Summary
Your hump day edition of the pod has Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander opening on Michigan State getting de-pantsed by Duke. The convo opens on avoiding groupthink and assessing MSU's season now, then the guys get to Vernon Care Jr. (12:00), the Duke freshman who's been the second-best first-year player in the country this season. As for Louisville (16:30), well, Cards fans are going to love this segment. Indiana (27:30), we see you, too. The Hoosiers haven't left home yet, but an 8-0 start is worth spending some words on. The pod wraps on a serious topic: Georgetown (33:40). Two players have transferred, but three players have been accused of sexual violence, sexual harassment and burglary. Norlander provides some reporting and details; Parrish provides some questions that deserve answers, but answers Georgetown is yet to offer.

| 0:32.9 | I said Michigan State would be up 15 points on Duke Tuesday night and win by double digits. |
| 0:38.0 | Turns out the exact opposite happened in reality. |
| 0:41.8 | Duke was up 15 points on Michigan State, led by as many as 22, won the game by double digits |
| 0:46.7 | 8775 inside the Brezzin Center. |
| 0:49.6 | So I was way wrong about that. |
| 0:51.5 | But what I got right is when I said if Michigan State loses, folks would start asking |
| 0:55.2 | big questions about the Spartans. |
| 0:56.8 | Now here we are with folks totally reasonably asking big questions about Michigan State. |

| 1:02.5 | It's because Michigan State is now five and three with a 69-62 neutral court loss to a Kentucky |
| 1:07.5 | team that subsequently lost at home to an Evansville team that's ranked 176th at Kenpah. |
| 1:13.4 | The Spartans also have a 71-66 neutral court loss to the Virginia Tech team, pick 14th in |
| 1:18.5 | the preseason ACZ poll. |
