With the NCAA season coming to an end last Monday, March Madness is officially over the College Basketball off-season is officially underway.

So to kick off things off, it is only right that the Maryland-based podcast that is the Hoop Talk Podcast should reflect on the Men & Lady Terrapins' season and what is next for both programs. But of course we could not do this alone.

We of course had to bring on perennial guests and huge Maryland Hoops fans Brooks Warren of the Hear me Out Podcast and Ian Evans host of The Impact Podcast.

On this edition of the Hoop Talk Podcast, the fellas are going to share their takeaways from this season for both Terrapins teams as well as discuss our early expectations for both teams going into next year.

We cover their NCAA performances, transfer portal news, coaching situations and so much more!

Stay Tuned and we hope you enjoy 😊!

It is that special time once again in the world of college basketball: The March Madness NCAA Tournament. Three weeks of high-level collegiate basketball as 68 of the best programs in the nation face off against one another on the Road to the Final Four. A postseason filled with major upsets, bizarre buzzer-beaters and unsung heroes looking to play their way into immortalizing themselves through a moment or a run that will go down in NCAA history forever. 

With that all being said it is only right that we breakdown everything going down in this year's tourney and what better way to do that than to bring in some real College Basketball analysts and former players who know the game inside and out.

We had the pleasure of speaking with Andrew and Aaron Robinson of All Facts Media who host "The Auto Bid" podcast where they talk to players and coaches while breaking down everything in mid-major hoops!

Definitely a great sit down with these guys as we breakdown some of the individual matchups, look at each region, make our predictions for the Final Four and even reminisce on some of our favorite NCAA Tournament moments from last decade or so! Hope you guys enjoy, you are in for a real treat with this one. Let the Road to the Final Four Begin!

When it comes to the G-League, no team was under wider microscope than the G-League Ignite team. The team is made up of some of the most talented class of 2021 prospects including guys like Jalen Green, Jonathan Kuminga, Daishen Nix and Isaiah Todd along with legitimate NBA veterans like Jarrett Jack and Brandon Ashley.

As a team that may revolutionize the NBA basketball pipeline as a more reliable Segway to the NBA than college basketball or overseas, this team came with high expectations and a lot of things to dissect.

On this edition of the podcast, the guys have a roundtable discussion with friends of the show Brooks Warren from the "Hear Me Out Podcast" and Ian Evans from "The Impact w/ Ian Evans Podcast" breaking down some of their biggest takeaways from the Ignite's G-League season.
