On today's episode, Jake and Marty welcome back a giddy Reags after Kentucky went into Allen Fieldhouse and beat down the Jayhawks (06:40). How far can this Wildcats team go in March? Could they be a one-seed in the tournament? 

In the other marquee SEC-Big 12 matchup, Alabama picked up one of their biggest wins of the year over Baylor (15:49). The Crimson Tide now have wins over 3 of last year's Final Four teams. How can anybody predict how far Alabama can go in March? Should we be concerned about the Bears?

We then touch on Texas' win over Tennessee (29:18) before getting to our interview with Miami head coach Jim Larranaga (34:25).

Coach Larranaga discusses the current state of his Hurricanes, why the ACC is actually underrated, his Cinderella Final Four run with George Mason, and his very brief stint as a Detroit Piston. Plus - Coach Larranaga breaks down last week's half-court buzzer beater against Virginia Tech. 

We wrap up the show with Love/Hate (01:12:03) and Beating The Buzzer (01:20:34).

On today’s Championship Recap episode, the Kansas Jayhawks are National Champions. The guys break down the game which saw a few big runs by both teams. Carolina took a huge lead into half but Rico worked some Twitter magic and it turned it all around. The Jayhawks took went on a huge run but the Tar Heels didn’t back down. In the end, Kansas cuts down the nets in what was one of the most memorable tournaments.  Rico is a big winner seeing as he’s been on the Jayhawks from Day 1. Or has he?

On today’s episode of Barstool Bench Mob, we bid farewell to Coach Mike Krzyzewski. Coach K’s career comes to an end after Duke falls to North Carolina in the Final Four. Marty and Rico are heart broken and Big Cat hops on to give their eulogies. Is Coach K’s legacy dead? What happened to Duke in this game? Did the game live up to the hype?

In the first game, Kansas went wire to wire and took down a banged up Villanova team. The Wildcats just didn’t have the horses. Did the Jayhawks have the easiest path to a championship game? And if they beat UNC on Monday night, will anybody except Jayhawks fans care?

We wrap up with some stories from our week down in New Orleans.
