Summary

Gary Parrish is joined by Matt Norlander and Sam Vecenie for this episode of the Eye on College Basketball podcast. They open on Wichita State's resume and whether the Shockers should be in or out of the NCAA Tournament. Then they talk about Indiana's outright Big Ten title, Northern Iowa's buzzer-beater in the MVC Tournament final, and the stupidity that is Big 12 voters giving Big 12 Coach of the Year to somebody not named Bill Self. They also unveil the CBS Sports conference awards, and they close on Gonzaga's resume.
