  • Just awesome!

    College basketball has lost its popularity over the years but listening to this shows how amazing it still is. It’s great to hear stories from when I was growing up in the late 80s/90s/early 2000s but also about the current landscape as well. I can’t wait for this to hit my player every week. Thanks!
