About this episode

Steve Czaban and Kevin Sheehan discuss the expansion of the NCAA Tournament to 76 teams and its implications for college basketball.

The NCAA Tournament is expanding to 76 teams — and nobody asked for it. Steve Czaban and Kevin Sheehan break down why the Field of 76 is a classic case of league executives solving a problem that didn't exist, and what it signals about where college basketball is headed. Plus: reactions to a spicy early NBA playoffs, the death of Washington Football legend Monte Coleman, the latest on LIV Golf's uncertain future, and the viral video corner.
