Will and the Matts talk about the end of the Women's Basketball NCAA Tournament and some brief Indiana women's basketball news before discussing a roundtable of a variety of topics about the season. They each give input on who they think were the team's MVP, most improved player, best newcomer, the best game and even favorite moment.

Henry and Caleb are joined by award winning journalist Kimberly Dozier on her time as a foreign correspondent for CBS News, her memoir, "Breathing The Fire," Which chronicles the car bombing that killed two members of her camera crew, which she narrowly survived, as well as her time going back to the region with The Associated Press and her most recent work for Time Magazine and Rolling Stone Magazine, as well as her recent lecture at IU, "Be Careful What you Wish for: When Washington, D.C. turns away."

Evan, Bradley and guest Will Foley of the Payoff Pod look back at Indiana bowing out of the NCAA Tournament in the second round. Then, the three break down Indiana's transfer portal shopping list — including those who are leaving and one who's already coming. Plus, Evan breaks down Albany.

Will and the Matts discuss No. 1 seed Indiana women's basketball NCAA Tournament results: a blowout first round win over Tennessee Tech and an upset loss to No. 9 seed Miami (FL). The trio breaks down what went wrong in the game and give takeaways about Grace Berger's career and what the future holds for the program. They end the show on a light note, predicting the men's and women's Final Four results.

Will and the Matts recap how Indiana women's basketball fared in the Big Ten Tournament: a win over Michigan State and the biggest blown lead in tournament history in a loss to Ohio State. They discuss what went wrong in the collapse and if there are any concerns in the future because of it. They finish talking big picture and even give predictions on the men's Big Ten Tournament.

Emma, Bradley and Evan look ahead to the Big Ten Tournament, previewing Indiana's potential matchups and all six teams on IU's half of the bracket. Plus, looking back on the week that was (briefly, because who wants to remember that Iowa game). The beat also predicts the outcome of the Big Ten Tournament and how their trip to Evan's hometown will go.

Cohosts Henry Holloway and Caleb Wood interview IU student and rapper and musician "Stevo," on his newly released single, "SRT," out now on Spotify. Apple Music, iTunes, and Deezer. The trio dive into Stevo's journey as a musician and the opportunities he's taken advantage of through The Bloomington and Indy music scenes, as they also discuss how he has evolved as an artist and lyricist, ranging from him dabbling in rock to headlining shows at venues such as The Emerson in Indianapolis and local ones like The Reef, right here in Bloomington.
