12/22: If the NCAA tourney started now, UNC and UK wouldn't be in. Butler and Baylor would be 1 seeds. Season's drunk.

Is it actually true that college hoops has no great-great players this season? Bill Self and Jay Wright think so. This hour-long ep opens with some empirical evidence -- and an engaging discussion -- why that is the case but why this shouldn't be the new normal for college hoops. Then Parrish gets to Ohio State beating Kentucky (23:00) in the CBS Sports Classic, with a focus on why this could be a bottom-three team Calipari's had at UK (but a caution on that topic, too). After that, Norlander challenges GP that Ohio State deserves No. 1 over Gonzaga (34:00) -- while also noting that undefeated San Diego State has top-three credentials. From there, Norlander gives love to Colorado-Dayton, which was an OT thriller (46:30) and finished with Colorado winning at the horn. And what about Butler? The Bulldogs (53:00) should be a No. 1 seed in every bracketology forecast as of now. Amid all this, the guys have some funny off-topic tangents and gags that we promise you will make our pre-Christmas angst lower, even for a bit.
