Blue Ribbon College Basketball Podcast, Ep. 170: Chatting with the OG Bracketologist, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi, and delving into Miami (Ohio) with Blue Ribbon associate editor Lindsey Willhite.

In the newest episode of the Blue Ribbon College Basketball Podcast, hosts Chris Dortch—editor and publisher of Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook—and Kevin Ingram—the radio voice of Vanderbilt men’s basketball—discuss a variety of college basketball (and other) topics:

• Chris gives some shoutouts to players and coaches who have earned postseason awards.

• Joe Lunardi joins us to talk about going Hollywood, who else can win the natty besides the Big Three, whether so-called Cinderella upstarts are gone for good and whether Miami (Ohio) deserves a bid.

• Blue Ribbon associate editor Lindsey Willhite, who has covered the Mid-American Conference for us for many years, tells us the story behind Miami’s fantastic run and how it happened despite key personnel losses.

• Chris and Kevin provide an update on the coaching carousel, which is spinning faster and faster as the days go by.
