Summary
Parrish and Norlander take a diverse tour through college hoops, touching on a bunch of teams they normally don't get a chance to chat about. It starts with Michigan State's loss against Illinois, then onto St. John's beating Marquette (7:30) before touching on K-State leading the Big 12 (15:45) thanks to its convincing win over Kansas. From there, a tour around college hoops (22:40), including Syracuse, Duke, Utah State, Kentucky, Loyola-Chicago and Tennessee, which is still sort of underappreciated. The guys close (37:15) with love for the Wofford-East Tennessee State game on Thursday, and talk mid-major NCAA Tournament chances in general. This episode is brought to you by ZipRecruiter.com.

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, it's Gary Parish. It's Wednesday, February 6, 2019. Welcome back to the |
| 0:11.8 | Ion College basketball podcast where we sometimes discuss camera fighting and leaky |
| 0:15.9 | black. Matt Norlander is here with you know when I say it's Wednesday, it's true. It's |
| 0:20.5 | technically Wednesday but practically speaking, it is late Tuesday. I just got out of |
| 0:24.9 | studio here in New York, CBS Sports Network at the moment. It's 12.50 a.m. Eastern. So we're |
| 0:30.7 | doing an Ion College basketball podcast after dark following a busy Tuesday night in the |
| 0:35.2 | sport. And would you believe it? If I told you Michigan State's now on a three game losing |
| 0:39.1 | streak, it's true. Two Sundays ago, Michigan State had a 13 game winning streak Spartans |
| 0:43.2 | were 18 and two overall nine and O in the big 10 and being discussed as somebody who should |
| 0:49.0 | be in the conversation with Duke, Gonzaga, Tennessee and anybody else at the top of the |
| 0:54.8 | sport. Then they lost at Purdue and no big deal. Purdue's good. Losing on the road to |
| 0:59.1 | Purdue was not alarming because actually that tip off Purdue, although unranked at |
| 1:03.9 | tip off was actually favored at tip off. But then they backed that loss with Saturday's |
| 1:09.3 | home loss to an Indiana team that was on a seven game losing streak. That's not great. |
| 1:14.1 | And then on Tuesday night, that was 79 74 at Illinois. This is an Illinois team that's |
| 1:19.0 | 18 15. So that's another bad loss for the Spartans. Norlander makes sense of it. How |
| 1:24.4 | has Michigan State gone from 18 and two to 18 and five in a span of 10 days? It's lost |
| 1:31.9 | three straight games, Parrish. That's a good answer. That's an accurate answer. I will accept |
| 1:36.1 | it. I am happy that you will because it is accurate. This is weird, man. Michigan State |
| 1:42.1 | has gone from a team that I have to speak to a few big 10 coaches in mid-January and |
| 1:50.5 | all of them said that Michigan State was the best team in the conference. I'll admit |
| 1:54.9 | one of those coaches happened to be affiliated with Michigan State, but nonetheless there |
