Hour #1: Duke Self Destruction, Ben McCollum, & Illinois is Indy Bound!

Brad Evans and Pat Boyle are still in awe over Sunday afternoon’s finish between Duke and UConn, as Braylon Mullins sends the Huskies to Indianapolis with a shot for the ages. The crew discusses how much blame does John Scheyer and Cayden Boozer deserve for Duke’s collapse, was Dan Hurley fortunate not to get a technical after the shot, and Illinois advances to their first Round of 4 in over two decades! Then, Iowa Head Coach Ben McCollum joins the show fresh off taking the program to their first Round of 8 since 1999, discussing how he would describe his first season in Iowa City, what made Illinois such a hard team to prepare for, will he be rooting for a Big Ten team to end their long National Championship drought, the impact Bennett Stirtz has made for the program, and how does hearing his name in the coaching carousel rumor mile make him feel? The hour wraps by breaking down Illinois convincing victory over Iowa to advance to the Round of 4 for the first time since 2005, and what are the key differences in the upcoming matchup against UConn, compared to the two teams first meeting of the season in November.
