We're back after mother nature wouldn't let us tape on Monday. Norlander is still snowed in, but the power is on, the internet is humming, and we're podcasting a day later than usual. Lots to get to in a belated weekend recap PLUS some Big Monday results worth sharing. Houston has lost three in a row, sounds like it could be time to get in on the Cougars. Kansas continues to rack up top-5 wins but are the guys buying what the Jayhawks are selling? North Carolina won a game against a Louisville team that Hartzell is very much out on, which Norlander calls him out on. The guys run through their biggest takeaways from the weekend's games - including Norlander's trips to Indianapolis and Saint Louis - and another round of 'what would you do?' involving an Uber driver and life in the not-so-fast lane. Norlander reads reviews at the end of the show - so keep em coming!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Things continue to trend downward in Knoxville after Tennessee dropped a third straight game, this time to Texas A&M, and suddenly things could be looking hairy for March. Plus Megan and Rob discuss everything else from Thursday (LSU's late comeback over Ole Miss, some notable ACC results) and dissect an impactful Wednesday that saw Texas Tech hammer Baylor by 30 and the A-10's multi-bid hopes implode.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Very special CSN 'After Dark' that was recorded shortly before midnight on Wednesday while Matt Norlander is cooped up in downtown Indianapolis and Hartzell is at home absolutely grinding on some late night hoops. We had - maybe - the GOY in college basketball Wednesday night in the form of an Arkansas and Alabama 2OT thriller, plus a shocking UConn upset at home to Creighton, and oh yeah, Darryn Peterson did the thing again. So much stuff went down on Tuesday the fellas try and touch on all of it, including Georgia's win at Kentucky that came out of nowhere and the sights, sounds, and beatdown that Norlander saw firsthand at Mackey when Michigan put it on the Boilermakers. If you don't know by now, this Saturday is going to be all-timer, so get your chores done early because we got Arizona at Houston and Michigan vs Duke and this is big boy basketball. We're not raising our voice at you, this is on camera and we know you can hear us!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy N

If you've ever played video games you know the feeling of powering on Street Fighter or Tekken and getting to choose your fighter before going to battle. It feels like that in the Big 12 and B1G right now. So many options, each with their own strengths (and flaws), but multiple paths towards the same goal. So, in light of the weekend action - which Hartzell and Norlander break down enthusiastically for the first 45 minutes of the show - now might be a good time to lock in and choose your fighter in these two leagues because, buddy, they're absolutely loaded at the top. Special guest Ritchie McKay - the head coach at Liberty - joins the show to talk about what it's like riding a 16-game win streak and looking to stay perfect in CUSA play. Does Norlander even know where the CUSA tournament is? You'll be shocked to know that he does, in fact, not. Coach McKay brings the gas and brags about his veteran team looking to punch back-to-back tickets to the big dance. Monday and Tuesday are jam-packed with some

Vandy sent a major statement over Texas on Thursday night, and with the first top-16 reveal looming it could had significant implications. Rob and Megan break down that game in-depth, plus all the other happenings from the week (hello TCU!). And, with 15 days left in the regular season, that's seemingly one day for each of Rob's ramblings this week. National Player of the Year, Madison Booker, Big 12 respect, elite coaching, attendance, he plays all the hits.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There's one undefeated team left in college basketball and it belongs to Travis Steele, head coach of the Miami (OH) RedHawks, who are 24-0 and looking to keep it rolling heading into March. Norlander and Hartzell open the show talking to Coach Steele about basketball, non-conference scheduling, and cold plunges (which you'll learn is a critical part of Steele's day-to-day). After the deep dive on the 'Hawks, the guys unpack a wild last couple of days on the hardwood where just about everybody not named Michigan or Houston has picked up an L. Hartzell has jokes about the Big 12's new LED glass court, and questions the 'Holy Hoops' story that Norlander broke earlier in the week about teams traveling to Rome to potentially play basketball in front of the Pope next November. Weekend preview, Olympics banter, and 'Now Spinning' wrap the show and folks, that's the show.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Happy Opening Day 2026! As they've done the last two seasons, the #3D crew has hit the road to feature a Top 25 team as they prepare for the start of the season! This year, it's the #11 North Carolina Tar Heels in the spotlight, as host David Kahn sits down for 3 exclusive interviews with head coach Scott Forbes and team captains Gavin Gallaher and Matthew Matthijs. The 3 UNC representatives get into what they're bringing from last year's Super Regional loss to Arizona into 2026, the philosophies of this team, leadership qualities they've embraced and more. Coach Forbes also recounts meeting Nick Saban at College Gameday and discusses how this new group came together, while Matthijs gives an in-depth breakdown of his recovery from a UCL injury that cut his 2025 season short, and Gallaher describes his evolution as a player and role model over the last 2 seasons, as well as the growth of his fabulous mustache. Dugouts, Dumbbells and Dingers is sponsored by Homefield Apparel. They provide quality, thoughtful ap

