#354: Season Recap Series - Big 10

Our postseason conference postmortems continue with the home of the back-to-back national champions: the Big East! We go through the highs (the top 3), the lows (good god, DePaul and Georgetown), and everything in between for the league that is the pride of John Fanta. Plus, we discuss the state of each program and whether each fanbase should feel encouraged going forward. Will the BEast see a resurgence in NCAA appearances in 2025? We certainly think so...

#352: Season Recap Series: ACC

Time's up, portal poachers. Either they're in or they're out, as the portal pool is finally set in stone (kind of). Jim and Matt dive into who needs what based on what the rosters look like on May 1st while Ky and the Mrs. elope in Switzerland.

#351: When the Portal Shuts, A Door Opens

On the true debut of our offseason pod schedule, the fellas give all 60 hires a grade from A through F (apologies to Chicago State, Mount St. Mary's, and Florida A&M;, whose jobs remain unfilled).  THE TWIST: We can only give out 12 A's and 15 B's, and each guy must give at least eight D's and five F's. Grade inflation, be gone!  Who LOVED the Calipari hire, and who simply gave it a C? Which select few coaches earned A's across the board from us? And, gulp, who earned the dreaded scarlet letter F?
