Mike Boynton has had one of the strangest seasons of any coach in college basketball. His team was banned from the NCAA tournament in June, but an appeal that has not been ruled on yet means that, as of the first week of April, there is still a chance they could end up dancing. Why is that relevant? Because they have the No. 1 player in the country on their roster in Cade Cunningham. What a trip. He joins Tim Miles this week to talk about this season and whether or not he's actually getting any sleep.

Mike Young is one of the most down-to-earth coaches that you are going to find in the college ranks. A small-town guy, he spent time with Tim Miles, another small-town guy, talking about what it takes to build up to being a high-major coach from the lowest levels of the sport. This was a terrific interview.

Darian DeVries has one of the best teams that we've ever seen at Drake this season. They're sitting at 13-0 on the year despite the fact that they lost Liam Robbins to a transfer this offseason. He joined Tim Miles this week to discuss his team, tell some Arch Madness stories and discuss who would win in a fight, him or his brother, who played in the NFL for 12 years.

Colorado State set a Mountain West record on Saturday when they erased a 26 point deficit at San Diego State, beating the Aztecs on a four-point play with 12.3 seconds left. It's the biggest comeback in college basketball this season and just the fifth time this decade that a team came from 26 points down on the road and won. After that win, Niko Medvod joins the Mind Of Miles podcast to talk about ... well, mostly not that game, but some about that game, too. You never know where a conversation will go when you enter the Mind Of Miles.

Wisconsin had a roller coaster season in 2020. They started out the year 13-10, but they ended up winning their last eight games to earn a No. 1 seed in the Big Ten tournament ... that was cancelled. With everyone back from that team, Wisconsin entered this season with a ton of hype. How tough has it been for Greg Gard to deal with those expectations, and the pressure of replacing a legend in the program he grew.

Oh, and dogs. They also talk about dogs.

The Ivy League was prescient. They were the first conference to cancel the 2020 postseason. They were the first conference to announce that they will not be playing during the 2020-21 season. They've missed more basketball than any other league. What is that like for people that build their lives around the sport? Tim Miles talks that through with Penn coach Steve Donahue and Brown coach Mike Martin.

San Diego State has grown into one of the best programs outside the Power 6 conferences. From Kawhi Leonard to Jamaal Franklin to Malachi Flynn to Matt Mitchell, there is always talent on that roster and star players ready to prove they were overlooked. Brian Dutcher has been instrumental in helping Steve Fisher grow, and now, on his own, maintain, the Aztecs. Get a feel for what it is like to operate a power outside the realm of the power conference structure with two guys that cut their teeth in the Mountain West.