Goodness that was a sports weekend, wasn't it kids? Super Bowl was underwhelming but the college basketball delivered in a big way, starting on Friday night in the Big East and rolling all the way into the wee hours of Sunday morning. Right off the jump Hartzell & Norlander bring in Joe Ovies from OG Triangle Media to unpack what we all saw in Chapel Hill on Saturday; the buzzer-beater, the court-storming, and the fallout from yet another Duke/UNC classic. It always delivers, folks! What does Joe think about the Duke angle from another rare loss that happened the same way they seemingly all do, plus where the 'Heels can go from here, building off a big rivalry win. Hartzell is convinced the best game of the weekend was actually in the Big Ten between Michigan State and Illinois, plus other observations from an A+ weekend on the hardwood. And yes, there in Lindsey Vonn discussion and Bad Bunny reaction in 'Now Spinning' which is, as always, worth waiting for. Great show, no notes.See Privacy Policy

It was another loaded Thursday night across the country, with five ranked-vs-ranked games, plus OT in Athens, an upset in Iowa City and more! Rob Joyce and Megan Gauer recap everything from an impactful week nationally, talk about a wild race to get into the top-16, and give kudos to some teams who have cooled any bubble talk with some pivotal victories.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Not one, not two, how about THREE court storms on Wednesday night and we're talking about all of 'em here on CSN. Matt Norlander joins Stephen Hartzell to break down all the drama from the weekday games, including Portland's shocking upset of the Zags, college basketball's latest villain, and BYU's road win problems. Hartzell dunks on Duke's on-court shoes from Tuesday night, plus a mea culpa on Darryn Peterson after his heroics (and 35-minutes played) in Lubbock earlier in the week. Speaking of heroics, how 'bout the Billikens?! Josh Schertz is the head coach at Saint Louis and he joins the show to talk about the incredible season they're having in the A-10, including serving drinks after last weekend's win, Robbie Avila's foggy goggles, and being 'bullet-proof' as a team on both sides of the ball. Really good stuff from Schertz - including his Super Bowl pick and preferred food spread for Sunday's game - followed by a weekend preview and some brief DMB Summer Tour discussion on 'Now Spinning' to wrap t

Hartzell is on his second straight week of being at home with the kids because of all the snow in North Carolina, so him and Norlander fire up some early morning CSN to recap the weekend, starting with the Sunday results of Florida over Alabama and Illinois doing it again on the road against a top-5 team. The guys discuss the Darryn Peterson story from the weekend, because no one is doubting the guy is elite, but is he really hurt or just cosplaying as hurt? The KU faithful are starting to get concerned and so, too, is Hartzell. How long can Bill Self and Co keep this going when their star simply isn't playing for the entire second half? Special guest Brian Boesch, who is the radio play-by-play voice of the Wolverines, joins the show to talk Michigan at Michigan State from last Friday and what the B1G race looks like down the road when Michigan visits the Illini in a few weeks. GRAMMY's recap to end the show for 'Now Spinning' because Hartzell was not impressed and thinks CBS mailed it in for their final

It wasn't the busiest week of the season, but there was still plenty to recap from the week. But boy oh boy is it coming as the calendar flips to February. Sunday and Thursday each feature SIX top-25 showdowns. Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce run through all of it and discuss what the updated tournament picture looks like as we have single-digit games remaining for most in the regular season.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The most popular 'Now Spinning' segment we do every year returns for the Grammy's this weekend; Norlander attempts to 'spot the fake' in the nominees this year - and Hartzell has the help of AI, unlike in season's past - so you have that to look forward to at the end of the show. The hoops portion of today's program is loaded as we recap boots-on-the-ground takeaways from Norlander's trips to Provo & Nashville earlier this week. Is Nebraska better than we all thought even though they lost at Michigan? What about the rest of the B1G including a Purdue team that's suddenly dropped 3 in a row? Hartzell asks the tough questions about Saint Louis not getting enough love from Norlander and the rest of the national media, and why we need to embrace some A-10 basketball this Friday night! Full weekend preview is in the offing, including the Blitz making it's debut on the hardwood this season - starting at 1 PM ET on Saturday we'll bounce around with live whiparound coverage of all these games, available excl

