AJ Black breaks down Tonkara’s shot-blocking and rebounding skills, the impact on Jack Bailey and Luke Hunger’s roles, and whether BC finally has the firepower to compete in the ACC. The episode also takes aim at the NCAA’s expansion to a 76-team tournament—does this really help programs like Boston College, or does it dilute March Madness for fans?
