Tim Donnelly says NC State basketball and head coach Kevin Keatts are in another must-win situation as they face Syracuse basketball at home at PNC Arena to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive. 

Also, UCONN basketball is the team to beat in college men's basketball this season, and might the 'villain' that college basketball needs. Also, changes to the selection process for the 12-team College Football Playoff. 

Tim Donnelly says the Carolina Hurricanes are looking like a team ready for the Stanley Cup Playoffs after their most recent win, 6-3, over the Chicago Blackhawks, which also showcased the talent of skill of Connor Bedard for Chicago, but also shows that the Hurricanes under head coach Rod Brind'Amour can be successful no matter who's in goal, including Spencer Martin.

But questions still remain about who the goalies will be as the playoffs approach. 

Tim Donnelly says Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and GM Dan Morgan have to be strategic about how they approach the franchise tag Brian Burns, and more potential free agent signings, such as OL Trent Brown from the New England Patriots, and WR Mike Evans from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Tim Donnelly discusses a trade scenario that has been floated about the Carolina Panthers trading Brian Burns to the Detroit Lions for the 29th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but Donnelly says that more than the 29th pick needs to be part of the trade, which could mean Jameson Williams.

Tim Donnelly says Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales emphasized familiarity when rounding out his coaching staff, which is a correction from the previous staff with Frank Reich where owner David Tepper had influence on the coaching staff.

Tim Donnelly says the Carolina Hurricanes earned two strong wins on the road over the Arizona Coyotes and Vegas Golden Knights, even with questions about the future in goal with Frederick Andersen working his way back from blood clots, Antti Raanta out with a lower body injury, Pyotr Kochetkov playing strong, and Spencer Martin earning wins in two starts this season.

Tim Donnelly says UNC basketball is at their most efficient offensively when running through Armando Bacot down low, and through Harrison Ingram, which allows RJ Davis to be his most efficient as a shooter for head coach Hubert Davis.

Also, Wake Forest basketball struggles to win on the road once gain, this time a 49-47 loss at Virginia basketball as Wake Forest and head coach Steve Forbes are on the outside looking in for the NCAA Tournament. 

Tim Donnelly says NC State basketball and head coach Kevin Keatts have a tough road to making it to the NCAA Tournament, but that their recent win over Clemson basketball with a late game-winning bucket by DJ Horne was a step in the right direction.

Also, Duke basketball freshman guard Jared McCain is leading the Blue Devils after a 35 point performance against Florida State basketball and is the heartbeat for head coach Jon Scheyer's team. 

Tim Donnelly & Dennis Cox discuss the Carolina Hurricanes facing the Arizona Coyotes & Vegas Golden Knights in a back-to-back on the road, but questions still rise about what Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon & President/GM Don Waddell will do at the trade deadline regarding goaltending. 

NC State basketball travels to Clemson basketball as their NCAA Tournament hopes are hanging by a thread, and Wake Forest basketball travels to Virginia basketball searching for a win on the road at UVA Basketball. 

Tim Donnelly says UNC basketball needs to turn their level of play and season around quickly, and it starts for head coach Hubert Davis against Virginia Tech basketball.

Also, Duke basketball is on the road at Florida State basketball where they look to continue to build off of recent wins. 

Tim Donnelly says that the Carolina Panthers and owner David Tepper have to rebuild their image as a franchise, and it starts with how they treat their current players as NFL Free Agency approaches.
