Illinois and Mizzou hired new coaches this offseason, so Sam Snelling of RockMNation and Jim Vainisi of the ChampaignRoom got together to talk about the rekindled rivalry between the two schools, expectations and, of course, recruiting.

The end of the season is here, and it's time to wrap up season 1 of Paint Touches with Sam and Chris talking about the dud national championship game, player of the year, coach of the year, and get their hot takes on all the coaching changes.

This week Sam and Chris pick the National Champion and it's not South Carolina, North Carolina or Oregon. That's right! Gonzaga is gonna win (now watch them lose). We also chatted about the whole "Foul Up 3" conundrum, football stadium seating for basketball games, the Atlantic 10 making good hires, and more.

WE ARE SO CLOSE TO THE NCAA TOURNAMENT! In fact this is the LAST Bracketology podcast. Chris and Sam talk small conference tournament championship upsets like Monmouth, Belmont and Valpo all go down.

Sam and Chris had really nothing to talk about this week. Other than the first win in conference play for the Oregon State Beavers guys, GUYS! Oh, also some bracketology break down, who is in Conference USA again? And much more.

Chris and Sam talked about their weekend trips based around college hoops, the frustration of trying to figure out a decent bracket and much much more!

Chris and Sam break down the fun games early on Saturday including Missouri's first win in the SEC. Is Kentucky really struggling? Are the Syracuse Orange figuring it out? And some Mid-Major madness.
