Summary
On today's episode, Jake and Marty welcome back a giddy Reags after Kentucky went into Allen Fieldhouse and beat down the Jayhawks (06:40). How far can this Wildcats team go in March? Could they be a one-seed in the tournament? In the other marquee SEC-Big 12 matchup, Alabama picked up one of their biggest wins of the year over Baylor (15:49). The Crimson Tide now have wins over 3 of last year's Final Four teams. How can anybody predict how far Alabama can go in March? Should we be concerned about the Bears? We then touch on Texas' win over Tennessee (29:18) before getting to our interview with Miami head coach Jim Larranaga (34:25). Coach Larranaga discusses the current state of his Hurricanes, why the ACC is actually underrated, his Cinderella Final Four run with George Mason, and his very brief stint as a Detroit Piston. Plus - Coach Larranaga breaks down last week's half-court buzzer beater against Virginia Tech. We wrap up the show with Love/Hate (01:12:03) and Beating The Buzzer (01:20:34).
