Taking Sports by Storm: A Deep Dive Into Golf, NBA, and MLB


Listen Later

On March 30, 2026, Jamal and guest Chuck Gore cover multiple sports stories, starting with Hamilton College’s Division III ice hockey team upsetting undefeated Hobart 2–1 in overtime to win the NCAA championship.

 

They then break down UConn’s dramatic comeback win over Duke, including Duke’s late mistake, Dan Hurley’s antics, broadcast reactions, and Final Four picks (UConn-Illinois and Michigan-Arizona; they project Michigan vs UConn or Arizona vs UConn). They discuss college basketball’s declining fan experience due to one-and-done and the transfer portal, then pivot to golf: Tiger Woods’ latest vehicular incident and enabling, plus Gary Woodland’s Houston Open win after brain surgery and mental health struggles, and LPGA standout Hyo Joo Kim beating Nelly Korda again.

 

They vent about MLB opening the season midweek on Netflix, touch on early Mets/Yankees notes, and finish with the Philadelphia 76ers’ late-season surge, Paul George’s suspension return, Embiid’s health, and playoff positioning.
