(22:03-30:58) – GoldAndBlack.com’s Brian Neubert joins the show from St. Louis to preview tonight’s NCAA Tournament game for the Purdue Boilermakers against the Queens Royals. Does Queens have the makeup to make things interesting tonight? What switch was flipped for Matt Painter’s team in Chicago during the Big Ten Tournament? Plus, Brian highlights why the NCAA Tournament is one of the best events in all of sports because you get to see humanity unfiltered.

Jake asks Kyle about what kind of player Purdue will be getting next season in Luke Ertel, identifies Decatur Central as the Cinderella story of the IHSAA State Tournament, and provides his take on why we are starting to see so many players and coaches leaving high school programs in the state to go to a preparatory school.
