Episode Notes

Tennessee crushes Louisville 83-62 as the Cardinals struggle without Mikel Brown Jr.—could his absence derail Pat Kelsey's high-octane offense this season? Andy Patton and Isaac Schade break down the Volunteers’ dominant defensive showing and Ja'Kobi Gillespie’s star performance, examining Louisville’s ball-handling issues, cold three-point shooting, and frontcourt depth concerns as ACC play approaches.

The show also spotlights UConn’s national championship credentials after overwhelming Butler behind Solo Ball’s scoring and stifling defense, while St. John’s solves its three-point woes in a key win over DePaul. Are Creighton and Marquette primed for Big East redemption or stuck in a league-wide slump? Get predictions for Memphis vs. Vanderbilt, South Florida vs. Alabama, and a look at UCLA’s home challenge against Arizona State. Plus, Andy Patton and Isaac Schade assess Dayton’s rout of Florida State and forecast the potential Tournament hopes for struggling powerhouse programs.
