Folks it's true, we are three weeks from round of 64 action in the NCAA Tournament. Let that wash over you for a minute because it's about to be absolute go time for the hoops heads out there. Loaded Thursday show as you've come to expect from this program; Norlander had boots on the ground in Hartford to watch UConn absolutely smoke St John's, meanwhile Hartzell was at home under the covers watching a loaded night of SEC hoops. Plenty to unpack from Wednesday night (and Tuesday, for that matter), before the guys welcome in Mike Boynton Jr to talk Michigan hoops and get some perspective on what it was like matchup up against the POY favorite last weekend and getting ready to face the highest-rated offense in the history of Ken Pom on the road Friday night. Really good stuff from Boynton on life in Ann Arbor with one of the nation's best basketball programs. Full weekend preview with a lookahead to a loaded dance card on Saturday and Norlander drops a Staind reference - yes, really - on our way out.

We're back after mother nature wouldn't let us tape on Monday. Norlander is still snowed in, but the power is on, the internet is humming, and we're podcasting a day later than usual. Lots to get to in a belated weekend recap PLUS some Big Monday results worth sharing. Houston has lost three in a row, sounds like it could be time to get in on the Cougars. Kansas continues to rack up top-5 wins but are the guys buying what the Jayhawks are selling? North Carolina won a game against a Louisville team that Hartzell is very much out on, which Norlander calls him out on. The guys run through their biggest takeaways from the weekend's games - including Norlander's trips to Indianapolis and Saint Louis - and another round of 'what would you do?' involving an Uber driver and life in the not-so-fast lane. Norlander reads reviews at the end of the show - so keep em coming!

Things continue to trend downward in Knoxville after Tennessee dropped a third straight game, this time to Texas A&M, and suddenly things could be looking hairy for March. Plus Megan and Rob discuss everything else from Thursday (LSU's late comeback over Ole Miss, some notable ACC results) and dissect an impactful Wednesday that saw Texas Tech hammer Baylor by 30 and the A-10's multi-bid hopes implode.

Very special CSN 'After Dark' that was recorded shortly before midnight on Wednesday while Matt Norlander is cooped up in downtown Indianapolis and Hartzell is at home absolutely grinding on some late night hoops. We had - maybe - the GOY in college basketball Wednesday night in the form of an Arkansas and Alabama 2OT thriller, plus a shocking UConn upset at home to Creighton, and oh yeah, Darryn Peterson did the thing again. So much stuff went down on Tuesday the fellas try and touch on all of it, including Georgia's win at Kentucky that came out of nowhere and the sights, sounds, and beatdown that Norlander saw firsthand at Mackey when Michigan put it on the Boilermakers. If you don't know by now, this Saturday is going to be all-timer, so get your chores done early because we got Arizona at Houston and Michigan vs Duke and this is big boy basketball. We're not raising our voice at you, this is on camera and we know you can hear us!

If you've ever played video games you know the feeling of powering on Street Fighter or Tekken and getting to choose your fighter before going to battle. It feels like that in the Big 12 and B1G right now. So many options, each with their own strengths (and flaws), but multiple paths towards the same goal. So, in light of the weekend action - which Hartzell and Norlander break down enthusiastically for the first 45 minutes of the show - now might be a good time to lock in and choose your fighter in these two leagues because, buddy, they're absolutely loaded at the top. Special guest Ritchie McKay - the head coach at Liberty - joins the show to talk about what it's like riding a 16-game win streak and looking to stay perfect in CUSA play. Does Norlander even know where the CUSA tournament is? You'll be shocked to know that he does, in fact, not. Coach McKay brings the gas and brags about his veteran team looking to punch back-to-back tickets to the big dance. Monday and Tuesday are jam-packed with some really good basketball, which the fellas touch on before some brief 'Now Spinning' and just like that Norlander is off to Indy for some mid-week hoops and mock selection committee work.
