Ep. 1137: MSU basketball takes shape, an expanded NCAA tournament, and Nick Baumgardner on the Lions

from Couch and The Rube · host Graham Couch & Jason Knick

Off the top, we dig into MSU's basketball roster with the NCAA's decision to push forward with five years of eligibility, but not in time for Carson Cooper or Jaxon Kohler. We look at the addition of big man Anton Bonke, and discuss the problems with the expansion of the NCAA tournament. Then The Athletic's Nick Baumgardner joins us for a conversation on the Detroit Lions' NFL draft and roster (26:00). And finally, the Tigers, Pistons and Norm's golf bets (45:00).
