Episode 8: Jon Rothstein Breaks Major News & Sweet 16 Preview

16 teams remain in College Basketball, but the offseason drama has already begun. St. John's has hired Rick Pitino as their next head coach. Ed Cooley has flipped inside the Big East from Providence to Georgetown, Dave Portnoy is in College Basketball twitter wars with Jeff Goodman, and a whole lot more has happened. Mark breaks down all the news as we have it, plus gives out three storylines for this weekend in the NCAA Tournament. Jon Rothstein joins us just moments before breaking the Tobin Anderson to Iona news,but he does give us at least one exclusive scoop (41:19-1:25:55). Mark then puts the 16 remaining teams into tiers based on how urgently they need to win this year, before we close with some shoutouts and notes. The Sweet 16 starts tomorrow night. Who will punch their ticket to Houston?

It's finally the best time of the year again, and we will have new episodes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday throughout the duration of the tournament. On Friday's episode we will recap day one of the Sweet 16, and deep dive the storylines at play for the rest of the weekend.
