and get ready for some Knicks Therapy with Clem and Reags. We have to get ready for Kristaps and the Mavs tonight somehow, so here we go. Bobby Portis speaking in 3rd person has us ready to raise his jersey to the rafters plus will people stop complaining about RJ Barrett's minutes? Come for the Steve Mills slander and disastrous results, stay for the hope of landing one of these three guards.
