On this episode of The King McClure Show, King and Hank are diving deep into one of the biggest weeks in college basketball. King launches a brand-new segment, “15 in 5,” breaking down his top-15 teams in the nation at lightning speed. Arizona, Michigan, Duke, Iowa State, UConn — who’s rising, who’s sliding, and who’s built for March?
Next, the guys debate whether this season is shaping up to be a two-team national title race, and King explains why he thinks Arizona deserves more hype than Michigan. The conversation then turns to Kansas: should fans be worried about Darryn Peterson’s injury? King breaks down what it means for the Jayhawks’ season — and why a shutdown might actually happen.
They also dive into national-championship tiers, why elite guard play wins in March, a wild Kansas vs NC State finish, Nebraska’s rise, Kentucky and Alabama’s status, “Hot or Not,” “Kings of the Week,” and a fiery reaction to Joel Klatt’s take on the NCAA Tournament.
