Summary
There were no major upsets this weekend. But a handful of good teams -- No. 1 Gonzaga, No. 2 Kansas, No. 20 Texas Tech, etc., -- were pushed by unranked opponents. The pod opens on that, then gets to Lagerald Vick and Kansas (3:09) and Nevada's 8-0 start (12:43). On Sunday, Arizona got to 6-2 (20:17). Is Sean Miller going to get the Wildcats back to the NCAA Tournament even though most predicted he wouldn't? As for UConn (24:45), Akok Akok committed, which is big. Then the fun begins. Norlander has Parrish play "Guess the Celebrity" (28:31) and the guys wrap with a wide-ranging conversation on the College Football Playoff and how it compares to the NCAA Tournament process (37:10).

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, it's Gary Perish. It's Sunday, December 2, 2018. Welcome back to the Iron |
| 0:09.6 | College Basketball Podcast. Got Madgirl and I here with Ben. And like we told you on Friday, |
| 0:14.8 | there were no games scheduled in college basketball this weekend between two top 15 opponents. |
| 0:20.7 | And they're not being any big upsets this weekend. But number one Gonzaga was pushed at |
| 0:25.8 | Crayton. Number two Kansas was pushed at home by Stanford, even though Kansas was a 20 point |
| 0:31.2 | favorite in that game. Norlander, I know you were in front of a television most of this |
| 0:35.2 | weekend of all the results the games. What stood out to you? Well, listen, there's a ton, |
| 0:40.3 | a ton that went down. But Saturday itself was was kind of crazy. You had a lot of ranked teams, |
| 0:49.7 | Perish, that were flirting with losing that were really threatened with the loss. Either a deficit |
| 0:57.3 | early in the first half or lingering in the second half. And that's that goes from Buffalo playing |
| 1:01.6 | in Ireland, by the way. That was on CBS Sports Network playing against San Francisco. That was a good |
| 1:06.9 | game in NATO. It's a team where we'll remain ranked because they got the win. Kentucky got a 17 point |
| 1:11.8 | win over UNC Greensboro. And they were losing early in that game and then they kind of pulled away. |
| 1:16.9 | So if you see the final score, you might not have thought anything was too much of a miss with |
| 1:20.5 | Kentucky. But it's actually got its issues on both ends of the three point line. We'll get to |
| 1:25.7 | that in the podcast down the road. Gonzaga Crayton was probably the most entertaining game on Saturday. |
| 1:31.8 | Crayton led throughout the first half into the second half. Gonzaga really flipped a switch |
| 1:37.4 | and was able to get that six to eight point cushion. Rui Hachmura, Brandon Clark were fantastic. |
| 1:43.0 | Zach Norfell had his moments and Gonzaga doesn't even have all of its pieces. Doesn't have |
| 1:47.1 | Geno Krandel. Doesn't have Killing and Tilly. And it's why I tweeted on Saturday. When that team |
| 1:51.7 | is healthy, I do believe it's got a good shot at being better than even the team. That was a one |
| 1:55.8 | seed two years ago. That only had two losses. I do love with that Gonzaga team. Scott Crayton has |