If you weren't locked into the college basketball on Saturday you really missed out. Three different freshmen went off for 40+ points, in total there were seven diaper dandies that dropped 30+, and oh by the way the actual games were pretty damned good too. Matt Norlander spent the weekend in Utah hitting the slopes and watching the AJ Dybantsa show, he's got boots on the ground for Monday night's marquee matchup with Arizona visiting BYU. So full recap of everything that went down on Saturday - including a wellness check on Hartzell who is snowed in with a couple inches of sleet in the Piedmont! Some brief discussion on the Monday night card which features Duke hosting Louisville in the appetizer. Tuesday night is loaded too with not one but TWO 20-0 teams taking the floor. And in 'Now Spinning' some words on the Goose vs Geese debate which has really broken contain after the SNL performance over the weekend. Lots to get to and just one football game left on the schedule so what's your excuse? Exactl

Megan is back and better than ever and we've got GAMES to discuss. Another crazy Thursday with two top-20 games going to overtime in Norman and College Park, plus everything else that happened throughout Wednesday and Thursday. Then on Sunday there's (barring weather) a top-5 SEC clash in Columbia between South Carolina and still-undefeated Vanderbilt. Alaina Morris of Vandy 24/7 jumps on to talk Commodores.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Props to the mighty Miami U RedHawks who are 20-0 on the season and we got Matt Norlander dropping bars on today's show about just how big of a deal that actually is. The list of recent mid-majors to get to that mark are few and far between, and Norlander talks about why we all need to be locked in on what's going down in the MAC. What about the other two undefeated teams in D1? Let's bring in Evan Miyakawa to brag about his website and break down what the analytics say about the teams at the top of his rankings. How many teams does Evan have as national championship contenders - and why that answer might surprise you. Hartzell and Norlander wrap the show with some brief weekend lookahead to the top games on deck, plus why is Norlander wearing a Dispatch show that's almost 15 years old?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

That's right, folks...this is our last college football show for awhile. Hartzell needs a break (besides, he's got hoops shows dropping twice a week on this here feed), but don't worry because Roddy and Wayne bring the gas. Natty takes and reaction from what we all saw on Monday night, plus a whole lot more. Including - but limited to - Indiana's historic build, the thin margins that decided the game, whether or not Carson Beck is to blame, and some pretty good stories from behind-the-scenes at ESPN all weekend with Roddy. After a solid 40 minutes of Indiana/Miami talk, the conversation shifts towards the future of college football - and not just what 2026-27 will bring. Are these player contracts going to continue to swell, or is market correction coming? What about the Darian Mensah situation at Duke? And do the guys all agree that the B1G is the best football league in the country now that it's been three in a row? A spirited show to bookend the football season, because it's not goodbye forever, it

Indiana 27 Miami 21 ... and just like that ... football season is over, folks. We got Michael Felder with us to break down his takes on the National Championship game and there are many. Should Indiana have scored more than they did? What about Carson Beck's late pick? How do we feel about how Cristobal's game management and decision-making? Tripp is back from his stomach bug and has some opinions, and for the most part these are FSU-free opinions. Is Indiana built to last? Where does Cignetti rank today in the pantheon of active college football coaches? And yes, some Don Fischer audio for you die-hards who need to hear from the legendary voice of IU. There's a lot to get to, we pack it all into a 70-minute show. Enjoy because football podcasts are about disappear from this feed for a few months!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Special MLK Day edition of CSN recapping the basketball weekend as only we can. Matt Norlander lets it out on his Bears dropping an OT thriller on Sunday night (it's not your fault) and then the hoops talk picks up. What a weekend in the SEC with Florida winning at Vanderbilt and Kentucky storming back - again - to beat Tennessee on Rocky Top. Did the 'Cats save their season with a pair of come--from-behind wins last week? And is Florida now the team to beat in the league? Any how about Norlander not even acknowledging Hartzell's text on Saturday afternoon. Rude. From the mighty SEC to the Big 12, B1G, ACC, and much more...the guys touch on everything you probably missed from the weekend because you were locked in on NFL playoffs and God knows what else. Lock in with the fellas because college football season is over, folks. Indiana is about to B2A in South Florida tonight, time to get your mind right on the college hoops and we got you covered here on CSNSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/priva
