Will the coronavirus, and concerns surrounding the widespread disease, cause more conference tournaments to ban fans -- and are we headed for the NCAA Tournament without paying customers in the stands? Parrish and Norlander explain why they believe the answer to that question is yes. This episode begins with a lengthy discussion on the questions, frustrations, need-to-knows and still-to-knows about the biggest story in the world and how it's impacting college basketball. From there, the guys give love to the small schools who've received auto bids (39:00) and Norlander details his powerful story on Vermont's Anthony Lamb (55:00), who has battled depression and suicidal thoughts on his way to becoming maybe the best player in UVM history. The guys close with an enjoyable mailbag segment (68:00). Shouts to Charles Jenkins!
