King McClure is fired up for today's episode of The King McClure Show. Kansas State terminated Jerome Tang's contract, but will the Wildcats be able to get out of paying their former head coach his $18 million buyout?

Duke vs Michigan AND Arizona vs Houston... tune in for King's picks!

King McClure is back with a full breakdown of Kansas’ big win over the previously-unbeaten Arizona Wildcats.

And what are we supposed to make of the latest twists and turns in the Amari Bailey and Charles Bediako sagas? All that and more on this episode of The King McClure Show.

This current group of freshmen—led by stars like Cameron Boozer and Mikel Brown Jr.—is the greatest class the sport has ever seen. The duo breaks down Arizona’s "bulletproof" dominance following their road win at BYU, arguing that the Wildcats’ inside presence makes them a lock for the Final Four. Between debates on Nebraska’s "beautiful brand" of basketball and Michigan’s late-game execution, the hosts also tackle the "ridiculous" legal battles and injunctions currently shaping the tournament landscape. Finally, they offer advice to aspiring recruits on navigating the NIL era, emphasizing that talent will be found whether it starts at a high-major or a mid-major program.
