Summary
Iowa coach Fran McCaffery has been suspended two games for accusing an official of being crooked. GP and Norlander open that, then get to St. John's not-good loss to Xavier on Thursday night (7:00), which leads the guys to a greater conversation about the bubble and the Big East this season. From there, a lot to get to with the weekend's games: Kentucky-Tennessee (20:15), UCF-Houston (32:00), Nevada-Utah State (38:45), Gonzaga-Saint Mary's (43:00), bubble chatter (52:00) and Maryland-Michigan (54:30). Also, the end of the pod veers into the odd: Parrish slept in his car before he recorded this episode.

| 0:11.8 | Welcome back to the Ion College basketball podcast. |

| 0:37.4 | Our last podcast was recorded after Fran went bananas, but before Iowa suspended him, |
| 0:42.5 | we both on that podcast that was recorded Wednesday morning thought that he deserved a |
| 0:47.4 | suspension and he got it two games. |
| 0:49.3 | Norlander, we won't spend much time on this, but let me ask is the two game suspension |
| 0:53.3 | is it appropriate? |
| 0:54.7 | It is. |
| 0:55.7 | And it's more than what I expected. |
| 0:57.9 | You know, on the previous pod, I actually thought that he was not going to face this kind |
| 1:02.0 | of discipline, but good to see after we recorded and before the news came down, I did hear |
| 1:09.0 | from a big 10 coach who said this is almost certainly going to be a suspension and then |
| 1:13.4 | like 30 minutes later, the news came out that indeed that it was. |
| 1:19.4 | It's the right call. |
| 1:20.4 | So right number of games, no issue with it whatsoever. |
| 1:24.4 | Two thoughts on this. |
| 1:25.4 | One, McCaffrey had a press conference there and as I watched what he said in the press conference, |
