The #17 Illini are handed their first conference loss of the season by #4 Purdue, in an instant classic 96-88 in double overtime! Andre Curbelo returned to the court for the first time since November and nearly helped lead Illinois to a comeback win. Craig Choate and Logan Lee breakdown that game and look ahead to the only other matchup of the week, at Maryland.

The guys also give their thoughts on the College Football National Championship game, Georgia beating Alabama 33-18.

Then they go into some professional sports headlines. The NFL Playoffs have been lackluster for the most part, aside from the Dallas vs. San Francisco and Cincinnati vs. Las Vegas games. Cowboys fan, Craig, reacts to the absurd ending of that game and who the guys think might be headed to the Super Bowl.

25% of all NFL head coaching positions are vacant at the moment, including the Chicago Bears. Who do Craig and Logan think might be the best available?

The show closes by talking about the loss of Bob Saget, who was a huge part of both our hosts childhood with Full House and America’s Funniest Home Videos. Rest in Peace, Bob Saget.
