Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to the pod to discuss the NCAA tournament bracket, Bruce Pearl's non-stop whining, and how the system has been systematically rigged against the (medium) guys. Also, Rick Pitino is a coaching legend, and also a coaching lizard. Can you root for a guy like that? "Ethical hoops" and the nature of Bam Adebayo's 83 vs. the Wizards. Sports radio may have jumped the shark, but do you need to brag about it? The rise of Fanta and Larry David's 3rd echo of Seinfeld like humor.

Czabe welcomes back ol' running mate BRIAN BUTCH, and is shocked to hear him spout a very "establishment" take when it comes to the P5 conferences vs. everyone else.
