Summary
On today’s episode, Jason is joined by ESPN college basketball analyst Fran Fraschilla for a lengthy hoops conversation. During the interview, Fraschilla discusses the idea of expanding the NCAA Tournament, which teams he thinks are most likely to cut down the nets in March, which under-the-radar teams could make some noise in the tournament, whether Darryn Peterson's inconsistent availability at Kansas could impact his NBA Draft stock, whether guys like Cameron Boozer and AJ Dybantsa have any real shot to get selected first overall, and much more!
