Three-man-weave: College Basketball Podcast

The boys break down the Big Bag Big 12! All 16 teams discussed, standings (with tiers) included! The league is as top heavy as ever with potentially FIVE top ten teams! Does the bottom of the conference weigh down the group?

Alas, the Atlantic / Pacific / Texas Coast Conference breakdown, a fruitiful and never-ending discussion of yet another super power conference conglomerate. Weave with us through all 18 teams, as the ACC looks to avenge a disappointing non-conference performance last year...

It's big bad Big Ten time! The newly coast-to-coast league is packed with parity, and we've convinced ourselves that any of the 18 teams could theoretically earn at at-large bid this season. But is there a true national title contender lurking among all that balance? Will the massive variance of teams like Illinois, Rutgers and Indiana result in huge years, or scuffling disappointments? And how does the addition of the Big Ten's West Wing (UCLA, USC, Oregon, Washington) impact the overall landscape of the league in hoops?   The Rundown (0:10) - Intro (5:40) - Root's Roundup (17:02) - Big Ten Overview (Standings, All-Conf, Storylines) (25:46) - Purdue (30:01) - Indiana (33:53) - Oregon (37:25) - Michigan (41:31) - Rutgers (45:50) - UCLA (49:29) - Illinois (53:34) - Michigan St. (56:40) - Ohio St. (1:01:16) - Washington (1:04:32) - Maryland (1:10:28) - Iowa (1:13:33) - Nebraska (1:17:02) - USC (1:20:42) - Wisconsin (1:23:35) - Northwestern (1:26:40) - Penn St. (1:30:02) - Minnesota

The Weave triumphantly returns from our two-week hiatus to formally convene a crucial meeting of our very own Rules and Oversight committee. After a quick Root's Roundup (Wins Above Bubble on the team sheets!!), we dive into a roundtable about rule changes to college basketball. What do we want changed? Are we afraid of change?

Take a tailgate break, college baseball maniacs! Our season recap series wraps up with the conference where it simply means more. Before Oklahoma and Texas join the fold, we took a look back on the year that was in the SEC. Though football still reigns supreme, the hoops programs have come a long way - this league has great coaches galore and NIL money to burn. What is the state of each squad going forward?  We also look back on our preseason preview podcast, taking stock of both our great and terrible takes. South Carolina = way way better than expected, and Mizzou and Arkansas = way way worse! The Rundown: (0:10) - Intro (5:09) - Root's Roundup (News & Notes - Dan Hurley is staying!)
