We highlight some of the gripes with have with rankings but that pales in comparison to the gripes we have with some coaches and officials. Additionally, have you checked out the AAC yet? Hilarious top half. In addition to the AAC, I want you all to check out the other conference standings to indicate which conference tourneys could provide the most theater.

We are so pumped to bring on Samford's Mitch Cole to talk everything Samford hoops.

Theater In College Hoops (Ep. 235)- Revisiting Preseason Predictions

Pretty simple premise here... it's the midway point of the season so we had to revisit our preseason predictions. Which takes are up in flames? Which thoughts are trending down? Which predictions are trending up? And which predictions are a slam dunk. We go across our COY, POY & Championship picks and we got a few great ones to reminisce on. Subbi also goes in on Clemson for not only being fraudsters... but for getting away with it in the general public. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Theater In College Hoops (Ep. 234)- Interview With Auburn Assistant Coach, Mike Burgomaster

We welcome back an old (and best) friend to the program as Mike Burgomaster from the Auburn Tigers was kind enough to come through. Truly one of the best dudes that is currently on a college basketball sideline. We discuss his tremendous promotion from Director of Ops to Assistant Coach and all of the new responsibilities that come with it. We also talk about Auburn's win streak and the key personnel that is contributing to that. The leadership of KD Johnson, the youthful talent of Aden Holloway and the dynamic approach of Chad Baker-Mazara have been incredible to witness.
