Click the link above to listen to the February 28, 2022 episode of the College Hoops Chat radio show (46 mins) with guests former coach Pat Kennedy & Brian Rauf of Heat Check CBB.
I open with our show’s upcoming schedule for March Madness and give my Iona Report with Gaels winning 2 more games (Canisius & Rider) & becoming #1 Seed in MAAC Tournament. I also talk about Tuesday’s big games for my Bonnies (St. Bonaventure @ VCU) & Bulls (Toledo @ Buffalo), and begin discussing Crazy Upset Saturday – when 7 of Top 10 Teams in AP Poll lost this past Saturday – first time in history of CBB.
Next is Pat Kennedy, and we discuss Crazy Upset Saturday, his old team Towson winning Colonial, Iona in MAAC Tournament, how to prepare a #1 Seed to avoid a slip up in Conference Tourney, teams that pose biggest threat to Iona, and his thoughts on recent Juwan Howard & Danny Hurley incidents.
Then I’m joined by Brian Rauf and we discuss 2 of the biggest surprise games on Crazy Upset Saturday: St Mary’s over #1 Gonzaga & Colorado over #2 Arizona. We also chat about the emergence of JD Notae of Arkansas as a top player in nation and bubble teams. Brian offers 2 Cinderella teams for NCAA Tournament: Colorado St & Iona (he gets A+ for picking the Iona Gaels).
I wrap up the show with callers #KennyFrom Rye on Iona & Providence and #JohnFromPortChester on Iona.
