Reags gets together with Clem for this episode to have a therapy session about their beloved New York Knicks. The season is over, but as everyone knows it's officially Knicks SZN as they attempt to find a new head coach, have a star going through a torn ACL injury and have a top-10 pick in the upcoming draft.


This episode goes all over the place. The guys talk about the Jeff Hornacek firing and what they made of his era before getting into potential candidates for the open position. There's a trip down memory lane as they talk about the 90s teams and the Allan Houston free agency signing. 


After that they talk about the draft and who they'd like to see the Knicks pick before talking themselves into getting Kawhi Leonard. It's truly off the rails as there is depression, tears, laughter and flat out therapy.

66: Knicks Therapy Session With Clem

Villanova has won the 2018 national championship with a 79-62 victory over Michigan, which of course means we had to recap it right away. Reags was joined by Ben Brust for the episode to talk about the game, but more importantly Villanova as a whole. This is now the second title in three years to go with 4 Big East titles in five years. 


The story was obviously Donte DiVincenzo going off for 31 points as the sixth man. Brust and Reags talk about his performance, Jalen Brunson's career through three years at Villanova and the development of the other players on the squad. They also get into the historical standpoint of this team when we heard all along there wasn't a scary team in the country.

65: Villanova Wins The National Championship

The Final Four is set as we know Loyola Chicago, Michigan, Villanova and Kansas will all be heading to the Final Four. The first two weeks of the NCAA Tournament have been highly entertaining with a bunch of close games and obvious upsets.


So with that said, there's a massive show here as Reags is joined by four guests - one associated with each school - to talk about the Final Four. He is joined by former Villanova player Ryan Arcidiacono, former Michigan player Zack Novak, Scott Phillips of NBC Sports and NBC Sports Chicago and Chris Stone of Sporting News to recap the Elite Eight games, talk about their respective teams and preview the Final Four games.

63: Recapping The NCAA Tournament's Opening Weekend With Ben Brust

Reags is joined by SB Nation's Mike Rutherford on Selection Sunday to breakdown the bracket. The two get started with general takeaways with the bracket, but of course there's the ultimate question. Would you rather watch that bracket reveal show every year or Jennifer Hudson's version of One Shining Moment? 


After that they go into game breakdowns. Who are the teams that they think can pull off upsets or make a deep run? What are the best conspiracy theories out there? What teams got snubbed/didn't deserve to get in? They naturally get off the rails talking about a new tournament idea for some of the worst teams in the country.
