Can Nebraska be the fifth team in the NCAA Tournament and just how many games do they need to win to feel comfortable? Then there's a discussion about whether this tournament will be chalk or crazy.

Reags gets together with Clem for this episode to have a therapy session about their beloved New York Knicks. The season is over, but as everyone knows it's officially Knicks SZN as they attempt to find a new head coach, have a star going through a torn ACL injury and have a top-10 pick in the upcoming draft.


This episode goes all over the place. The guys talk about the Jeff Hornacek firing and what they made of his era before getting into potential candidates for the open position. There's a trip down memory lane as they talk about the 90s teams and the Allan Houston free agency signing.

What teams got snubbed/didn't deserve to get in? They naturally get off the rails talking about a new tournament idea for some of the worst teams in the country.
