Matt also dives into University of Illinois basketball and the controversy surrounding star player Terrence Shannon Jr. In other regional basketball news, SLU continues to struggle in the A10 and Mizzou hoops still has yet to secure a win in SEC play, but may break the curse vs Vanderbilt on Saturday. Charles Davis, former NFL defensive back and current NFL analyst on CBS, then joins the show to discuss the Super Bowl, the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, the confidence Patrick Mahomes brings to a team, and the championship grit of Brock Purdy.
